IND vs AUS Live Score, 2nd ODI: Kishan goes, SKY walks out as ...

India vs Australia Live Score: Another fifty for Rahul

India vs Australia Live Score: Half century in just 35 balls for Rahul. And yet, this one feels like a slow innings. That is how the Indian batters have played today, especially with the big show at the other end at the moment for Rahul.

India vs Australia Live Score: No six sixes but 26 runs off the over!

India vs Australia Live Score: SKY really making a case for himself as a starter in the World Cup. There was a bit of an ooooohhhh from the crowd when he toe ended the fifth ball, wide outside off, to backward point. Then a single for Rahul. SKY has raced to 28 off 13, Rahul on 49 off 34. India are 337/4 in 44 overs

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR CONSECUTIVE SIXES!

India vs Australia Live Score: Is it Yuvi time in Indore? He lofts the third ball over cover then the fourth one over deep midwicket.

India vs Australia Live Score: BACK TO BACK SIXES! SKY TAKES TO THE SKIES

Green comes in for the 44th, SKY takes a nonchalant swing at it and puts it over long leg. Then he scoops the second one over fine leg.

India vs Australia Live Score: India 311/4 in 43 overs

India vs Australia Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav biding his time, he is on four off 9. There was a stumping appeal against, Carey looked quite sure and that is always worry signs considering he is pretty much one of the best in the world at the moment. But SKY is safe, just about. Zampa finishes on 1/67.

India vs Australia Live Score: India 309/4 in 42 overs

India vs Australia Live Score: Rahul on 47 off 31 now, SKY is on three off five. Zampa comes back for his last over.

India vs Australia Live Score: OUT! That's it for Kishan

India vs Australia Live Score: Six off the first ball, wicket off the second. Ishan Kishan goes for a slog sweep with everything he has got, it takes the top edge and flies high into the sky. Wicketkeeper Alex Carey ditches his helmet and runs all the way out to midwicket to take quite a fantastic catch.

India vs Australia Live Score: SIX! What a shot from Kishan

India vs Australia Live Score: Zampa comes back for the 41st over and he is welcomed with a six over his own head by Ishan Kishan.

India vs Australia Live Score: India 289/3 in 39 overs

India vs Australia Live Score: 13 runs off that over, India are cruising along at close to 7.5 runs an over at the moment. Kisan on 23 off 13, Rahul on 38 off 22.

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR AGAIN!

India vs Australia Live Score: Almost the same shot the very next ball, this time a lot flatter and it is much clearer that it is a four.

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR!

India vs Australia Live Score: Kishan swivels and sends Abbott over deep backward square. The umpire signals six at first but replays show that the ball had taken a bounce before the boundary. The third umpire gets him to change that decision.

India vs Australia Live Score: India 271/3 in 37 overs

India vs Australia Live Score: KL Rahul has raced to 36 in 19 balls with two fours and three sixes. He has absolutely taken off and India could be looking at something close to 400 at this rate. Ishan Kishan, meanwhile, is at the other end on nine off five.

India vs Australia Live Score: CENTURY and OUT!

OUT! Shubman Gill goes after completing his century. India lose their 3rd wicket for 243. Like Iyer, Gill too was quite tired, and trying to muscle the ball out of the ground, top edged for the catch to be taken. Australia get some breathing space but here are two fresh batters - KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan - who are fresh and will be eyeing some lusty blows.

India vs Australia Live Score: SIXTH ODI 100 for Shubman Gill!

India vs Australia Live Score: A risky single but he gets in the crease safely. Shubman Gill's stocks continue to rise with a 6th ODI century – fifth this year. PLAYED, YOUNG MAN! Take the 'emerging out'. He could well be the best ODI batter going around at the moment.

India vs Australia Live Score: OUT! GONE this time

India vs Australia Live Score: Two balls after that lucky escape, this time, Iyer will have to depart as he skies the ball in the air for it to land safely down Matthew Short's throat. Iyer drilled a four but it seems as it fatigue and cramps got the better of him. Lofted Sean Abbott again but couldn't get the timing right. Australia strike at last, but their problems aren't over yet. Not by a long shot.

India vs Australia Live Score: Iyer survives! What an escape

India vs Australia Live Score: Sean Abbott did everything right there. Took the catch, completed the caught and bowled in the process, as he rolled on to the ground, the ball made contact with the ground. Unfortunate, but that's how it is. Second life for Shreyas Iyer and he marks the occasion by hitting a FOUR right next ball.

