How often have we seen Nitin Menon?s name pop up when Virat Kohli is playing? The match official has become a villain in Kohli?s story as he has often shattered the hopes of millions of fans by terming the batter out by the narrowest of margins, which hawk-eye has shown as an ?umpire call?. The duo had their moments in the recently concluded Test series between India and Australia. But one incident between them hogged the headlines and had many in splits.?



<h2>IND vs AUS 2023: ?Main hota to pakka out tha? Virat Kohli?s hilarious dig at Nitin Menon on his umpire?s call decision for Travis Head</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6563.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2023 " class="wp-image-104402" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Virat Kohli and Nitin Menon | Image Credits: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



The Test series between India and Australia was not only a host to the staggering battle between bat and ball but also many hilarious moments on the field as well. One such among them was on the offer in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad.?



The love affair of Kohli and Menon was the hot toast of the Day 5 of the Ahmedabad Test. It was during the 35th over of Australia?s second innings when R Ashwin trapped Travis Head in Lbw and appealed for it. But umpire Nitin Menon wasn't convinced much and turned down the appeal.?



Indian skipper Rohit Sharma after a discussion with Ashwin and keeper KS Bharat opted for DRS, which showed the umpire?s call on the ball hitting the stumps. Virat Kohli, who was fielding at the first slip, wasted no time and took a cheeky dig at umpire Nitin Menon.&nbsp;



As the hawk-eye showed the umpire?s call, he piped up with a hilarious comment and said:&nbsp;"Main hota toh pakka out tha (If I was batting you would have given this an out),"&nbsp;



Here?s the video:?

Notably, Virat Kohli after getting to out umpire?s call by Menon earlier in the series surpassed the obstacle in the fourth Test. He was the highest run-getter for India in the last game as he smashed a century and ended up scoring 185 runs. He also ended the series as the second-leading run-scorer.?

While the result of the fourth Test between India and Australia ended in a draw, it was a win-win situation for the Rohit Sharma-led side as they not only won the series by the margin of 2-1. But they also qualified for the final of the World Test Championship.?

Indian batter Virat Kohli has been one of the finest batters going around in the world cricket. The 34-year-old arguably has taken the cricketing world by storm ever since he made his debut for India. The batter has etched his name in almost every record book related to batting and it?s fair to say that words aren?t enough to describe his contribution to Indian cricket.&nbsp;



The owner of the 75 international tons is still going strong and breaking numerous records along with way. He has set a different benchmark and with the way he is going, the day isn?t far when he will break two major batting records of the great Sachin Tendulkar i.e most runs and centuries in international cricket.



<h2>Virat Kohli sets the stage on fire with his 185-run knock against Australia in Ahmedabad Test&nbsp;</h2>

Virat Kohli finally ended his century drought in Test cricket after more than three years. It wasn?t that the batter was out of form but he failed to convert the starts that he got. But the fourth Test against <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> in Ahmedabad was the testimony of his grit, calibre as a batter and greatness.?



Kohli showed extreme patience and resilience as he took full advantage of the good batting conditions and gave his fans, what they were eagerly waiting for since the last 3 years. The right-hander played a staggering inning and brought up his 28th Test century and 75th in international cricket.

Despite being sick, Kohli crafted the innings brilliantly and put in the hard yards. He was left unfazed by the hot and humid conditions and he played his best Test knock against Australia. India?s No.4 ended up with 185 runs, which helped his side gain a strong position in the game and eventually draw the match.?

2 records that Virat Kohli broke after his marathon 185-run knock against Australia in Ahmedabad Test

2-records-that-virat-kohli-broke-after-his-marathon-185-run-knock-against-australia-in-ahmedabad-test

IND vs AUS 2023: After one month of enthralling Test cricket between India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a>, it?s time for the white-ball series between the two cricketing heavyweights. The Rohit Sharma-led side pounded the visitors by the margin of 2-1 in the Test series and would be hoping for the same result in the ODIs as well.?



