Series: Australia tour of India, 2023

India vs Australia, 1st ODI 17th march afternoon one Thirty Pm

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

India will be captained by Hardik Pandya, who will be in standing in for Rohit Sharma. Nagpur-born Rohit won’t be a part of the series opener due to personal reasons. Ishan Kishan is most likely to open
the batting alongside Shubman Gill, who is going through a purple patch in his career.

Virat Kohli was impressive in the ODIs against Sri Lanka, where he scored two hundreds, but had a dip in form in the series against New Zealand. Kohli, however, will be high on
confidence after scoring 186 in the fourth and final Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

As far as the Aussies are concerned, they will be captained by Steve Smith in the absence of Pat Cummins. David Warner has also recovered from his elbow injury and is set to take the field.
Glenn Maxwell is also making a comeback after recovering from an injury that he sustained during the T20 World Cup.

Pitch Report
The pitch in Mumbai is generally known to be a bowler’s graveyard. Batters can play their shots on the up without any fear. A high-scoring match seems to be in store.
Fielding first after winning the toss should be the way to go.
