Indian batter KL Rahul reached a milestone that neither MS Dhoni nor Virat Kohli, two former illustrious India captains, had ever accomplished. Rahul etched his name into the annals of cricket history by leading the Indian cricket team to a convincing victory against Australia in the first ODI of the three-match ODI series on Friday, September 22 in Mohali.
Rahul and the team put on a display of remarkable talent and calm during the game, which was played at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium. With ease, India was able to surpass Australia’s objective, and Rahul’s leadership career was greatly enhanced by the triumph.
This feat is notable because neither MS Dhoni, who was renowned for his astute leadership and remarkable composure under pressure, nor Virat Kohli, who was very aggressive when it came to team leadership, were able to secure a victory in Mohali, where India hadn’t triumphed over Australia in an ODI match since 1996. As the team’s captain in Rohit Sharma’s absence, Rahul became the first captain to accomplish the feat since 1996.
Indian batter KL Rahul’s new milestone:
The final ODI match between India and Australia was won by the illustrious Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar in 1996. However, while the cricketing community celebrates this fantastic victory, Rahul’s captaincy tenure has undoubtedly begun on a high note, leaving fans eagerly expecting what he will accomplish in the sport of cricket going forward.
Regarding the game, India requested that Australia bat first, and the Kangaroos responded by scoring 276 runs in the opening frame. With the help of a great fifer, Mohammed Shami, the team was able to keep the Australians to under 300. Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad, the starting pair in the chase, laid the groundwork for a successful pursuit. Later, the squad was guided to a convincing victory by 5 wickets by Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav.
The One Day International Cricket World Championship is known as the Cricket World Cup, or ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. The International Cricket Council, the organisation in charge of overseeing the sport, organises the event every four years, with preliminary qualification rounds preceding a finals competition. The ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 will take place in India from October 5 to November 19, 2023. There have been 12 World Cup competitions so far. Australia has won five World Cups, making it the most successful nation.
