India have already won the first match and winning this match will secure the series for them, while any loss to Australia in the upcoming 2 matches will cost them the series and might lower the injury-halted squad’s confidence.
The good news for Australia is that Glenn Maxwell is fit and you might see him running around with the team. His inclusion will definitely strengthen the line-up.
Australia, however, has had a little outlier. The five-time winners suffered their fourth straight ODI loss to India, which is uncharacteristic in a year with a World Cup. In fact, Australia rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat India 3-2 in the run-up to the 2019 World Cup. But this time around, South Africa overcame Australia 3-2 despite falling down 0-2 this time, giving Australia a taste of their own medicine.
India, on the other hand, is going through top-notch luck and performance. KL Rahul has a pressure hundred and an unbeaten captain’s half-century under his belt. Suryakumar Yadav has some runs against his name. Siraj took a six-wicket haul in the final of the Asia Cup and Shami took a 5-wicket haul in the first ODI. Overall, Team India is in good health and looking promising for the World Cup this year.
Ravichandran Ashwin ought to play again considering his strong performance in the first game. India will be hoping that Iyer and Kishan resume scoring runs. The bowlers will probably be switched around again, though. It makes sense to rest Jasprit Bumrah and play Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami in Indore with just two days between ODIs.

Some exceptional innings have been scored at Indore, notably Rohit Sharma’s insane 36-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2018 and Virender Sehwag’s once-highest ODI score of 219 in 2011, 250+ T20I scores and 400+ ODI scores.
