Axar Patel has been ruled out of the third and final ODI between India and Australia to be held in Rajkot on Wednesday (September 27). The spin-bowling all-rounder,&nbsp;who's dealing with a left quadriceps strain, missed the Asia Cup 2023 final after&nbsp;getting&nbsp;injured&nbsp;during the Super Four game versus Bangladesh. However, he is expected to return for the CWC 2023 warm-up games.&nbsp;

With Axar remaining unfit, R Ashwin's hopes of entering the CWC squad has increased further. Ashwin&nbsp;made a comeback in the ODI format after a long gap during the Australia series. His last ODI appearance was in early 2022, but the wily off-spinner has claimed four wickets in two games and thus, voices continue to grow for his late inclusion.

Nonetheless, as per a report in Cricbuzz, Axar is expected to return for the World Cup warm-up games. This could put Ajit Agarkar-led BCCI selection committee&nbsp;in a serious dilemma as they have to name the final 15-player World Cup squad by September 27.

As of now, no replacement has been announced for Axar for the third and final ODI. The final encounter will see the return of regulars such as captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah whereas the likes of Shubman Gill and all-rounder Shardul Thakur have been rested.&nbsp;

<section itemprop="articleBody">
It remains to be seen if Axar retains his spot or if Ashwin will make the cut eventually. The India-Australia three&nbsp;ODIs is led by the home side after they achieved an unassailable lead with a 99-run win (DLS method) in the second game&nbsp;on Sunday (September 24) in Indore.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS Live Streaming for FREE: When & where to watch India vs Australia live for free in India

Australia’s wicketkeeper batter Josh Inglis has reflected on his stance in the current Australian side after impressing in the first ODI against India on Friday, September 22. Inglis, 28, is likely to be Australia’s second-choice wicketkeeper after Alex Carey who was rested for the opening match. Aussies lost the opening match against India by five wickets with Inglis playing a 45-run knock in Mohali. The defeat also saw Australia trail 0-1 in the three-match series with the second contest taking place on Sunday.

<h2>Inglis reflects on performance</h2>

“In the past, I have played purely as a batsman,” Inglis said.

“I quite enjoy my fielding so there’s no issue with that at all."

“I’m just trying to string some games together and put in some performances that will make them have to pick me almost.”

Inglis scored 45 runs, second-best for Australia after David Warner’s knock of 52 runs in Mohali. The Aussies scored 276 runs in 50 overs however, they were undone by a resolute Indian side who reached the target with ease. Inglis has been handy for the national side but will be lucky to feature in the World Cup having missed out on the T20 edition in 2022. He was replaced by Cameron Green in the side that time.

<h2>What happened in the match?</h2>

India’s second-string ODI squad started the three-match ODI series on a high as they got the better of Australia in Mohali on Friday, September 22. Riding on the bowling show from Mohammed Shami and Shubman Gill’s brilliant knock at the top, the Men in Blue registered a five-wicket win against Australia to go 1-0 in the series. The contest also saw Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, and Ruturaj Gaikwad star with respective fifties.

Asked to chase 277, the Indian team started with all guns blazing with Gaikwad and Gill setting a perfect platform for the middle order. The pair stitched a 142-run stand for the opening wicket before Gaikwad was dismissed on 71 off 77 deliveries. Shreyas Iyer, having seen limited chances at the Asia Cup failed to make the most of his opportunity and was dismissed for three. While Gill looked good for another hundred, he failed to capitalise on the start and was bowled by Adam Zampa for 74.

The two teams will next meet on Sunday, September 24 with India standing an opportunity to win the series. The two teams are also scheduled to meet in the third ODI on September 27, while the biggest meeting will come in the ODI World Cup. The World Cup meeting will take place on Sunday, October 8 in Chennai.

IND vs AUS: Josh Inglis reflects on rivalry with Alex Carey before WC, says 'I'm playing as pure batter'

India’s Shubman Gill has opened up his return to the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali as he lived the dream of playing an international match at the venue. Gill, representing Punjab at the domestic circuit started his playing career in the surroundings of the PCA stadium where India beat Australia in the first ODI on Friday, September 22. This was Gill’s first international match at the venue having started his young career representing Punjab.

