Virat's return to Indian colours after the ICC Champions Trophy in March fell flat as he was caught fishing to an outside off-stump delivery for an eight-ball duck, handing a catch to Cooper Connolly at backward point. As he is in Adelaide for the second ODI, he faces pressure to thrive at a venue where he has had a fantastic record historically. Each performance in this now lesser-frequent fixture in the cricketing calendar would be crucial for Virat in his journey towards the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup.
