Shubman Gill’s debut as India’s ODI captain didn’t go as he would have hoped, as he set an unwanted record against Australia. In the three-match series, he managed scores of just 10, 9, and 24, averaging 14.33 – the lowest by an Indian captain in an ODI series against Australia. This put him below MS Dhoni, who averaged 17.20 in 2016, and Sourav Ganguly, who averaged 18.60 in 2001.
