IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: In the vibrant city of Rajkot, the cricket atmosphere is electric as India and Australia face off in the last match of their 3-game ODI series. With the Australian skipper calling correctly at the toss and choosing to bat, the crowd is buzzing with anticipation for a high-scoring match.
It was during this toss that Rohit Sharma, donning the captain’s hat for the Indian side, made a revelation that caught many by surprise. Promising young cricketers like Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill, alongside the ever-versatile Shardul Thakur and the spin maestro, Ravichandran Ashwin, are absent from the playing eleven for this crucial game.
So, who are taking the field for India in this deciding match?
IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: Leading the team, Rohit Sharma will open, and with the likes of the prolific Virat Kohli and the consistent Shreyas Iyer in the ranks, the middle order looks solid. KL Rahul, an adaptable batsman, will be behind the stumps, ensuring that the wicketkeeping duties are in safe hands. Suryakumar Yadav, known for his innovative stroke play, is expected to light up Rajkot with his flair.
The all-rounder slot sees Ravindra Jadeja, a player who has delivered with both bat and ball in clutch situations. Accompanying him, Washington Sundar’s ability to tie up the opposition with his off-spin and provide handy runs lower down the order makes him a valuable asset.
IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: Captain Rohit Sharma while talking at the time of toss said that Yaha Paristhitiya Kafi Baehtar Hae, Aur Aaj Ka Mausam Bhi Baehtar Hae. Esliye Ishan Kishan Aur Ravichandra Ashwin Ko Bracke Lena Mansik Rup Se Kafi Baehtar Mana Jata Hae.
Talking further about the pitch he said that Pich Bhi Kafi Sukhi Huee Hae Aur Es Match me Virat kohli aur kuldeep yadav bhi vapas aaye hae. esliye aaj ke es match me ravichandra ashwin team ka hissa nahi honge. vahi eske jagah team me washigatan sundar ko khilaya jayega.
IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: The spin department, minus Ashwin, will rely on Kuldeep Yadav’s wrist spin to deceive the Australian batsmen. On the pace front, Jasprit Bumrah, with his unplayable yorkers, will spearhead the attack. Assisting him are Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, both having proven their mettle in international cricket.
All eyes will now be on this chosen XI to see if Rohit Sharma’s tactical decisions pay dividends in this series decider. The crowd in Rajkot, as well as millions worldwide, wait with bated breath for the action to unfold.
