PLAYING XI

India possible XI: 1 Shubman Gill, 2 Shikhar Dhawan  3 Virat Kohli(C), 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul, (WK), 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9. Jasprit Bumrah, 10. T Natarajan, 11 Kuldeep Yadav

TEAM NEWS

With Warner out, Australia could switch to D'Arcy Short or Matthew Wade at the top of the rankings, or push Marnus Labuschagne to the top of the rankings (volunteer for the role) and give Cameron Greene the ODI debut. . Judging from Aaron Finch's words before the match, the first option seems more likely. Sean Abbott, who was in an excellent ball and racket condition at Sheffield Shield, appears to be ready to replace Cummins and play his first international game since 2014.

Therefore, it can open up an opportunity for someone to step in and make a statement. India has now lost five international matches in a row; the recent one against Australia by 51 runs.

POSSIBLE CHANGES

1.Shardul and Natarajan will likely have a chance if Kohli decides to put Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami to rest, who should stay fit and ready for the expensive audition series.

2. Yuzvendra Chahal was the most expensive shooter in the first two matches, with 160 runs conceded in 19 batches and only a wicket to show his efforts. Kuldeep Yadav should get a chance in ODI since he played the last match on the 5th of Feb against New Zealand 

3. Manish Pandey is also fit to play, he could also get a chance if the selectors feel that Shreyas is not ready for overseas pitches.

WINNING PREDICTION

With an experience of 242 matches; King Kohli would not let it go that easy. The possibility of a clean sweep will not be that easy. If KL's and Virat's bat starts firing then the machine gun would not stop. SO MY VOTE GOES TO INDIA
