Team India had a forgetful outing against Australia in the second ODI in Visakhapatnam after the hosts got bundled out for just 117.

It was a series to forget for Suryakumar Yadav as the talented right-hander failed to open his account in all three matches against Australia. The 32-year-old, who was given the role of a finisher in the third ODI match in Chennai, was dismissed by Ashton Agar on the very first ball and in the process, he became the first Indian cricketer in history to be dismissed for first-ball ducks in all matches of an ODI series.

India player Suryakumar Yadav is definitely not having the best of times. The batting star scored three consecutive golden ducks in India's just-concluded ODI series against Australia. While he is the top batter in the T20Is, Suryakumar is yet to establish himself in the 50-over format. He has scored 433 runs in 23 ODI matches at an average of 24.05, which is way less than the potential and class he possesses. With an unimpressive start to the ODI career, his most recent failure against Australia has put him under the scanner again.