<h2>Gill opens up on dream return</h2>

“I was 7 years old when we came to Mohali for the first time. Since I had seen so many matches here as a spectator, it was a dream for me to play an international match in Mohali. I'd played a couple of IPL matches but to play an international match with my family watching was special,” said Gill in the post-match on Friday.

The sensational youngster has been in top form in 2023 having scored six international hundreds and three IPL hundreds. He was on course for another ton on Friday, before he was dismissed by Adam Zampa on 74. His innings consisted of 6 fours and a couple of sixes while striking at a rate of more than 100. His impressive opening stand with Ruturaj Gaikwad (71) was the feature of the innings as they stitched a 142-run stand for the opening wicket.

Both batters laid the foundation for the Indian innings as the hosts won the opening OPDI in Mohali by five wickets. India were tasked to chase 277 runs, with skipper KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav also hitting fifties in a one-sided run chase.

Gill recently recorded 58 against Pakistan in the Super Four contest of the Asia Cup and will be an ace card for Team India during the ODI World Cup next month. India will take on Australia in the second ODI on Sunday, September 24 in Indore with an opportunity to seal the series 2-0 with a win.

IND vs AUS: Shubman Gill opens up on return to Mohali, says 'it was a dream to play an international match'

Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif was full of praise for star pacer Mohammed Shami as he made a statement on Friday, September 23 against Australia in the first ODI in Mohali. Shami, having been dropped during the Asia Cup, scalped five wickets against the Aussies to send a stern message to the team management. With the rise of Mohammed Siraj and the return of Jasprit Bumrah, Shami was forced to sit out during the rotation plans implemented by the team management.

“Mohammed Shami is easily the world’s most underrated pacer. To me he is a World Cup hero. Bhai ko halke mein mat lena. Congrats on fifer,” Kaif wrote on ‘X’.

The 33-year-old has been eccentric to India’s success during the recent years but has found limited opportunities in the last two series as he resides down the pecking order of bowlers. Currently, Bumrah and Siraj remain top options while Shardul Thakur’s all-rounder ability sees him get the nod as an extra pacer. Shami, therefore had to sit out of the Asia Cup group stage game despite possessing impressive figures.

<h2>Shami at fluent best</h2>

On Friday he was at his fluent best yet again for Team India as they beat Australia by five wickets in Mohali. He was rewarded with the Player of the Match award having ended with figures of 51/4 in 10 overs. His good performance has now given a good headache to the team management as Siraj was rested for the series. Upon his return, there will be competition for places on the team.

He will now have the opportunity to stamp his authority in the Playing XI as he will be expected to start in Sunday’s second match in Indore. A win for India will see them pocket the series 2-0, having already taken a 1-0 lead. Siraj will be expected to return to the Playing XI in the final ODI in Rajkot. He is currently rested to avoid fatigue and injury issues in build-up to the ODI World Cup.

Alongside Siraj, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya are also rested for the first two ODIs against Australia. India will start their World Cup campaign in the warm-up match on Saturday, September 30 while they will again face Australia in their first match of the main tournament on Sunday, October 8.

IND vs AUS: Former cricketer in awe of Mohammed Shami after impressive show, says 'most underrated pacer'

The Indian cricket team on Friday, September 22 scripted history after their one-sided win against Australia in Mohali. The five-wicket win saw the Men in Blue become the second nation to go top of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Rankings in all three formats of cricket. The win in Mohali saw them leapfrog Pakistan to 116 rating points and achieve the top spot, thus meaning India are now No.1 in the ODI, T20I, and Test rankings.

<h2>India script history</h2>

Starting the day level with Pakistan in the ICC ODI Rankings, India needed a win to leapfrog their arch-rivals. India beat Australia in the Mohali contest to achieve the feat, having already topped the standings in T20I and Test rankings. Alongside Australia and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma’s Team India are the only team to play in all the ICC finals at the senior level. They can now improve on their rating points with two more matches against Australia before facing England in the ODI World Cup warm-up match on Saturday, September 30.

