Uber Driver’s Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience With Indian Players:

A dashcam video from the driver’s car showed him waiting for his next passengers, unaware of the surprise ahead.

The clip of the unexpected moment quickly went viral on social media, delighting cricket fans everywhere. Viewers found humor in the driver’s stunned silence as he realized his passengers were Indian cricketers. Many said his reaction was completely natural, while others playfully imagined what they might have said if they were in his place during such a surprising encounter.

The viral clip captures the players and the driver arriving at their destination, exchanging brief pleasantries before parting ways. The driver, who appeared to recognize the cricketers after a second glance, maintained professionalism throughout the journey, choosing not to disturb them despite clearly realizing he had famous passengers in his car.

Indian Trio Aim to Make Their Mark:

Prasidh Krishna, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Dhruv Jurel, who have previously played together for the Rajasthan Royals, are part of India’s current squad in Australia for the ongoing ODI series. However, the trio has yet to feature in the playing XI for the first two matches. India, meanwhile, finds itself trailing 0-2 in the three-match series after suffering consecutive defeats in Adelaide.

India will look to salvage pride as the final ODI moves to the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground. With the series already decided, players like Prasidh Krishna, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance to showcase their skills and gain valuable experience in Australian conditions.

Virat Kohli’s comeback series has started on a challenging note. Two consecutive ducks in the first two ODIs against Australia were far from what his fans had hoped for. However, Kohli’s sharp instincts in the field during the second ODI in Adelaide drew attention and highlighted his cricketing acumen.

As India defended 265, cameras captured an interesting moment between Kohli and Australian batter Travis Head, who was on 28 at the time. Indian fans still remember Head’s explosive 137 off 120 in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which shattered India’s dream of winning the trophy for the third time.

Aware of Head’s potential to dominate the game quickly, Kohli approached the Australian opener, placed an arm around his shoulder, and said something. Moments later, Head miscued a shot off Harshit Rana and was caught by Kohli himself. Though the exact words remain unknown, the incident highlighted Kohli’s psychological sharpness on the field.

Kohli Equals Yuvraj Singh in Most Ducks for India in ODIs

Despite the fielding highlight, India lost the match by 2 wickets, with Australia sealing the series 2-0. For the first time in his career, Kohli scored two back-to-back ducks in ODI cricket. In 304 matches, he has now recorded 18 ducks, equalling Yuvraj Singh, who played 301 ODIs to achieve the same.

While Kohli and Yuvraj are joint-4th on India’s list of most ducks in ODIs, the 3rd position belongs to Anil Kumble with 18 ducks in 269 matches. The 2nd spot is held by Javagal Srinath with 19 ducks in 229 matches, while the record is held by Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 20 ducks in 463 ODIs.

Though India has already lost the 3-match series 2-0, the Men in Blue will look to restore pride in the third ODI. The final match of the series will be played on October 25 at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground. Fans will be keen to see if India makes any changes to the squad and whether Kohli can regain his form with the bat while continuing his brilliance in the field.

<![CDATA['I Wanted an Upright Stance for Bouncy..' – Shreyas Iyer reflects on his new batting technique after AUS vs IND 2nd ODI]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/i-wanted-an-upright-stance-for-bouncy-shreyas-iyer-reflects-on-his-new-batting-technique-after-aus-vs-ind-2nd-odi/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/i-wanted-an-upright-stance-for-bouncy-shreyas-iyer-reflects-on-his-new-batting-technique-after-aus-vs-ind-2nd-odi/ Fri, 24 Oct 2025 11:39:34 GMT

Shreyas Iyer made a heroic half-century in the second ODI between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval on Thursday, October 23. The right-handed batsman contributed significantly to settling the Indian innings by adding a vital 118-run partnership off 136 balls for the third wicket with Rohit Sharma. Their association followed early losses when Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were sent packing in the seventh over by Xavier Bartlett. Due to their consistent effort, India was able to register a fighting score of 264/9 in the first innings.

