India vs Australia 2019: 5 reasons that led to India's failure in the ODI series

Kohli and his men let a 2-0 lead in the series slip

#2 Losing the toss in the series decider

Kohli did not have much luck with the toss

Kohli lost the toss in the all important decider which almost affected the result of the game. He even admitted that he would have opted to bat first had he won the toss. If this game was lost partly at the toss, the previous two games had a lot to blame on the decision made after winning the toss.

We can't blame Kohli or the team management for the decision, since they expected dew to play a part in the result. Only thing that was heartening at the end of day was the words from captain Kohli who took these games as a learning curve.

About the author

When my dad gifted me a poster with the list of matches in World Cup 2003, little did I know how this game will sink in me? If my Dad became a reason for my craziness towards the gentleman game, my brother became a reason for my interest in pro-wrestling. So-called 90's kids from India does know a thing or two about fighting his brother in a bed made of pillows and experimenting a few shots of their favorite wrestlers despite the frequent ads requesting not to experiment them at home :) I have been one of those who always fought against people who called wresting a fake. I still do. And this has now slowly transitioned me to a writer who not only enjoys the sports but also shares them over to the readers like me.
