Watch: Shubman Gill Screams In Frustration After Getting Out For A Duck In 2nd ODI
Shubman Gill had a horrible start to the ODI series against Australia in Mumbai and things did not improve in the second match as he was dismissed by Mitchell Starc for a duck on Sunday. Gill was guilty of chasing a ball outside the off stump and Marnus Labuschagne completed a sharp catch at backward point to spell an unceremonious end to his innings. The young opener was visibly upset with himself for playing such a rash shot and he burst out a loud shout in anger after the dismissal.
"Not learning from his mistake, poking at a wide-ish delivery. Very similar to his dismissal in the first ODI. Doesn't time it, can't keep it down and the fielder pouches it," Murali Kartik commented.

Mitchell Starc once again turned out to be tormentor-in-chief as his five-wicket haul blew away India for a lowly 117 against Australia in the second ODI.
Starc, who had three wickets in the previous game, took 5 for 53 in eight overs, including four in his first spell as India were bowled out for their third lowest total against Australia, in just 26 overs.
With nip off the surface providing lot of help, Starc bowled ideal back-of-the-length deliveries with a couple angled across the right-handers and a few which came in after pitching.
The decisive damage was done by Starc while Sean Abbott (3/23) and Nathan Ellis (2/13) then bowled hard lengths to run through the lower-middle order in what turned out to be a disastrous day for the hosts.
Virat Kohli did hold one end up for a while with a 35-ball 31 and Axar Patel scored an entertaining unbeaten 29 studded with two sixes off Starc.
Their innings were the only bright spots for India with their batting exposed once again by swing and pace. Australia pace spearhead
