IND vs AUS: The ODI series between India and Australia will be the best preparation for both teams ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023. Coming to the Men in Blue, it’s fair to say that the team that will be part of the tournament will be playing in the Australia series as well.
In the batting department, it’s a brainer that skipper Rohit Sharma will be there along with Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli as top-order batters. The trio will be crucial for the team in the series as well as the ICC World Cup 2023. If India needs to win both, then they will have to fire and do most of the scoring.
The middle order is expected to comprise of Shreyas Iyer, who is having issues with the back. He didn’t get the desired game game in Asia Cup 2023 and therefore it is likely that he will play in all the games. Apart from him, Suryakumar Yadav will be there along with two keeper-batters in Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul.
