Some of the senior players have been rested from the first two ODIs and KL Rahul will lead the way as the captain. Everyone is confused as to who will play as the opener for Team India. With Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan there is Ruturaj Gaikwad, so it remains to be seen who will get the position.

So it is not clear whether Shreyas Iyer is fit or not. Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin has returned to Team India through this series. That means Ashwin was not selected for the Asia Cup tournament. It is special to be selected for Australia series now.

So this series is very important for everyone. Looking at the potential team, Gill, Kishan will play as opener. Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul may appear later. Tilak Verma or Washington Sundar who needs to see the place. Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, R. Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are likely to feature in the playing squad.

In this match, Australia’s leading pacer Mitchell Starc will not playing. Also, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will also be unavailable for the first match. Even so, Australian team is strong . David Warner, Mitchell Marsh will play as openers for Aussies. Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green are the backbone of the middle order. Alex Carey, Marnus Stoinis are also there. Sean Abbott, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa are the important bowlers.

India vs Australia 1st ODI Mohali Pitch:

The Punjab Cricket Association pitch is greener than the grounds in other cities of the country. Thus fast bowlers can expect more help from this pitch. Also the bounce is likely to help the pacers. In the last five ODIs played at the Mohali Stadium, the team batting first has won only one match. In the remaining four matches, the team that bowled first won. A good option is for the captain who wins the toss to choose to bowl first.