<h2>What happened in the match?</h2>

India’s second-string ODI squad started the three-match ODI series on a high as they got the better of Australia in Mohali on Friday, September 22. Riding on the good bowling show from Mohammed Shami and Shubman Gill’s brilliant knock at the top, the Men in Blue registered a five-wicket win against Australia to go 1-0 in the series. The contest also saw Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, and Ruturaj Gaikwad star with respective fifties.

Asked to chase 277, the Indian team started with all guns blazing as Gaikwad and Gill set a perfect platform for the middle order. The pair stitched a 142-run stand for the opening wicket before Gaikwad was dismissed on 71 off 77 deliveries. Shreyas Iyer, having seen limited chances at the Asia Cup failed to make the most of his opportunity and was dismissed for three. While Gill looked good for another hundred, he failed to capitalise on the start and was bowled by Adam Zampa for 74.

The two teams will next meet on Sunday, September 24 with India standing an opportunity to win the series.

Team India script history in ICC Rankings, become second nation to register THIS rare feat

India’s second-string ODI squad started the three-match ODI series&nbsp;on a high as they got the better of Australia in Mohali on Friday, September 22. Riding on a good bowling show from Mohammed Shami and Shubman Gill’s brilliant knock at the top, the Men in Blue registered a five-wicket win against Australia to go 1-0 in the series. The contest also saw Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, and Ruturaj Gaikwad star with respective fifties.

<h2>India start on high</h2>

Asked to chase 277, the Indian team started with all guns blazing as Gaikwad and Gill set a perfect platform for the middle order. The pair stitched a 142-run stand for the opening wicket before Gaikwad was dismissed on 71 off 77 deliveries. Shreyas Iyer, having seen limited chances at the Asia Cup failed to make the most of his opportunity and was dismissed for three. While Gill looked good for another hundred, he failed to capitalise on the start and was bowled by Adam Zampa for 74.

However, the quick wickets did not open any doors for Australia as stand-in skipper KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav (50) put in an impressive 80 runs for the fifth wicket. Suryakumar was dismissed immediately after getting to his fifty while Rahul hit the winning runs as he remained unbeaten on 58. His six secured the match for India in an impressive one-sided chase for the hosts.

For Australia, Zampa scalped two wickets while Pat Cummins and Sean Abbott ended with one wicket each.

<h2>Shami impresses with ball</h2>

Earlier, Mohammed Shami was the centre of attraction for India with the ball as he scalped five wickets. Shami was the pick of bowlers as he picked wickets at regular intervals while Australia got off to a decent start. David Warner was the highest scorer for Australia with 52 runs while there were starts for Steven Smith (39) and Josh Inglis (45). They managed to score 276 in the 50 overs, losing all ten wickets. There were wickets a piece for Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur, and Ravichandran Ashwin. The latter was making his first appearance in ODIs on home turf since 2017 and first overall since 2021.&nbsp;

The two teams will next meet on Sunday, September 24 with India standing an opportunity to win the series. The two teams are also scheduled to meet in the third ODI on September 27, while the biggest meeting will come in the ODI World Cup.

IND vs AUS ODI series Full Schedule: India vs Australia date, time, venue, squad and live Streaming details

Jasprit Bumrah made an international comeback after 11 months during the Ireland T20Is in Dublin last month. His comeback was eagerly waited as India is gearing up for the ODI World Cup at home, which kicks off on October 05. Having suffered from back issues, Bumrah missed the entire T20 World Cup last year,&nbsp;the Bangladesh tour, Australia home series, WTC final and IPL 2023. However, he looked in fine form during the Ireland series.

Bumrah ended the Ireland T20Is with four wickets from two games to end with the Player-of-the-Series award. Following this, the 29-year-old was right on the money with the ball in the Asia Cup 2023 edition as well. He ended with four wickets in as many matches at an average of 17.75. He made the ball move in the early overs and kept it tight to account for key wickets in India's title run. Now, the speedster is involved in India's three ODIs, at home, versus Australia with the series opener on Friday (September 22) in Mohali.

