Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
Match Prediction:
Though India and Australia start afresh and on level ground, it can be argued that the hosts will go into tomorrow’s contest as the favourites. Apart from having the home advantage, the Aaron Finch-led side looks the more balanced of the two on paper.
Yes, the overall structure of both teams is similar. Virat Kohli likes to rack up hundreds Down Under. But one shouldn’t forget that the contribution of individual performance in deciding the outcome of a match is not so much in ODIs as it is in T20s.
Australia boast of a fiery bowling attack, along with guys who can shift gears at will with the bat and step up with the ball in hand. This will ensure that they enter the opening match of what is primed to be a blockbuster tour as the favorites. To know more updates, keep visiting our website.