The three-match series between India and Australia will kick-start from 17th March. The first game will be played in Mumbai whereas the second and third match is slated to take place in Visakhapatnam and Chennai on the 19th and 22nd March respectively. It?ll be an ideal preparation for both teams considering the Cricket World Cup 2023, which will take place later this year.&nbsp;



<h2>IND vs AUS 2023: Rohit Sharma to miss the first ODI due to marriage of brother-in-law</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6662.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-104573" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharm: Image Credits: ICC </figcaption></figure>



Indian skipper Rohit Sharma made himself unavailable for the first ODI against Australia. When the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the 50-over series, they mentioned that the opening batter will join the second squad from the second game and in his absence, Hardik Pandya will captain the team.?



Although the governing body mentioned that Rohit will be unavailable due to family reasons, but there were many speculations about the same. Many fans were left disappointed as they wanted to see the Indian skipper playing in front of his home crowd in Mumbai.?



Now the reason behind Rohit missing the first ODI against Australia has finally been revealed. The right-hander?s brother-in-law is getting married and the date of that function is clashing with that of the opening encounter against Australia.?Therefore he requested BCCI for a leave.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1635896522922393600?s=20
</div></figure>



Rohit?s absence will be a blessing in disguise for the young opener Ishan Kishan. The southpaw after smashing a double century in the ODI against Bangladesh didn?t get the desired opportunity. He played in the middle order against New Zealand but couldn?t set the stage on fire. Therefore, it?ll be a great chance for him to make his case strong in the Indian side.?

<h2>IND vs AUS 2023: Probable Indian Playing 11 for the first ODI against Australia&nbsp;</h2>

Shubman Gill is likely to open the innings alongside Ishan Kishan in the first ODI against Australia in Mumbai. There?s no brainer that Virat Kohli will bat at No.3 but there might be a change at No.4. Shreyas Iyer has reportedly been ruled out of the series due to injury and it is expected that Suryakumar Yadav will be there at No.4.?



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BluntIndianGal/status/1635169298405818369?s=20
</div></figure>



KL Rahul is likely to be the wicket-keeper and retain his spot at No.5 whereas Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are likely to be three all-rounders. The team will have a lot of headaches related to the selection of the second spinner along with Ravindra Jadeja, but Kuldeep Yadav because of his performances of late wins our vote. The pace department will be boosted by Mohammad Shami and Mohammed Siraj. 



Here's probable Indian playing 11 for the first ODI against Australia: 



Ishan Kishan? Shubman Gill? Virat Kohli Suryakumar Yadav? KL Rahul (WK)? Hardik Pandya (C)? Ravindra Jadeja? Shardul Thakur? Kuldeep Yadav? Mohammad Shami? Mohammed Siraj?

India vs Australia: The focus from the Test series has now shifted to the ODIs between India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a>. The two cricketing giants will take on each other in the three-match series. It will be a great opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their skills and cover all their bases before the Cricket World Cup 2023, which will take place in India later this year.?



The result in the Test series went in favour of the hosts and they would want to achieve the same feat in the white-ball series as well. On the other hand, the visitors are the only team that has thumped India in the home ODI series since 2019 and they would want to script history again.&nbsp;



The ODI series between India and Australia will kick-start from 17th March. The first game will be played in Mumbai whereas the second and third match is slated to take place in Visakhapatnam and Chennai on the 19th and 22nd March respectively.&nbsp;

The first game of the ODI series between India and Australia is around the corner. There are many speculations about what combination will the hosts opt for and who will play in the absence of skipper Rohit Sharma at the top. Many fans and pundits have had their say about the same and the latest to join the bandwagon is former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer.?



The Ranji Trophy Legend picked Ishan Kishan as the opener alongside Shubman Gill for the first game against Australia. He also backed the left-hander to be the keeper as well. At 3, there were no surprises as he picked Virat Kohli.?