Ahead of KL Rahul-led India's Mohali ODI versus Pat Cummins &amp; Co., Suresh Raina -- India's former all-rounder and 2011 World Cup winner -- heaped praise on Bumrah and feels the pacer has worked on his run-up and increased it as well. In addition, he feels Bumrah is close to returning to his very best with the CWC 2023 edition only few weeks away.&nbsp;

Speaking on JioCinema, Raina said, "He has just bowled about 5 or 6 overs till now. Rohit Sharma is with him and monitoring how effective he can be with the new ball. If we want to dismiss Australia's top order, we have Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah for that. The line and speed with which he's bowling, it's swinging fully round the wicket. Even in his run-up, you can see, he has increased it a little bit, but the swing in his finishing line is praiseworthy. He's worked very hard especially with his injuries to his back and knee, after his run-up, the extra four or five yards he's getting for recovery, his speed and swing have come back. "

He added, "The quickness he's gotten with the length of his deliveries is very important. Australia's batting lineup is strong, but they'll prioritize eating up Bumrah's overs because he maintains his pace of 140-145. We can see that he has worked really hard and is enjoying it. It looks like he's about to become 'Boom Boom Bumrah' once again."

India:

For First two ODIs: KL Rahul (C &amp; WK), Ravindra Jadeja (Vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.

For third and final ODI: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya, (Vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel (if fit), Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj.

Also read: India vs Australia: Rahul Dravid reveals why Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are rested for first two ODIs Speaking on JioCinema, Raina said, "He has just bowled about 5 or 6 overs till now. Rohit Sharma is with him and monitoring how effective he can be with the new ball. If we want to dismiss Australia's top order, we have Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah for that. The line and speed with which he's bowling, it's swinging fully round the wicket. Even in his run-up, you can see, he has increased it a little bit, but the swing in his finishing line is praiseworthy. He's worked very hard especially with his injuries to his back and knee, after his run-up, the extra four or five yards he's getting for recovery, his speed and swing have come back. " He added, "The quickness he's gotten with the length of his deliveries is very important. Australia's batting lineup is strong, but they'll prioritize eating up Bumrah's overs because he maintains his pace of 140-145. We can see that he has worked really hard and is enjoying it. It looks like he's about to become 'Boom Boom Bumrah' once again." India: For First two ODIs: KL Rahul (C & WK), Ravindra Jadeja (Vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna. For third and final ODI: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya, (Vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel (if fit), Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.

Ind vs Aus: 'Looks like he is about to...' - Suresh Raina all praise for Jasprit Bumrah ahead of 1st ODI

India will take on Australia in the series opener of the three ODIs on Friday (September 22) at the IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. India will be without regular captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Hardik Pandya, hence, KL Rahul will take charge of the national side for the first two games. The home side will rely on Mohammed Siraj, their in-form pacer who wreaked havoc in the Asia Cup final with 6 for 21, versus Pat Cummins &amp; Co.

Ahead of the Mohali ODI, Australian skipper Cummins was asked whether the Men in Yellow have a special plan to tackle in-form Siraj. To this, the 30-year-old had an epic one-word reply. Cummins replied with a firm "No"&nbsp;in the pre-match press conference on Thursday (September 21). Australia have faced a lot of Siraj in the recent past -- the last two editions of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, three ODIs and WTC final early this year -- and, hence, won't be too stressed while facing him once again. However, his fine form will keep them on their toes especially during the powerplays.

Speaking of Siraj, he ended with 10 wickets in Asia Cup 2023, second overall&nbsp;(most by an Indian), and will look to replicate his splendid form in the Australia series, which will be followed by CWC 2023 (starting on October 05).

For the visitors, they have a lot of regulars coming back -- from injury concerns -- during the forthcoming ODIs versus Team India. Cummins has not played an ODI since November 2022 whereas Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell are also returning after injury layoffs. They, however, have a well-oiled unit to challenge Rohit, Virat Kohli-less India in the first two ODIs.

Australia have already announced that they will&nbsp;be without pacer&nbsp;Starc and all-rounder&nbsp;Maxwell for the series opener in Mohali.&nbsp;

Both India and Australia will meet in their CWC 2023 openers in Chennai on October 08 after the three ODIs. The World Cup kicks off on October 05 in Ahmedabad&nbsp;with defending champions England taking on New Zealand.

Ind vs Aus: Cummins gives epic one-word reply when asked if visitors have special plan to tackle Siraj

A day after Team India won&nbsp;Asia Cup 2023,&nbsp;the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday (September 18)&nbsp;announced&nbsp;India's squad for their next assignment, the&nbsp;three-match ODI series versus Australia at home. KL Rahul will lead in the first two games whereas Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will feature only in&nbsp;the series finale. The squad sees the return of R Ashwin.&nbsp;The series opener will be held on Friday (September 22) in at the IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali.

The squad has been shared in two parts -- for the opening two games and the series decider. Interestingly, a lot of regulars have been rested with Rahul to lead the second-stringed side in the initial two ODIs. With Axar Patel picking up an injury during the Asia Cup, R Ashwin and Washington Sundar are part of all the three ODIs whereas Ruturaj Gaikwad -- who is set to lead India in the Asian Games starting on September 23 -- is&nbsp;part of the Rahul-led squad.

Meanwhile, Rohit, regular vice-captain Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav and&nbsp;Kohli will come back for the third and final ODI. In Hardik's absence, Ravindra Jadeja has been named as Rahul's deputy.

For First two ODIs vs Australia:&nbsp;KL Rahul (C &amp; WK), Ravindra Jadeja (Vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.

For third and final ODI vs Australia:&nbsp;Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya, (Vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel (if fit), Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj.

The likes of Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav will be eager to make the most of their chances in the upcoming 50-over games, with main focus on the former's fitness. Meanwhile, Ashwin and Sundar will also be desperate to force the Indian team management to make some last-minute changes in the CWC 2023 squad -- which can be done by all teams until September 28 -- with Axar injured. The latter has, however, been added for the third ODI (subject to fitness).&nbsp;

Mohali and Indore will host the first two games&nbsp;on September 22 and 24,&nbsp;respectively. The series finale will take place in Rajkot&nbsp;on September 27 (Wednesday).

Recently, Cricket Australia also named a strong squad for the upcoming India series. Pat Cummins and Steve Smith have&nbsp;marked their&nbsp;return after missing the just-concluded South Africa series, in the African nation (which the Aussies lost 2-3).

Australia squad: Pat Cummins (c), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa

It is to be noted that the last India-Australia ODIs was held early this year in India, when Steve Smith &amp; Co. won 2-1. If India win the series, they will enter the World Cup as the No. 1 ranked side.

The series is India's last before the CWC 2023 edition. The mega event kicks off in Ahmedabad, India on October 5 with defending champions England taking on New Zealand.

India will meet Australia in their tournament openers on October 8 in Chennai.

BCCI announces India squad for Australia ODIs: Rohit, Kohli to feature in series finale, R Ashwin returns

Former India speedster Irfan Pathan has questioned the involvement of 2011 World Cup winner and star man Ravichandran Ashwin in the upcoming ODI series against Australia. The Indian team announced on Tuesday, September 20 saw the return of the veteran player before the ODI World Cup next month. His return though has now sparked debate, with India already riding high on the services of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel while Yuzvendra Chahal was dropped for the marquee tournament.

<h2>Irfan questions Ashwin’s involvement</h2>

"You get a better spinner than Ashwin in the entire world. But in a tournament as big as the World Cup, where there is immense pressure, you can't expect a senior player to walk in and play for the team in a format which he hasn't played for a long time and prove his worth,” Irfan said while speaking to Star Sports.

“So you are leaving it entirely to fate. There is no planning here. Had there been a plan for Ashwin, they should have given him some game time before the World Cup,” Irfan added.

The Indian team management opted to rest Kuldeep for the first two matches of the ODI series against Australia along with regular captain Rohit Sharma and senior players, such as Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya. The backlash is the result of Ravichandran Ashwin being out of action in ODI cricket for the last 18 months. His last game for the nation in the ODI format came in January 2022 against South Africa and has since been out of the ODI team while only participating in the Test format.

According to Irfan, lack of playing time could be a big factor during the World Cup while India also have better options. It is worth noting&nbsp;that India dropped Yuzvendra Chahal for the World Cup and opted for Axar Patel and Kuldeep.

IND vs AUS: Irfan Pathan questions THIS star player's involvement before WC, 'you get a better spinner...'

