Indian Cricket Team faced massive trolling online after losing the second ODI against Australia by 51 runs. With this, they also lost the three-match series 0-3 – making the final game a dead rubber. Chasing a mountain of 390 runs, the visitors looked in the contest for the majority of the game. While Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer played significant knocks, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul scored impressive half-centuries. However, they tumbled under pressure with the required run rate mounting up constantly. They eventually were restricted to 337/9, not losing just the match but series as well.

Notably, this was India’s second successive ODI series defeat. Earlier this year, they lost to New Zealand 0-3 in February. However, they’ll not want to face yet another white-wash by losing the third and last ODI. On the other hand, Australia must be eyeing to register a clean sweep.