In the absence of Shreyas Iyer, who has been ruled out of the series due to a back injury, Jaffer backed Suryakumar Yadav to? bat at No.4. KL Rahul, who has done a staggering job at No.5 for India in ODIs, has retained his place in the team in the middle order in former Indian cricketer's team.



Jaffer then slotted skipper Hardik Pandya at No.6. The all-rounder is likely to play a huge role for the team with both bat and ball. What came as a surprise was he picked three spinners in Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav. He also picked just two front-line pacers in the team in Mohammed Siraj and Mohammad Shami.?



Here?s Wasim Jaffer?s Indian XI for the first ODI against Australia:&nbsp;



Shubman Gill? Ishan Kishan (WK)? Virat Kohli? Suryakumar Yadav KL Rahul? Hardik Pandya (C)? Ravindra Jadeja? Washington Sundar? Kuldeep Yadav? Mohammed Siraj? Mohammad Shami?

Records related to batting and Virat Kohli?s name not being there isn?t something one is familiar with. Such is the calibre of the batter that he has etched his name in almost every batting record. Standing tall on the reputation of ?Greatest Batters in the World?, Kohli has taken the cricketing world by storm ever since he made his debut for India.?



The right-hander has set a high benchmark for him and it?s fair to say that among all formats he?s a different type of beast in the ODIs. The 34-year-old averages over 57 in the 50-over format, which speaks volumes about his standards as a batter. Kohli also has 46 tons in this format to go with 12809 runs to his name.?



<h2>3 records that Virat Kohli can break during the ODI series against Australia</h2>

India is hosting <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> for the three-match series. The first game is taking place in Mumbai on Friday (17th March), which will be followed by the second and third game to be played on 19th and 22nd March in Visakhapatnam and Chennai respectively.?



It?s fair to say that Virat Kohli will be the hot soup of the series as a majority of the limelight will be on him. After having three average years as an international cricketer, the 34-year-old has returned back to form and has started to score runs, half-centuries and centuries again.&nbsp;



Whenever he bats there?s always excitement going on and it?ll be nothing less this around in the ODI series against Australia. The batter is on the verge of breaking another three records in the 50-over format and it?s fair to say that if he bats to the potential, he can break them easily.?

Kohli is just 191 runs away from 13,000 ODI runs. With three-ODIs against Australia on frey, he can easily break that record. However, even if he scores only 191 runs in the next 58 innings, he will become the fastest to achieve the feat in the ODIs



Kohli is also two centuries away from breaking Sachin Tendulkar?s record of most hundreds against Australia. He currently has 7 tons against the five-time world champions and even if he scores one century, he will equal the batting great?s record.&nbsp;



Also, if he smashes three tons in the series, he will equal Tendulkar?s record of most centuries in ODI cricket. The batter currently has 46 hundreds and is just a few tons away from scripting history.&nbsp;

Virat Kohli is an absolute beast when it comes to the ODIs against Australia. The batter has scored truckloads of runs against them. In 41 innings so far, the 34-year-old has amassed 2083 runs at a staggering average of 54.8. Apart from this, he also has smashed 8 centuries and 10 half-centuries against this opposition.?

India vs Australia: Indian team carried the confidence of the Test series into the ODIs as they produced a staggering effort with the ball in the first game of the three-match series in Mumbai. The first game between India and Australia is underway and the Hardik Pandya-led side made a mockery of the opposition in the first innings.&nbsp;



India won the toss and opted to bowl first, on a pitch which seemed a good batting track. <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> took advantage of a good batting surface and had a rollicking start despite Travis Head walking back to the pavilion early. Mitchell Marsh took Indian bowlers to cleaners and smashed them all over the park for his brutal knock of 81 runs in 65 balls.