On Monday (September 18), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s chief selector Ajit Agarkar announced India's squads for the upcoming Australia ODIs, which kicks off on Friday (September 22). There were two squads announced as KL Rahul will lead in the opening two games with regular captain Rohit Sharma, along with vice-captain Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli and Kuldeep Yadav,&nbsp;returning for the final ODI. While R Ashwin's return has made heads turn, Yuzvendra Chahal continues to miss out and this has not been well-received by former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh.&nbsp;

Axar Patel's injury, during the just-concluded Asia Cup, led to the return of Ashwin and Washington Sundar in the ODI squad.

However, Chahal's omission has left Harbhajan Singh baffled.&nbsp;

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan said, “Yuzvendra Chahal should have been here. He has not been given an opportunity. It is beyond my understanding. Either he has fought with someone or he has said something to someone, I don't know. If we talk only about skill, his name should have been there in this team because a lot of Team India players are resting."

With his World Cup dreams looking bleak, Chahal has been busy representing Kent in County Cricket. Meanwhile, Ashwin and Sundar have a wonderful opportunity to perform well in the upcoming three ODIs and stake a claim in the CWC squad.

Talking about Axar, he is expected to recover and, hence, is&nbsp;part of the squad for the final ODI (subject to fitness).

Further, Bhajji opened up on the Australia series. He stated, "Team India have to continue the winning habit they developed in the Asia Cup. They have the ability to beat Australia as well. The team is slightly weak for the first two matches but I believe this slightly weak team can also come out on top against them."

“Australia were playing against South Africa and India were playing against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. Australia are a different team. You will have to be at your best to beat Australia because they have decent batting till No. 7 or No. 8 and they have solid hitters,” Harbhajan further added.&nbsp;

India will enter the Australia ODIs on a positive note following the Asia Cup 2023 win. Australia, on the other hand, will look to build up strongly for the forthcoming ODI World Cup -- which starts on October 5 in India -- after a 2-3 series loss to South Africa, in the African nation.&nbsp;

For First two ODIs vs Australia:&nbsp;KL Rahul (C &amp; WK), Ravindra Jadeja (Vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.

For third and final ODI vs Australia:&nbsp;Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya, (Vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel*, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.

'Either he has fought with someone or...': Harbhajan baffled by Chahal's omission from Australia ODIs

S Sreesanth, India's 2011 ODI World Cup winner, feels KL Rahul -- who returned to international cricket during Asia Cup 2023&nbsp;after a lengthy break -- should play all three ODIs versus Australia, which gets underway on Friday (September 22) in Mohali. Rahul has been named as the India captain for the first two games before regular captain Rohit Sharma will return for the series finale.&nbsp;

Speaking to Sportskeeda, Sreesanth opined that the Indian team management can opt to rest ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah -- who also made his international comeback last month after an 11-month break -- if there is a niggle.

Bumrah has been named in both the ODI squad for the Australia series -- for the opening two encounters and final ODI.

Sreesanth said, “It will be interesting to see the kind of pitches they offer to Australia in the series. But I want Bumrah to be rested if there is a niggle. Let him decide how his body is feeling. He deserves to make that decision and choose his priority. The use of fast bowlers would be crucial. They should rotate them and the fast bowlers should focus on bowling in partnerships."

He shifted focus on Rahul and added, “I would ask the likes of KL Rahul to play all the games and maintain the consistency that we spoke about. Show Australia that it will be worse for them in the World Cup. Just demoralize them and make sure we don’t lose."

The likes of Rohit, Virat Kohli, regular vice-captain Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav will only feature for the third ODI whereas the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Prasidh Krishna will look to make a mark if they get a chance during the first two games.

The biggest news from the squad announcement was the return of R Ashwin.

Both Washington Sundar and Ashwin have been added for the entire series with Axar Patel being injured.

Axar, however, is part of the squad for the third ODI if he attains full fitness.

India vs Australia: KL Rahul should play all games and maintain consistency, says 2011 ODI WC winner

Virat Kohli has had a glorious run in international cricket. He recently completed 15 years at the highest level, where he has already amassed over 25,000 runs and his century tally stands at 76, next only to Sachin Tendulkar (100). Over the years, the former Indian captain has played innumerable knocks which can be termed memorable.&nbsp;

Kohli's rise was evident after India's 2011 ODI World Cup win and even when he has not been at his best, he has continued to pile vital runs. Recently, former Australian captain Ian Chappell recalled Kohli's initial big success -- which came during India's tour of Australia in 2011/12 -- and termed his 141, in the Adelaide Test, as a masterclass.

