India faced yet another disappointing defeat against Australia and have conceded the ODI series with one match to spare. Australia beat India by 51 runs to win the second ODI match and also claim the three-match ODI series with one game in hand. The defeat also meant India have now lost five successive ODI matches on the trot. Interestingly, Rohit Sharma has missed all of those five games for India.
