- Toss was important in this match but the coin did not fall in favor of India. Australian captain Steve Smith won the toss and chose fielding looking at the pitch and invited India to bat. India had to suffer here.
- It was expected from the top order that he would give a good start to the team in this match. But neither the bat of Rohit Sharma, who is returning from this match, nor Shubman Gill. Suryakumar Yadav also returned to the pavilion early. The team did not get a good start, due to which the hopes of a big score got a blow.
- After a bad start, it was expected that there would be some big partnership in the middle order, which would help the team to handle and reach a good score. But even this did not happen. Virat Kohli was the top scorer of the team and scored 31 runs. He shared a 29-run partnership with Rohit Sharma for the second wicket, which was the biggest partnership for India in this match.
- Virat Kohli had set his feet and was expected to play a good innings, but after being set, Kohli was lbw to a straight ball and it proved to be a huge blow for India. Had Kohli survived, he is such a player who could have made the match on his own.
- Indian bowlers also disappointed. Certainly they did not have many runs to save but Team India’s bowling did not show any edge and could not take a single wicket.
