IND vs AUS 1st ODI
In light of this, a healthy Shreyas Iyer will be back in India’s playing XI against Australia since he needs as much match time as possible. The attention will also be on Suryakumar Yadav, who has yet to find his groove in ODIs.
Mohammed Siraj, the current No. 1 ODI bowler and the Asia Cup player of the match, is most likely to sit out of the first ODI between India and Australia in favor of Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Shami.
India must make a number of choices with KL Rahul back in the captain’s chair while Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya all resting from the first two ODIs.