India vs Australia Live Score: HUNDRED for Shreyas Iyer!

India vs Australia Live Score: A boundary off the first ball of the over took him to 98 and two singles later, Shreyas Iyer raises his bat and takes off his helmet to celebrate his 3rd ODI century. His long frustrating wait ends.

India vs Australia Live Score: IND's highest ODI total could be in danger here

India vs Australia Live Score: India's highest ODI score is 418 against West Indies when Sehwag went berserk and scored 219 in 2011 at this very venue. India are already 200 inside 30 overs. Know what they usually say? The number of runs scored in the 30 overs ideally multiply by two by the 50th. By that logic, India could well go past 418 with 9 wickets still left.

India vs Australia Live Score: Iyer into the 90s

India vs Australia Live Score: Shreyas Iyer has just outscored his partner to enter the 90s, but Gill follows suit. He has two ODI centuries so far and not stands 10 short of a third. A few quiet overs for India as the prospect of a 100 could have slowed Gill and Iyer down. But nothing to worry as the scoring rate is still in excess of 7 an over. India now approaching 200.

India vs Australia Live Score: This is simply INSANE

India vs Australia Live Score: That's the only word we can think of given what is transpiring out in the middle. It's raining boundaries and Iyer and Gill have entered the UNSTOPPABLE zone now. Incredible. This is a quality Australia attack but due to whatever factors, they have been reduced to merely bowling machines. Adam Zampa is the only one who has looked a wee bit threatening and he too had conceded runs at almost 7 an over. India 187/1 after 25 overs

India vs Australia Live Score: This innings has been all about numbers

India vs Australia Live Score: Nothing to separate Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill. Both are on 78 off 63 by 22.5 overs. Also, India have scored the same number of runs – 79 – in the first 10 overs of Powerplay and the next 10 with the field spread out. You see where this is going? Yeah, us too. By the time the Indian innings finishes, pretty sure we would have plenty more.

India vs Australia Live Score: Partnership nearing 150!

India vs Australia Live Score: As the carnage continues, this partnership is now inching towards 150. Gill crunched fifth boundary with a cut shot beating the diving fielder in the deep but Hazlewood does well to finish the over with a rare dot ball. We still have 29 overs left and India have already put 166 on the board. This game might turn out to be a nightmare for cricket statisticians around the globe.

India vs Australia Live Score: 150 up for India! One-way traffic thus far

India vs Australia Live Score: One hundred and fifty runs have been raised in just 116 deliveries. And Shreyas Iyer celebrates it with a SIX. Given the ground dimensions and India's run-rate, one can't help but imagine if there's some 150-200 runs more left for India to score DO NOT… and we mean, DO NOT rule out the possibility of 400 here. Easily gettable.

India vs Australia Live Score: Laudable footwork from Zampa, but Iyer gets his FOUR and SIX

India vs Australia Live Score: Adam Zampa gets hit foot down in time to stop a full-blooded Shreyas Iyer drive. A nice loopy, flighted delivery ripping from the leg-spinner met the middle of Iyer's bat, but as Shreyas played it along the ground, Zampa showed quick reflexed to get his left foot in line off the ball. Iyer wasn't bothered too much though, as he finished the over with a FOUR and SIX. Four dot balls and still 10 runs off the over. Just one of those days for the bowling unit.

India vs Australia Live Score: NO-BALL and Shreyas Iyer raises his FIFTY

India vs Australia Live Score: He was run out in the previous game but no half-measures today from Shreyas Iyer, who brings up his half-century off 41 balls. Receives a freebee in the form of a free-hit with Johnson overstepping the previous delivery. And Iyer did not hold back. He absolutely bludgeoned the ball with a nonchalant slap straight down the ground and raises his bat. That shot brought back memories of Robin Uthappa's flat six off Brett Lee during the 2008 CB Series.

India vs Australia Live Score: FIFTY for Gill

India vs Australia Live Score: There's no stopping him. Gill blazes to a 37-ball half-century. Get there is astonishing fashion with a fourth six. India's scoring rate has dipped slightly – from 8.25 to 7.74 but that is natural with the field spread. He continues his impeccable form this year. Easily a solid contender of the ICC ODI Player of the Year award when it's time.

