Marked by a commanding and clinically executed chase, this match showcased the brilliance of Virat Kohli and India&#8217;s ability to thrive under pressure on Australian soil. Here is a detailed recount of that extraordinary game, which saw India score their highest ODI total against Australia in Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s competitive total in the 1st inning<\/p>\n<p>Australia won the toss and elected to bat first on a day-night pitch at Adelaide Oval. The home side managed a challenging 298 for 9 in their full quota of 50 overs.<\/p>\n<p>Opening batter Alex Carey gave a decent start with 18 runs off 27 balls, with support from experienced players like Shaun Marsh, who led from the front, scoring a commanding 131 off 123 deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Peter Handscomb contributed useful runs, keeping the scoreboard ticking at a steady rate. Maxwell added a quick 48 from 37 balls.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some impressive spells from Indian bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja, Australia\u2019s batting lineup used this platform to post a challenging target of 299 runs.<\/p>\n<p>India\u2019s remarkable chase<\/p>\n<p>In reply, India faced a demanding task to surpass Australia\u2019s total, aiming for 299 runs in 50 overs under the lights. The chase was filled with tension from the outset as India lost quick wickets, including Shikhar Dhawan (32 off 28) and Rohit Sharma (43 off 52), who got starts but couldn&#8217;t capitalise significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these early hurdles, captain Virat Kohli anchored the innings superbly, playing a masterclass in chasing under pressure. Kohli\u2019s innings of 104 runs from 112 balls featured 15 boundaries and 2 sixes, showcasing his characteristic blend of composure, stamina, and aggressive strokeplay.<\/p>\n<p>His partnership with Ambati Rayudu, who contributed 24 runs, kept India&#8217;s hopes alive through the middle overs.<\/p>\n<p>MS Dhoni was unbeaten on 55 runs from 54 balls, playing the ideal finishing role with his calmness and experience. Dinesh Karthik\u2019s quickfire 25 not out off 14 deliveries further strengthened the tail-end, helping India edge closer to the target.<\/p>\n<p>India crossed the finish line with 4 balls to spare, winning by 6 wickets.<\/p>\n<p>How to watch the Australia vs India, 2nd ODI at Adelaide?<\/p>\n<p>Cricket fans in India can watch Australia vs India, 2nd ODI on JioHotstar, accessible via OTTplay Premium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home\u00bbSports news\u00bbKohli\u2019s 104 &#8211; When India scored their highest ODI total against Australia in Adelaide!\u00bb The second ODI&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[90651,1721,101,56,54,55,15624],"class_list":{"0":"post-216392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-australia-vs-india","9":"tag-cricket","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom","14":"tag-virat-kohli"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
