Meanwhile, both the players failed to get among the runs on Sunday during the opening ODI at Perth. While Rohit scored a scratchy eight runs, Kohli perished without troubling the scorers. It was an upsetting sight for the Indian fans as the much-awaited comebacks ended up being sad cameos in the first ODI. With talks of retirements doing the rounds, Rohit and Kohli would be under immense pressure to get among the runs and silence the critics.

The Adelaide Oval has been a good-hunting ground for the side and Kohli has good memories of the venue. The second ODI takes place on October 23 and India have to win it to keep the series alive.