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR! Picks up where he left off

India vs Australia Live Score: Welcome back! It has taken Shubman Gill just three balls to pick up from where he left off as he tonks Adam Zampa down the ground for SIX. The carnage resumes. The powerplay is over and the next over, bowled by Cameron Green, is relatively quieter as five runs come off it.

India vs Australia Live Score: Finally, we have a RESTART TIME

India vs Australia Live Score: Which is just 3 minutes from now. The official time of restart is 2:55PM. The rain has given way to some bright sunshine as India resume on 79/1. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer displayed their free-flowing prowess before erratic weather interrupted their momentum. Usually, the period immediately following a weather break often sees an increased likelihood of taking a wicket. However, with the formidable form displayed by Iyer and Gill, it promises to be an intriguing battle to see which side gains the upper hand in this upcoming phase.

India vs Australia Live Score: OK then! The sun is playing Peek-a-Boo

India vs Australia Live Score: Some sunshine now as the umpires are out on the ground to monitor the conditions. Some covers have been removed, but most are still on. It is after all, a time-consuming process. The super soppers are actively working to dry the ground, but there is no official inspection schedule as yet. Don't worry. We should have some information coming our way shortly.

India vs Australia Live Score: A HUGE ROAR as the covers come off!

India vs Australia Live Score: Some positive visuals. The rain has relented and the covers are beginning to be taken off, albeit slowly. As witnessed during the Asia Cup, covering the whole ground is a wonderful move but what it does is allow a lot of water to gather on those covers. The groundsmen need to be very careful while removing them as they need to ensure no amount of water spills on to the ground in the process. Long story short - things have improved but resumption may take a bit more time.

India vs Australia Live Score: Full marks to the groundsmen

India vs Australia Live Score: It has taken the groundsmen roughly 6 minutes to get the entire ground covered. What an effort. First in Sri Lanka during the Asia Cup and now here. The boys were quick to get off the blocks and inside 10 minutes, controlled the damage. It's still raining though, but rest assured, the moment it stops, it shouldn't take longer for the officials to resume the contest.

India vs Australia Live Score: RAIN! The Gill-Iyer show has to halt

India vs Australia Live Score: ABSOLUTE BUMMER! The only thing that could have stopped this exemplary show of hitting is rain. What started off as a slight drizzle has gotten heavier and a lot more intense, forcing the players off the ground.

India vs Australia Live Score: SIX! Gill joins the fun

India vs Australia Live Score: He's been a mere spectator at the other end watching the Shreyas Iyer show, but this time, even Shubman Gill gets into the act and launches Sean Abbott down the ground for the first six of the game. Doesn't get the ball out of the middle but the dimensions are such that it cleared the ropes. Drills another boundary to go with it as the fifty run partnership between he and Gaikwad is up off just 29 balls.

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR! Iyer is in the mood

India vs Australia Live Score: What did he have for breakfast… some Kangaroo curry? Afterall, that's what he is feasting on. Sean Abbott into the attack and Shreyas disdainfully deposits him through the sweeper cover region. Make no mistake. That looks like a death-over stroke. Iyer has started his innings in the fifth gear already it seems. Spanking stroke-play. India 47/1 after 7 overs as Gill enjoys the show from the non-striker end.

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR boundaries in 11 balls for Shreyas Iyer

India vs Australia Live Score: Nerves? No, says Shreyas Iyer, who is off to a blazing start. A scrumptious flick, a gorgeous cover drive and an authoritative lift over the infield – all in a span of five deliveries. Iyer appears determined to make a statement, and right on cue, he notches a fourth boundary. He has raced to 20 runs from just 11 deliveries. JEEZ!

India vs Australia Live Score: OUT! Hazlewood with the early wicket

India vs Australia Live Score: Ruturaj Gaikwad offers a fait edge and India are one wicket down. Australia wanted that early wicket and they have got one. Gaikwad errs just that bit in misreading the length as he comes forward in defence and nicks it to Carey, who dives one-handed to his right and completes the catch. INDIA 16/1 in 3.4 overs.

India vs Australia Live Score: Much better from Johnson

India vs Australia Live Score: Guilty of bowling it full in the first over, Spencer Johnson has pulled his length back and starts with five dot balls. Gill takes a single off the last ball, tapped to third man to get India to 15/0 after three overs. Two runs in two overs. That's more like Australia, disciplined and not giving even an inch with the new ball.

