In the first ODI match against Australia, Team India suffered a loss by seven wickets at the Optus Stadium in Perth

With this, Gill became the second Indian captain after Virat Kohli, and ninth overall, to lose their first matches in all three formats as skipper

Last year, after India's ICC T20 World Cup win, Gill captained Team India for a five-match T20I tour to Zimbabwe, wearing the national captaincy armband for the first time. The youngster started off with a 13-run loss to Zimbabwe while chasing 116, though India won the series 4-1

This year, when Gill was handed the Test captaincy following the retirements of legends Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin, the 26-year-old cricketer started the five-match tour to England with a five-wicket loss at Leeds

The "Men in Blue" will clash against the Aussies in the second ODI match on October 23 at the Adelaide Oval