In spite of India's solid comeback, Australia chased the score in 46.2 overs with two wickets remaining. Iyer's calm innings was one of the few positives for India on an otherwise challenging day. His condition-sensing ability to play with patience was enjoyed by supporters as well as pundits.

Talking after the game, Shreyas revealed his new batting stance, which has been a subject of debate among cricket fans. The Mumbai batter revealed that he wanted to return to a more upright stance to help him handle extra bounce on certain pitches.

Shreyas Iyer Explains His Upright Stance and Key Partnership with Rohit Sharma

“Well, this technique which I've got lately, it's not that I've changed over the time, but since last year, I wanted to have an upright stance where the bounce is a little bit more than expected. And based on that, I worked with my coach and we developed this new technique and it was kind of suiting me pretty well. And the way I grew up playing, it was very much that I predominantly had an upright stance,” Iyer said at the post-match press conference.

He further added, “And I just was like, let's go back to my old technique and see how it paces up. So yeah, I backed myself and then from there on, I started in the domestic. And then till now, I've been continuing with the same stance.” Speaking about his partnership with Rohit, he said it was crucial to steady the innings against Josh Hazlewood’s fiery spell. “It wasn’t an easy wicket to bat on, especially at the start, so we decided to rotate the strike and build momentum. Even in Mumbai, on red-soil wickets where there’s extra bounce, this stance helps. You’ve got to keep changing depending on the pitch, and right now, I feel I can adapt anywhere.”

The fans were treated to a classic Rohit Sharma show as he orchestrated India's innings with patience and composure. His placement and timing demonstrated that the "Hitman" was back in form.

The second ODI between Australia and India will be held on October 23 at the legendary Adelaide Oval. Team India, who were disappointing in the previous match, will be looking to make a strong comeback and address their batting problem before the decisive game. The Men in Blue will hope to provide an improved all-round performance to keep the three-match series alive.

The fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in action as the star pair prepares to take on Australia again. The series was one of the most awaited encounters this year, and it saw Kohli and Rohit return to international cricket after a break of eight months. The return of the star pair in Perth, though, didn't go according to expectations and left fans disheartened following India's dismal batting display.

Even after the initial ODI setback, the fans are full of enthusiasm. The Adelaide Oval is officially sold out for the second game, showing the strong support Indian cricket continues to enjoy in Australia. For many fans, the chance to see Kohli play at one of his most successful venues was too good to miss. The upcoming match is now a must-win clash for India to level the series.

Kohli and Rohit Aim to Bounce Back in Adelaide

“The tickets for the Men’s ODI between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval are now sold out. The match is the second of a three-game ODI series, with Australia claiming a seven-wicket win in the first ODI in Perth. The Men’s ODI in Adelaide begins at 2 pm local time,” said a media release by Cricket Australia.

The legendary pair of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have returned to the ODI format after an eight-month gap. In the first match, Kohli was dismissed for a duck, while Rohit managed only eight runs, but both will be determined to turn things around in Adelaide. With the World Cup 2027 in mind, the series holds great importance for India’s future planning. The Men in Blue last won an ODI series in Australia back in 2018 under Kohli’s captaincy, and they’ll be keen to repeat that success once again.

After a disappointing return to international cricket, Virat Kohli spent extra time in the nets on Tuesday, working hard ahead of the second ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. The Indian star looked focused and determined as he practiced some of his trademark shots during Team India’s training session at the venue that has always brought out his best performances.

In a video shared by SACA News, the official ‘X’ handle of the South Australia Cricket Association (SACA), Kohli was seen playing confident back-foot punches and  elegant cover drives and finishing the session with his classic pull shot. The batting legend is eager to bounce back after being dismissed for a duck in the opening ODI in Perth, his first international innings since leading India to the Champions Trophy title on March 9.

Kohli will now look to make amends at one of his favorite venues, the Adelaide Oval. Across formats, he has scored 975 runs in 12 matches at this ground, averaging 65, with five centuries and four fifties to his name. No other venue has seen him score as many runs or centuries, making Adelaide his most successful hunting ground outside India.

