India has chance to lead 2-0
The World Cup is getting closer and time is running out. India have consistently outperformed expectations in every aspect and their success against Australia in the first ODI on Friday is further proof of this. India have a great opportunity to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the second ODI in Indore today as the series still depends on their recent performance and the result of the Mohali match.
Young players Last Chance to Shine
More importantly, it will be a chance for young players like Ravichandran Ashwin, Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav to leave a lasting impression before experienced players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav return ahead of India's final official match. This is the last chance. world Cup. Especially after losing the last game on a flat track, Shreyas wants to get back in form. As India's No. 4, Shreyas' fitness was a hot question throughout the Asia Cup and due to various reasons, he was not able to spend much time on the field. He was unable to compete in the Asia Cup due to back spasms, and an unfortunate run-out punctuated his short 8-ball stint in the middle. To boost his and his team's confidence in the international tournament, Shreyas wants to score heavily in the next two matches.
Despite improving bowling quality, Ashwin was finding it difficult to trouble the Australian batsmen on flat surfaces. He struggled to generate much spin and the opponent could easily intercept his smooth balls. If Axar Patel fails to recover in time, the World Cup-bound Indian team still has the option of including the defending champion spinner, although the 37-year-old's performances have not been up to expectations.
Even without four key players, including captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India were able to win the opening ODI comfortably. They are now in a good position to win the series at the Holkar Stadium, which is famous for hosting high-scoring games. The players will appreciate the break from the recent rains, which have brought down the temperatures after exceptionally hot and humid conditions in Mohali. While the performances of Mohammed Shami and Suryakumar Yadav in the last game were noteworthy for India, there are still some unanswered issues as the World Cup approaches in early October.
In the first game, like India, Australia was also without several key players including Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc. Captain Pat Cummins suggested that they be ready by the third match to be held in Rajkot on September 27. Australia had already won the series in India earlier this year, but on Sunday they are again in a must-win situation. Josh Inglis's innings of 45 showed potential, but the middle order will need to be more reliable.
