Cricket enthusiasts are in for a treat as India and Australia face off in a thrilling ODI series in 2023. This series not only promises exciting cricket but also serves as a final dress rehearsal for both teams before the upcoming World Cup. With some key players resting, the series offers an excellent opportunity for evaluating bench strength.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, the formidable Virat Kohli, lead spinner Kuldeep Yadav, and premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya are resting for the first two games. This gives head coach Rahul Dravid a final chance to assess the team’s depth.
On the Australian side, despite losing 2-3 to South Africa recently, the team displayed quality cricket. However, the ongoing injury concerns of skipper Pat Cummins continue to be a point of discussion. The series will also test Australia’s bowling attack on sub-continent pitches known for being flat.
Here are the details for the first ODI match between India and Australia:
