The second ODI between Australia and India is being played at the Adelaide Oval on October 23, 2025. Australia won the toss and chose to field first.

India struggled at the top once again as Virat Kohli (0) and Shubman Gill (9) fell early. But veteran Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer added 118 runs for the third wicket to steady the ship and put India on a path to a good total.

Rohit Sharma made 73 in 97 balls with seven fours and two sixes, while Iyer made 61 in 77 balls with seven fours to his name. Axar Patel's 44 and Harshit Rana's quickfire 24* off 18 made for important lower-order contributions, taking India to 264/9 in 50 overs.

Together, the Mumbai pair broke the shackles as India was put under immense pressure after early wickets. Some 'yeses and noes', however, threatened to break the coalition throughout their stand.

At one point, after arguing over a run, the two batters refused to look at each other. Rohit went off after tucking a ball from Josh Hazlewood, but Shreyas Iyer sent him back. At that point, their chat was recorded by the stump microphone.

Rohit: “Shreyas, this was a single.”

Iyer: “Aap karke dekho, mereko mat bolo na phir (You call, don't look at me).”

Rohit: “You will have to call first, then. He (Hazlewood) is bowling the seventh over.”

Iyer: “I don’t know the angle he is running at. Give the call.”

Rohit: “I can't give you that call.”

Iyer: “It's in front of you.”

Rohit: *nods head*

Aakash Chopra, on commentary, weighed in: "This is an indication for all garden boys. That this is their call. Shreyas was convinced there was no single there. He clearly said no.”

Irfan Pathan sided with Rohit.

"That's where experience comes into play. He has bowled 7 straight overs. So obviously, he will be tired. Both are making a comeback in the ODIs. They could have taken a run here," the former India bowler said while doing commentary for Star Sports.
