IND vs AUS, 1st ODI: Gill, Rahul in focus as Hardik leads India in Rohit’s absence in Mumbai

The final time India squared off in opposition to Australia in an ODI on the Wankhede Stadium, in January 2020, the touring aspect had a cakewalk – bagging a ten-wicket victory, with Aaron Finch and David Warner hammering unbeaten centuries.

Three years, three months and a COVID-induced pandemic later, the 2 groups are again on the identical venue for yet one more ODI. Quite a bit has modified since their final assembly – Finch has retired, India has handed on the captaincy baton to Rohit Sharma, and in addition there’s no Jasprit Bumrah.

And so as to add to India’s woes, Rohit – a real blue Mumbaikar – received’t be accessible for Friday’s ODI as a consequence of household commitments and in his absence, Hardik Pandya will step up because the chief.

Though he has been an everyday captain within the T20I set-up, this can be Pandya’s maiden task because the skipper of the ODI aspect, and his management abilities can be put to check in opposition to a high-profile and star-studded opponent.

In latest occasions, India performed a complete of six ODIs – three every in opposition to Sri Lanka and New Zealand – and got here out victorious in each event. And, thoser statistics would definitely be of their thoughts, when the Indian cricketers take the sphere.

In the absence of Rohit, the main target can be on in-form opener Shubman Gill who’s all set to open with Ishan Kishan.

Coming off a cultured Test century in Ahmedabad final week, the teen has loved super success in ODIs – 567 runs and three centuries in his final six ODIs, with a mean of 113.40. A packed Wankhede can be pinning its hopes on the right-handed batter, whereas the seasoned Virat Kohli too garnering all the eye.

Leaving behind a lean patch, Kohli amassed 338 runs in six matches at a mean of 67.60 and now with the tough patch behind him – after ending his barren run within the Test format, too, in opposition to the Aussies in Ahmedabad with a 186 – a much-relaxed Kohli could be hoping so as to add extra to the 75 tons of that he has already accrued in worldwide cricket. His duel with leggie Adam Zampa, who has dismissed him eight occasions, could be an fascinating watch.

This collection can be a chance for the struggling KL Rahul, who the crew administration indicated, can be given an extended rope as its most popular wicketkeeper-batter. Despite struggling to transform the begins and shedding his spot from the Test squad for the final two fixtures in opposition to Australia, Rahul had scores of 73, 14 and eight in Bangladesh, whereas placing up 39, 64 and seven in opposition to Sri Lanka, at No.5 within the ODIs. And, he can be hoping to search out his mojo in opposition to the mighty Aussies, who haven’t performed any ODI for the reason that starting of this yr.

The visiting crew, nevertheless, hopes to get into the groove as a preparatory floor for the ODI World Cup, to be held in India later this yr. For that, the all-rounders want to return good.

“It will be a high-scoring World Cup, you’d think if the wickets are good. From my experience, it’s nice to have options and important to have options to go to change things up and change the momentum of the batting team. More all-rounders the better,” stated Mitchell Marsh.

The Aussies will really feel the absence of their common captain Pat Cummins, who misplaced his mom final week, however can be aiming to zero in on its mixture for the World Cup, beneath the management of the much-experienced Steve Smith.

Marsh, getting back from an extended harm lay-off, is not going to be bowling within the collection, whereas for David Warner, who sustained an elbow harm throughout Test collection, it will likely be a problem to regain his misplaced contact and cement his place .

This collection provides the Aussies an opportunity to play in three totally different venues – Mumbai, Visakhapatnam and Chennai – with assorted situations, and beneath a wily Smith’s management, the crew hopes to be taught as a lot as attainable by way of dealing with the stress and assessing the situations – an expertise, they really feel, can be useful forward of the World Cup.

In the absence of Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj will look to benefit from the chance, whereas the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, who bowled in tandem within the nets, can be hoping to take care of their dominance in white-ball cricket. In the final 5 matches, Kuldeep claimed 11 wickets.

A dominant present within the just-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy has boosted the house crew’s confidence. Time to maintain the momentum going within the shorter format, too.
