New Delhi: Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav will return to the India-Australia third ODI squad. While Rohit, Kohli, Hardik and Kuldeep were rested in the first two matches, Bumrak was rested in the second match as part of the team’s rotation policy. Opener Shubman Gill and all-rounder Shardul Thakur are likely to be rested when all five join the squad for the third ODI on Wednesday.
Having won the first two matches, India is aiming for a complete win against Australia. The team’s aim is to correct the history that India has not yet ‘whitewashed’ Aussies in ODIs. With this, India will be able to confidently face Australia in the World Cup match on October 8.
All-rounder Axar Patel, who was injured during the Asia Cup final, will not be in the team tomorrow. The team management said that the player’s injury is not serious and it is expected that he will play in the World Cup warm-up match. Rituraj Gaekwad and Mukesh Kumar, who were part of the Asian Games squad, have also been left out of the squad for the third ODI.