India vs Australia Live Score: Hazlewood finds his line and length right away

India vs Australia Live Score: After an expensive first over, Josh Hazlewood restores some balance with a clinical first over. Just a single off it. The Australia quick teases Gill and Gaikwad with that fourth stump line around the good length area but both openers are more than glad to shoulder arms and let the ball into the keeper's gloves.

India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR, FOUR! Gaikwad and IND are away!

India vs Australia Live Score: GOSH! What a start. The first two balls of the match punished by Ruturaj Gaikwad. A juicy half-volley on the legs was clipped off the pads and a widish overpitched delivery driven handsomely through covers. Two boundaries in two balls and five wides to end the first over. Gaikwad resuming from where he left off in Mohali. India have raced away to 13/0 after 1

India vs Australia Live Score: Right then! Gill, Gaikwad must be smacking their lips

India vs Australia: We would too, had we gotten an opportunity to bat on such a pitch and at this venue. The last time Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma opened the innings for India in an ODI at Indore, they stitched a 212-run partnership. Gill and Gaikwad themselves put on 142 the other evening, and expect these 2 to carry forward the good work from Mohali. Right! Here we go. Spencer Johnson has the new ball and he would be steaming in in the late 140s.

India vs Australia Live Score: Another Johnson to add to IND's woes?

India vs Australia Live Score: He is no Mitchell, but Spencer Johnson could have been given a game, realising India's vulnerability against left-arm pace with the new ball. Spencer Johnson is a tall 6-foot 4-inch left-arm pacer, who has replaced captain Pat Cummins the line-up. He made his Australia debut in a T20I against South Africa last year and picked 2 wickets for 22 runs. Check out his profile

India vs Australia Live Score: Still no Siraj, Prasidh replaces Bumrah

India vs Australia Live Score: So as KL Rahul just informed, India are still not without Mohammed Siraj, as replacing Bumrah in the XI is Prasidh Krishna, who last played a game at the Asian Cup against Bangladesh. "We would have bowled first as well considering the size of the ground. Good wicket, good challenge to put runs on the board. We only have one change from the last game. Jasprit is rested, Prasidh comes in. Good for all our batters to spend some time in the middle."

India vs Australia Live Score: TOSS! Steve Smith, not Pat Cummins, opts to bowl

India vs Australia Live Score: How Mukesh Kumar has fared for India in his career

India vs Australia Live Score: With Mukesh Kumar being named as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement, here's a brief look at his promising yet brief India career. He made his debut in July earlier this year against West Indies, participating in five T20Is and three ODIs. In these limited-overs matches, he has picked seven wickets before making his Test debut at Port of Spain, where he managed to grab two more before being released. Mukesh may not exactly mirror Bumrah's style, and it remains uncertain if he will be part of today's playing XI. But what this does is give the opportunity to bring Mohammed Siraj back and persist with Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur

India vs Australia Live Score: No Bumrah in today's game!

India vs Australia Live Score: Hello, hello! Breaking news just coming in. India pacer Jasprit Bumrah will not be playing this second ODI against Australia in Indore. Here's why. The BCCI has named Mukesh Kumar as Bumrah's replacement.

India vs Australia Live Score: The DUCK'S out of SKY's mind!

India vs Australia Live Score: In the span of a single game, Suryakumar Yadav effectively erased the memory of his three golden ducks against Australia from earlier this year. On Friday, SKY managed to dispel doubts about his ODI capabilities by delivering a timely and vital half-century that led India to victory. This first notable success in the ODI format was met with celebration, and Suryakumar Yadav received support from an Australian cricket legend who believes in his potential to excel in one-day cricket in the days ahead. Click here to read more.

India vs Australia Live Score: Gaikwad hopes to go out with a BANG

India vs Australia Live Score: Ruturaj Gaikwad recently played what could be considered his most flawless innings in his India career, achieving his maiden ODI half-century just two days ago. Today, as he gears up for his final appearance in this series before departing to join the Asian Games squad in China, the young opener aims to finish on a high note. Gaikwad's performance was so impressive that he was able to match Shubman Gill stroke-for-stroke. Being mentioned in the same breath as India's most prolific young cricketer is a testament to his promising future. As he prepares to step up to the crease at one of India's most batting-friendly pitches, Gaikwad would be eager to exit the series on a thumping note.

