Team India are on the verge of a sixth consecutive loss in the ODI format, which will be the worst run for the national team in the format since 1989. However, some individual all-time records are set to be broken in the 3rd ODI vs Australia on Wednesday, even as India look to stave off a whitewash.
Kohli now has lost 5 ODIs on the trot and if he loses again on Wednesday, he will join Sunil Gavaskar as the Indian captain with the most back to back losses in ODIs. MS Dhoni, Ravi Shastri and Dilip Vengsarkar are the other Indian captains who lost 5 ODIs on the trot as captain.
India’s worst string of losses came in 1981 when they lost 8 matches on the trot, under the leadership of Sunil Gavaskar (7 matches) and Gundappa Viswanath (1 match).
Individual records
Mohammed Shami, who has 148 wickets in just 79 ODIs, could become the fastest Indian to reach the milestone of 150 ODI wickets.
He is 2 wickets away from the mark and could reach the mark in the 3rd ODI. Ajit Agarkar (97 matches) is currently the fastest Indian bowler to 150 ODI wickets
