Promotion Of Harshit Rana Over: India suffered another defeat against Australia as the hosts clinched the second ODI on Thursday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. With that, the Men in Blue registered their first ODI loss in Adelaide in 17 years.

While Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Axar Patel stood up with the bat, the bowling and fielding performances were not enough to contain the hosts from chasing the target.

Though Australia lost eight wickets in their chase of 265 runs, some dropped catches by the Indian fielders meant the Men in Yellow won the game by two wickets, with 22 balls remaining.
