India Vs Australia 2023 ODI Series Gets Underway On Friday: Full Squads, Schedule, Live Streaming For Free And All You Need To Know HERE

Newly-crowned Asia Cup 2023 champions Team India will be back on the field once again later this week, taking on former ODI World Cup champions Australia in a three-match ODI series beginning in Mohali on Friday. The series comes just weeks ahead of ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, which India will host beginning on October 5 in Ahmedabad.

Both teams will look to iron out the chinks in their armour ahead of the World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma announced the squads for the three-match ODI series on Monday evening. KL Rahul, who made an impressive comeback from thigh surgery in the Asia Cup 2023, will be leading the side in the first two ODI matches in Mohali and Indore with regular skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and injured Axar Patel given a break.

Ravindra Jadeja will be the deputy of Rahul for the first two ODI matches. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will return for the third ODI in Rajkot on September 27, in what is likely to be India’s final 15 for the Cricket World Cup 2023 as well. Axar Patel’s fitness will be judged after the first two ODIs and as a result all-rounder Washington Sundar has been picked in the squad as well.

Team India will be eyeing the No. 1 position in the ICC ODI Rankings as well heading into the World Cup. A 3-0 whitewash for Team India will help them topple Pakistan from the No. 1 position in the current rankings. Australia can also become the world No. 1 ODI team if they can whitewash India 3-0.

While India are coming into this series with the Asia Cup 2023 title to their name, Australia have lost three ODI matches on the trot to South Africa to lose the five-match ODI series 2-3.
