Mumbai: The series of three ODIs is starting from today between the world’s No. 1 ODI International team India and No. 2 team Australia. It will also be an opportunity for both the teams to assess their preparations ahead of the ODI World Cup to be held in India later this year. Team India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma is not available for this match due to personal reasons. In such a situation, the caretaker captain Hardik Pandya will also be eyed.

Hardik has done better as captain in T20 International. But his test is yet to come in this format. India has generally performed well in bilateral series in home and away conditions, but has been a regular failure in ICC tournaments for nearly a decade. Hardik said that the team has not tried anything new to change the trend and their focus is on learning from bilateral matches. He said, ‘I don’t think we have tried anything new. We’ll try to show some spirit. I think we have done very well in the last few series.

Shubman Gill will get a new partner
The Indian team has started this year on a fine note by winning all six matches in the ODI format in two separate series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. In these six matches, Shubman Gill has scored 567 runs with three centuries and an average of 113.40. In the absence of Rohit in the first match, he will be under pressure to get the team off to a good start. A similar performance will be expected from him after his Test hundred against Australia in the fourth and final match at Ahmedabad. Ishaan Kishan will open the innings with Gill in this match. Talking about the opening pair on the eve of the match, Hardik said, ‘Shubman and Ishaan will open the innings. The pitch here looks the same throughout the year. I have been playing here for almost seven years. This pitch will be challenging as it will give equal opportunities to both the teams.

Challenge of Virat Kohli
Kohli, who scored an innings of 186 in the Test in Ahmedabad, has already put the poor limited overs form behind him. He has scored 338 runs this year at an impressive average of 67.60 and will be looking to take his tally of 75 international centuries against favorite rivals Australia. It will be interesting to see how Kohli copes with Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa during this period. Zampa’s record against the Indian run machine has been impressive.


‘Kulcha’ will get a chance!
Kuldeep Yadav and Income Tax Inspector in Haryana Government Yuzvendra Chahal bowled together during an optional practice session on Wednesday. Fondly known as ‘Kulcha’, the pair can prove to be a vital weapon in the Indian attack in limited overs cricket for their wicket-taking ability. However, it has to be seen whether he gets a chance or he has to sit on the bench. Kuldeep has been India’s best spinner this year with 11 wickets in five matches, while among the fast bowlers, Mohammad Siraj has taken 14 wickets in the same number of matches.

Why Smith’s team can be heavy
Australia’s team has the ability to win the match under any circumstances despite the absence of regular captain Pat Cummins. Five-time World Cup winner Australia also wants to finalize its preparations for the World Cup to be held in October-November this year. Steve Smith will lead Australia in Cummins’ absence. Smith has good experience of captaining in this format. The team did well under his captaincy in the last two Test matches. His team will have high hopes from Smith in batting as well.

many players will return
This will be the first ODI of this year for the Australian team. Many of his players will return from injury. Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are not available for this ODI series, but experienced opener David Warner and all-rounder Ashton Agar have joined the national team. Both these players returned home during the Test series. Warner was injured. All-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh would also like to do well on their return from injury. When asked about Warner on the eve of the match, Marsh said, “He is coming back from his elbow injury, but till he is 100 per cent fit, there will be no rush to include him in the team.” Warner also suffered a minor injury during practice here when the ball took an inside edge and hit his thigh. It has to be seen whether Warner opens in the first ODI or not.