India vs Australia Live Score: IND's search for answer to the BIG Shreyas Iyer question

India vs Australia Live Score: Shreyas Iyer has presented a perplexing situation for Team India. The management is keen on having him in the lineup, but Shreyas, owing to factors beyond his control, has been undermining his own prospects. Initially, his back injury created an opportunity for Ishan Kishan to join the XI, and the wicketkeeper batter delivered with impressive performances against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. Later, on his return from injury, Iyer missed out on a golden opportunity to get some runs and form going due to a run-out in the first ODI. It seems as if the universe is plotting against Shreyas, but today offers him a chance to answer back.

India vs Australia Live Score: Ravichandran Ashwin's last dance

India vs Australia Live Score: Ravichandran Ashwin scampering to have a bat in the nets after India wrapped up a win over Australia over Mohali remains the one standout visual around the first ODI. Always up for a challenge, Ashwin's tactics burned the internet as everyone went searching for reasons behind the veteran spinner's tactics. Is it a classic case of Ashwin pulling out all the stops? Or was he just following the orders conveyed to him by the team management? Either way, Ashwin's commitment to the game remains unparalleled. A day after making a comeback into the Indian ODI set-up, he batted at a practice game organised by the TNCA and now this. Vintage ASH anna!

India vs Australia Live Score: How is Indore's weather holding up

India vs Australia Live Score: Considering how the Mohali game started, under intense heat and humidity, nobody could have anticipated a rain interruption. Nevertheless, it did occur, highlighting the unpredictable weather patterns of late. Looking ahead to Sunday's forecast, a similar scenario seems to be in store. Indore has experienced scattered rainfall, albeit not of great intensity, over the past 3-4 days, and today may see a continuation of it. There is a prediction of some rainfall around 12 PM and later around 4 PM, but neither is severe enough to entirely disrupt the game. Should be nothing more than just passing showers.

India vs Australia Live Score: Changes India can make in their Playing XI for 2nd ODI

India vs Australia Live Score: As for Starc and Maxwell, no news is good news for IND

India vs Australia Live Score: The latest update on Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell is that there is no update – at least nothing positive. After the duo missed the Mohali game, Australia captain Pat Cummins, during the post-match presentation ceremony, in a way confirmed that Starc and Maxwell will not be playing the second ODI either. The left-arm quick is said to be on his way to attaining full fitness after picking up groin and shoulder issues during the Ashes. In fact, Starc was even seen preparing at the PCA Stadium on match eve but was probably pulled out of Australia's plans with the bigger picture which is the World Cup. Maxwell meanwhile, sustained an ankle injury during his preparations for the T20I series against South Africa. He arrived in India on the same day as the first ODI.

India vs Australia Live Score: Some of IND's leading run-scorers at Holkar Stadium

India vs Australia Live Score: As previously mentioned, Indore has been a happy hunting ground for India's batters, and some of them have relished their time at this venue. At the forefront of this list stands Virender Sehwag, who notched an impressive 220 runs from two innings – notably, 219 of those runs were amassed during a single innings when he achieved his maiden ODI double century against West Indies in 2011. Following closely is Rohit Sharma, with 205 runs from five innings. Even Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir also make their mark with 181 and 137 runs, respectively. Whereas among the current roster, Hardik Pandya has contributed decently too at Holkar, amassing 132 runs from two innings.

India vs Australia Live Score: The last time IND played at INDORE…

India vs Australia Live Score: Run-fest loading!

India vs Australia Live Score: The Mohali game was expected to be a run-fest but Australia, batting first, finished on 276 thanks to a brilliant five-wicket-haul from Mohammed Shami. India were cruising along before stuttering to lose 4 wickets for 41 runs. Hence, it was evident that the PCA Stadium wasn't exactly as smooth for batting as many expected. The same cannot be said for Holkar though as more than the pitch, it's the small boundaries that will ensure a lot of fireworks.

India vs Australia Live Score: IND up against a very dangerous AUS pattern

India vs Australia Live Score: HOLA!

India vs Australia Live Score: Greetings, all! We welcome you to our coverage of the 2nd ODI between India and Australia being played at Indore's Holkar International Stadium. Amidst the excitement of the Asian Games, where the Indian contingent secured an impressive five medals in China on the opening day, attention now turns to men's cricket. The series is up for grabs for the Men in Blue. After a commanding five-wicket victory in Mohali, India are ticking nearly every box and appear more ready with each passing game. A triumph here would carry significant weight for India, as they have struggled to defeat Australia in the last two ODI series on home soil, both in 2019 and earlier this year.
