IND vs AUS 2023: India’s probable XI for the first ODI against Australia

All-Rounders: Ravindra Jadeja, Ravi Ashwin

Ravindra Jadeja’s role in the side will be futher emphasized, given Hardik Pandya is not a part of the squad. He will be expected to provide strong finishes with the bat and also chip in vital overs with the ball.

To accompany him, Ravichandran Ashwin has been called-up in the ODI squad after a gap of 21 months. The decision was taken after Axar Patel suffered a blow and was ruled out.

If Ashwin manages to impress the management in the ODI series against Australia, he might get a ticket to the World Cup. However, it won’t be easy for him as he has been out of the ODI setup for so long.
