Indore, India : LIVE Updates | IND VS AUS, 2nd ODI : Shreyas Iyer, who missed scoring runs on a flat wicket in Mohali, will try to add some runs in the second ODI cricket match against Australia to be held in Indore today. Meanwhile, spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will also be desperate to take wickets in the middle overs.
The match will be held today at 1:30 pm in Indore
Playing without some key players including captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the Indian team had registered a comfortable win in the first ODI against Australia. Now the Indian team will try to win the series at Holkar Stadium, famous for big scores.
Due to rain, the temperature of the city has dropped and the players facing the humid heat in Mohali must have got a lot of relief by coming here. There is a possibility of rain in Indore also
The performance of Mohammed Shami and Suryakumar Yadav especially in the first ODI has been a positive aspect for India but some questions are still looking for answers before the World Cup starting from October 5.
Eyes on Iyer and Ashwin
India’s number four batsman Shreyas Iyer, who returned after recovering from injury, has not been able to spend enough games at the crease due to various reasons. He did not play some matches in the Asia Cup due to back stiffness, whereas in the first ODI in Mohali on Friday, he was run out after playing only 8 balls.
This right-handed batsman will try to score runs in the next two ODIs so that his morale can be boosted before the World Cup.
On the other hand, Ashwin bowled economically on his return but he could not trouble the Australian batsmen. He was unable to get turn on a flat wicket and his straight balls were played easily by the batsmen.
Shardul will have to perform well
If Akshar Patel is not fit for the right time, this star spinner can still make a place in India’s World Cup team but the team will be expecting better performance from him.
It also remains to be seen whether Washington Sundar, another off-spinner included in the Indian team, gets a chance or not. If he gets a place in Team 11, then Ashwin may have to sit out.
Indian fast bowler Shardul Thakur will also try to improve his performance. He gave away 78 runs in 10 overs in the first ODI in Mohali. His performance is not very good which can be a matter of concern for the team.
Suryakumar Yadav has played a good innings after consecutive failures in batting, which must have brought relief to both the batsman and the team management.
Both teams are as follows
India: KL Rahul (captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna. .
Australia: Pat Cummins (captain), Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Tanvir Sangha, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Josh Hazlewood, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short.
