India's ODI opener against Australia in Perth was a one-sided affair, with the top-order faltering in challenging conditions. Despite rain interruptions, KL Rahul and Axar Patel provided some resistance, but India could only manage 136 for 9. Former player Irfan Pathan highlighted batting struggles and suggested early acclimatization for future tours. The performance of Virat Kohli, the star batsman, has once again come under scrutiny as he faced difficulties in the match. Pathan's bold verdict sheds light on the pressing issue of India's batting woes, especially in overseas conditions. With the upcoming matches in the series, it will be crucial for Kohli and the team to regroup and address their challenges before it's too late.