Apart from Marsh, no other Australian batter crossed the 30-run mark as Indian bowlers were on top of the game. Mohammed Siraj drew the first blood for his side as he removed Head for just 5 runs in the 2nd over. After that Steve Smith tried to hold the fort but was removed by his Indian counterpart Hardik Pandya for 22 runs.&nbsp;

The Indian bowlers then gained momentum and bowled some impeccable lines and lengths to keep things tight and put Australia under immense pressure. Mohammad Shami then was on the roll as he sent the stumps of Australian batting cartwheeling and executed his plans sensationally well to return with the figures of 3/17.&nbsp;



His bowling effort was complimented well by other bowler as well. Apart from Shardul Thakur, every Indian bowler was among the wickets and based on the superlative bowling effort they bundled out the opposition for just 188 runs in just inside 36 overs.&nbsp;Notably, Australia lost the last 8 wickets for just 59 runs.

India vs Australia: The ODI series between India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> kick-started on a rollicking note in Mumbai. It was a low-scoring thriller that kept almost everyone on their toes and gave immense excitement to spectators. In the end, it was the Men in Blue, who stood tall and soaked in all the pressure to win the game by 5 wickets and take a 1-0 lead in the series.?



Based on the sensational bowling performance by Mohammad Shami, India, who opted to bowl, bundled out Australia for just 188 runs. It seemed that it?ll be piece of cake for the hosts to chase the target. But Mitchell Starc was at his absolute best and reduced India to 39/4. After that, it was all about KL Rahul, who smashed a staggering half-century, and along with Ravindra Jadeja bailed his side out of trouble and guided them home.&nbsp;



<h2>India vs Australia: 2 changes that India might make for the second ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam</h2>

After India?s staggering win in the first game, the focus now moves towards the second game of the series which will be played on Sunday (19th March) in Visakhapatnam. The hosts would be hoping for the same result and would want to seal the series in the second game itself. There were a few areas of concern for them in the opening game and there?s no doubt that they will rectify them in the second game. Based on a few areas, we take a look at two changes that India can make for the second ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam.?



1. Rohit Sharma in place of Ishan Kishan 



Indian skipper Rohit Sharma missed the first game due to family reasons. He, however, will be back for the second match and it?s a no brainier that he will walk straight into the playing XI. But the question remains who the right-hander will replace in the side from the lineup of the first game? It?s fair to say that Shubman Gill has cemented his place in the team on the back of his terrific performances and team no doubt will give him a longer rope. Therefore the only option that remains is Ishan Kishan. The southpaw too struck a double century in ODIs recently but after that, he hasn?t looked promising. He struggled to get going in the first match as well as he scored just 3 runs. So, Rohit Sharma replacing Ishan Kishan will be one change that can be on the cards.?

2. Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav?



Considering the batting collapse in the first game, India might look to strengthen their batting and add Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav. The leg-spinner bowled decently in the first game as he conceded 48 runs and took 1 wicket as well. But he was taken to the cleaners by Mitchell Marsh in the initial part of the innings. With Vizag ground being known for producing belters, the hosts can rest Kuldeep and can bring Sundar. The all-rounder has been blowing exceptionally well and has been handy with the bat down the order as well. Therefore Sundar coming in place of Kuldeep could be another change that India might look to make for the upcoming game.

India vs Australia: Apart from these two changes, India is unlikely to make a change to their XI. Here?s the probable Indian playing XI for the second ODI.?



Shubman Gill? Rohit Sharma (C)? Virat Kohli? Suryakumar Yadav KL Rahul (wk) Hardik Pandya (vc) Ravindra Jadeja? Washington Sundar? Shardul Thakur Mohammed Siraj? Mohammad Shami?