Kohli’s Adelaide Memories and Historic Knocks

Kohli's deep-rooted affection for Adelaide took shape in 2012 when he got his first Test century against a strong Australian lineup of Ryan Harris, Ben Hilfenhaus, and Peter Siddle. He was the only Indian batter to surpass the mark of 300 runs in the series, even with legends Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and Virender Sehwag in the team. His love for the venue deepened in the 2014 Test series when he made twin hundreds (115 and 141) in the same match while leading India for the first time in place of MS Dhoni.

Kohli’s magic continued in limited-overs cricket too. In January 2019, he hit a brilliant 104 off 112 balls at Adelaide, helping India win the ODI series against Australia. So far in 2025, Kohli has scored 275 runs in eight innings, with one century and two fifties. After India’s loss in Perth, the team will be hoping for another classic Kohli innings at his beloved Adelaide Oval, a ground where he has time and again reminded the world why he is one of the greatest batters of this generation.

Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma was seen giving valuable advice to young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal during a practice session in Adelaide as Team India prepares for the second ODI against Australia on Thursday, October 23, 2025. With Australia leading the three-match series 1-0, India is under pressure to bounce back.

Jaiswal, who made his ODI debut earlier this year against England, is still trying to establish himself in India’s white-ball setup. Though he has been reliable in Tests, his chances in ODIs and T20Is have been rare. Rohit’s guidance on handling Adelaide’s pitch conditions could be crucial for the left-hander as he looks to make an impact.

India had a tough outing in the series opener on a bouncy Perth pitch, suffering a seven-wicket defeat. Rohit, returning after a seven-month break from international cricket, looked rusty and was dismissed for just eight runs by Josh Hazlewood. Despite stepping down from the captaincy, the 38-year-old remains focused on contributing as a senior batter.

Team India Looks to Veterans for Comeback

India is undergoing a transition phase with new ODI skipper Shubman Gill leading the team in Australia. The team is banking on seasoned stars such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to guide the youth and steady performances after a poor beginning.

Virat Kohli also returned to action in Perth but endured a rare failure, dismissed for a duck by Mitchell Starc. It was his first duck in 30 innings on Australian soil, with Starc’s swing proving difficult as Kohli faced a maiden over before getting out. With the series on the line, India will look to regroup and rely on its veterans and young guns to challenge Australia in the pivotal second ODI at Adelaide.

Veteran Indian batsman Virat Kohli was seen practicing in an intense batting session ahead of the second ODI of the three-match series against Australia. The match is to be played on Thursday, October 23, at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. Kohli hopes to resurrect himself after a disappointing performance in the series' first match, when he got out for a duck off eight balls by Mitchell Starc in Perth on Sunday, October 19.

India suffered a disappointing day in the first ODI as they lost the game by seven wickets according to the DLS method. With the team looking to get back on track in the second ODI, Kohli was seen perfecting his game in the nets, displaying keenness to play a key role in the next match.

Even though the team suffered a recent loss, Kohli has a brilliant ODI record against Australia. He has scored 2,451 runs in 49 innings at an average of 53.28 and a strike rate of 93.40, including 15 fifties and eight centuries, making him one of India’s most reliable performers against the Aussies.

Ashwin on Rohit and Kohli’s Form

Both returning ace batters, Rohit Sharma (8) and Virat Kohli (0), struggled in India’s opening ODI against Australia. Legendary spinner Ravichandran Ashwin shared his thoughts on their form on his YouTube channel: "For their good, I think they can focus a bit more on preparation, especially in terms of playing games before going on tours, but that is not entirely in the hands of players, it needs to be planned by the team management. This is too early to talk about Virat and Rohit, because there are a few more games. My only worry for them is can they get more game time?"

Ashwin added, "It is not going to be easy for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. I really hope they get some kind of flow, because they have not played any cricket recently. If you are going on an international tour, planning is necessary. We have often travelled overseas 10-15 days before the series begins, travelled in 2-3 batches, so that definitely can be done." Rohit and Kohli have retired from Tests and T20Is and now represent India only in ODIs at the international level.
