India's First ODI Defeat to Australia
India skipper Shubman Gill remained optimistic despite his team's loss in the opening ODI against Australia on Sunday.
Gill's team showed fighting spirit after a poor start in Perth, chasing 131 in 26 overs due to revised playing conditions because of rain.
- Australia captain Mitchell Marsh remained unbeaten on 46.
- Wicketkeeper-batter Josh Philippe scored 37.
- Matthew Renshaw scored 21 not out, taking the side to victory in 21.1 overs with seven wickets in hand.
Gill acknowledged that losing three wickets inside the powerplay put India on the back foot.
Gill praised the team's effort in dragging the match deep while defending a modest total in the rain-hit encounter, which was also his first leadership assignment in the 50-over format.