India vs Australia: 2 changes that India might make for the second ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam

india-vs-australia-2-changes-that-india-might-make-for-the-second-odi-against-australia-in-visakhapatnam

India vs Australia: The ODI series between India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> is underway. The series currently stands at 1-0 with the hosts in lead. The first game between the teams took place in Mumbai and it was a low-scoring thriller that saw the Men in Blue pounding the visitors by the margin of 5 wickets. The match tested a few Indian batters as well but they held their nerves and looked composed to win the game.&nbsp;



The staggering bowling performance by Mohammad Shami saw India bundling out the opposition for just 188 runs. It seemed that it?ll be piece of cake for the hosts to chase the target. But Mitchell Starc was at his absolute best and reduced India to 39/4. After that, it was all about KL Rahul, who smashed a staggering half-century, and along with Ravindra Jadeja bailed his side out of trouble and guided them home.&nbsp;



<h2>India vs Australia: Steve Smith grabs one-handed screamer to send Hardik Pandya packing in the second ODI in Visakhapatnam</h2>

The second India vs Australia ODI is currently taking place in Visakhapatnam. Australian skipper Steve Smith won the toss and put the hosts into the bat. His decision to bat first paid off as his bowlers have produced a magnificent effort and have made a mockery of the Indian batting lineup.&nbsp;



While the staggering fast bowling was on offer, there was a room for spectacular fielding show as well and it came from none other than Australia skipper Steve Smith. The right-hander plucked one of the best catches in the history of cricket and made almost everyone in the ground stand up and applaud him.&nbsp;

It was during the 10th over of the innings, when Sean Abbott bowled a seamed-up delivery that was short of a good length. The ball induced a thick outside edge off Hardik Pandya?s bat and it seemed that it would evade the first slip fielder but Smith took a screamer. He flew parallel to the ground and made a full-length dive to his right and completed a sensational catch.&nbsp;



Here?s the video:&nbsp;

<h2>India vs Australia: Micthell Starc tuns through India?s batting lineup as visitors bundle out India for just 117 runs&nbsp;</h2>

India vs Australia: Australian pacer Mitchell Starc yet again stood tall for his side and put them in a staggering position in the second ODI. The left-arm pacer made a mockery of India?s batting lineup and bagged his 9th five-wicket haul in this format.&nbsp;



He drew the first blood for his side when he removed Shubman Gill for a duck and followed it with the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj to return with the figures of 5/53. Sean Abbott and Nathan Ellis provided great support to the left-arm pacer to put India under immense pressure and bundle them out for just 117 runs.&nbsp;

</div></figure>



For India, Virat Kohli looked settled and scored 31 runs but that wasn?t enough as he went back to the hut after a start. Axar Patel struck some lusty blows in the end and scored unbeaten 29 runs but didn?t get the desired support as India was folded for a low total.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS 2023: The second game between India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> took place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. After being 1-0 down in the series, the Steve Smith-led side produced a magnificent effort with both bat and ball and crushed the hosts to win the game by 10 wickets and level the series.?



It was a performance of the highest order by the Australian cricket team as they outshined India in every department and made Sunday, a sad one for Indian fans. The win will give them great confidence, considering the Cricket World Cup 2023. They ticked almost every box right and set up the stage for the mouth-watering series decider that will take place on 22nd March in Chennai.?



<h2>IND vs AUS 2023: Mitchell Starc castles India?s batting lineup; the hosts get bundled out for just 117 runs&nbsp;</h2>

IND vs AUS 2023: It was a disappointing performance from India with the bat as they failed to get going and were bundled out for a low total. Asked to bat first, it wasn?t a fruitful start for them as they lost Shubman Gill for a duck on the third ball of the innings to Mitchell Starc.?



Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli then looked positive and played some staggering strokes but Starc broke the mini 29-run partnership as he removed the skipper for 13 runs. The left-arm pacer then continued his carnage as on the very next ball he sent Suryakumar Yadav packing for a golden duck.&nbsp;



KL Rahul, who was the hero of the last match game, was also outshined by the brilliance of Starc as he trapped him in lbw for 9 runs before Sean Abbott and Steve Smith combined to send Hardik Pandya packing for just 1 run.?

It seemed that the duo of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja would bail the team out of trouble. They stitched a short partnership as well but it too didn?t last long as both were back after starts. Axar Patel struck some lusty blows in the end and scored unbeaten 29 runs but didn?t get the desired support as India was folded for just 117 runs.?

