Hilarious Reaction From Mitchell Marsh After Consuming Energy Gel During AUS vs IND 1st ODI [WATCH]

In a game which was interrupted by rain multiple times, Australia managed to beat India by seven wickets. Mitchell Marsh was the hero of the chase, staying unbeaten on 46 off 52 deliveries, playing a knock which was against his nature. However, the highlight of the match was not his innings, but something which took place in the middle of it.

Australia needed 29 runs off 54 deliveries when the Australia skipper started cramping up and was in some discomfort. Soon, Marnus Labuschagne and a teammate helped their skipper with refreshments. Among those was an energy gel.

As soon as Marsh gulped it down, he was seen making strange faces to indicate that the gel had a weird taste. He also asked his teammates, “What’s in that?” with a disgusted look on his face. The commentators could not control their laughter, and it turned out to be an entertaining scene.

Later at the presentation ceremony, the 33-year-old Aussie revealed that though the taste of the gel was not good, it helped him with his cramps.

Mitchell Marsh Opens Up About Australia’s Road Ahead

Though the hosts have started wonderfully against the Men in Blue in Perth, they have a steep road to climb as far as the 50-over format is concerned. Like any other team, the Men in Yellow have not played a lot of ODI cricket in the recent past. They lost the series against South Africa 2-1, but smashed out of the park in the last ODI.

The retirements of players Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell have affected the balance of the side. To add to that, wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey is committed to Sheffield Shield duties, and all-rounder Cameron Green is sidelined due to a minor side strain. As a replacement, Marnus Labuschagne linked up with the team ahead of the Perth fixture.

There is still some time to build the core for the ODI World Cup in 2027. Though that will be achieved over a period of time, it must not be forgotten that the number of ODIs in every calendar year is reducing. However, Marsh spoke about youngsters getting chances in the format.

“Across the board in our white-ball teams over the last 12 month, we’ve seen a lot of guys get opportunities, so it always brings excitement to those guys. We just have to be really clear on their role and they will enjoy playing cricket for Australia”, voiced Marsh.