</div></figure>



Mitchell Starc was the pick of bowlers for Australia as he picked his 9th five-wicket haul whereas Sean Abbott and Nathan Ellis combined to pick 5 wickets and made India look clueless.&nbsp;



<h2>IND vs AUS 2023: Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head took Indian pacers to the cleaners to win the match for Australia by 10 wickets&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6893.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2023 " class="wp-image-104900" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Australia | Twitter </figcaption></figure>



IND vs AUS 2023: It was expected that Indian bowlers would put on a similar kind of show as Australia did. But this didn?t happen as openers Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head took Indian pacers to the cleaners to win the match for Australia by 10 wickets.?



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

The Australian duo came out all guns blazing and smashed Indian bowlers all over the park. The bowlers looked clueless as both Marsh and Head smashed brutal half-centuries and finished the game in just 11 overs to win the match and level the series 1-1.

IND vs AUS 2023: India outclassed! Australia thumps the hosts by 10 wickets to level the series 1-1?

ind-vs-aus-2023-india-outclassed-australia-thumps-the-hosts-by-10-wickets-to-level-the-series-1-1

India vs Australia: The ongoing three-match ODI series between India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> has been a great contest between bat and ball so far. The stellar individual performances from both teams have kept fans on their toes and have given them immense joy. The series currently stands at 1-1 and it?s fair to say that two dominant performances from both teams in two games have set the stage for the enthralling decider.?



The Men in Blue dominated the series decider as they performed exceptionally well with both bat and ball to pound the opposition by 5 wickets. A staggering bowling performance saw them bundling out Australia for just 188 runs. They did struggle with the bat but KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja combined to take them home.&nbsp;



Australia then staged a dominating comeback as they outshined the hosts in all three departments and produced a superlative effort with both bat and ball to level the series. Mitchell Star?s five-wicket haul set the game for the visitors, who bundled the hosts for just 117 runs. The staggering bowling effort was complimented well by the power-hitting of Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, who struck half-centuries to seal the game by 10 wickets.&nbsp;



<h2>India vs Australia: 2 changes India might make in the series-decider third ODI against Australia in Chennai</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6784.jpg" alt="India vs Australia " class="wp-image-104763" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya | BCCI </figcaption></figure>



India vs Australia: The stage is now set for the final game of the series, which will take place in Chennai on 22nd March. The second game was a dreadful time for Indian Cricket Team on the field as they were thrashed in all three departments. With series on the line, it is expected that they will rejuvenate themselves and rectify their mistakes. As the third game of the series is just a few days away, we take a look at the 2 changes India might make in the series-decider third ODI against Australia in Chennai.?



1. Ishan Kishan in place of Suryakumar Yadav?



It?s fair to say that Suryakumar Yadav hasn?t lived up to his expectations in the ODI format. The ongoing series against Australia has been a torrid run for him. The batter has struggled in both games as he bagged golden ducks and looked clueless against the in-swinging delivery of Mitchell Starc in Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam. With him struggling to get going in the 50-over format, the team can look to replace him with Ishan Kishan. The keeper-batter played the first game and also batted in the middle over against New Zealand and therefore can be an ideal replacement for the team in the third game.?

2. Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav?



The Chennai surface is traditionally is a slow surface that offers a lot of help for the spinners and it is likely that team will continue with the combination of playing three spinners. But over the years, finger spinners have been quite effective on that surface and therefore going by the record, the team can look to bring in Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Also, the addition of the off-spinner will strengthen India?s batting, which has struggled in two games. The all-rounder has been blowing exceptionally well and has been handy with the bat down the order as well. Therefore Sundar coming in place of Kuldeep could be another change.&nbsp;



<h2>India vs Australia: Probable Indian playing XI for the third ODI&nbsp;</h2>

India vs Australia: Apart from these two changes, India is unlikely to make a change to their XI. Here?s the probable Indian playing XI for the third ODI.?