<h2>'With the evergreen Tendulkar still plying his trade, Kohli showed glimpses of his talent'</h2>

"In 2012, with the evergreen Tendulkar still plying his trade, Kohli showed glimpses of his talent, also at the WACA ground, with a promising 44 and 75. His skilful batting against a good Australian pace attack hinted at his talent, and when he then followed it with an excellent century in Adelaide, while others around him failed, it was widely accepted he would be the next outstanding Indian batter," Chappell wrote for&nbsp;ESPNCricinfo.

"Appropriately, two years later at Adelaide Oval again, the newly appointed India captain scored two sublime centuries to almost snatch a memorable victory for his side. Kohli's second-innings 141, in particular, on a pitch that encouraged spin, was a masterpiece and with a little more help from his team-mates would have resulted in a spectacular Indian victory," the former cricketer further asserted.

Chappell added, "Despite Kohli's amazing record and his strong leadership, it was that second-innings century in Adelaide in 2014 that cemented his undoubted skill. He hit 16 fours and one six and scored at the superb rate of 80 runs per 100 balls on a pitch that suited Nathan Lyon's sharp-turning off-breaks. Kohli's ability to successfully play the cover drive - the toughest shot for a right-hander on a turning pitch - was exceptional and severely frustrated Australia's charge for victory."

The Adelaide Test was the series opener of the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia. Back then, the then Indian Test captain MS Dhoni was injured and, hence, Kohli led the side for the first time in the purest format. He led from the front with twin centuries in the match -- 115 and 141 during a 364-run chase -- but couldn't guide India to a stunning victory.&nbsp;

The two memorable knocks consolidated Kohli's Test spot and he went on to lead India in 68 Tests, winning 40 of them (most by any Indian). To date, he remains India's go-to-batter across formats -- despite not being in the T20I scheme of things since last year's World Cup -- and will hold the key for the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue in the upcoming Asia Cup (from August 30) and the home ODI World Cup, starting on October 05.

'Virat Kohli's 141 in Adelaide was a masterpiece': Ian Chappell heaps praise on former Indian captain

Australia skipper Pat Cummins has targeted a return from injury during the India tour in September as his side builds for the ODI World Cup. Cummins, injured on the opening day of the final Ashes Test at the Oval, is unlikely to feature in the South Africa tour, despite him travelling for the ODI leg. According to medical reports, Cummins could be&nbsp;match-fit for the South Africa series, but his realistic target is the India tour before the ODI World Cup warm-up matches.

<h2>Cummins targets India tour</h2>

"It's not too bad. I'll head over to South Africa at the backend of that leg, but probably more those one-dayers ahead of the World Cup. Another few weeks and I'll be right,” Cummins said on Tuesday, August 15 while speaking to Australian media.

On the opening day of the Oval Test, Pat Cummins injured his right wrist but continued playing in the contest. However, as the match progressed, the injury became sorer resulting in long-term issues. The Aussies also lost the contest on the final day,&nbsp;failing to end their 22-year drought for an&nbsp;Ashes win on English soil.

"It hurt day one when I did it and hurt a lot when I was batting but didn't think it was too bad. With each day it got a bit sorer, so knew it was probably bone as opposed to muscle,” the skipper added on the injury.

Aussie skipper Pat Cummins targets return from injury during India tour, says 'it's not too bad'

Veteran Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik feels India's biggest regret will be not playing R Ashwin in the 2021-23 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final. Karthik made the big claim while reflecting on Pat Cummins-led Australia's playing XI in the fifth and final Ashes Test, which got underway on Thursday (July 27) at The Oval, London. India faced Australia in the second WTC final, which was also held at the same ground in&nbsp;London, and lost the match by 209 runs to lose the coveted Test mace.

Karthik opined on Australia's XI, who included Todd Murphy after dropping him for the fourth Test. Backing the decision, he told Sky Sports, "Todd Murphy is coming in. We know the pitch is dry.&nbsp;Nathan&nbsp;Lyon has done well at the Oval over a period of time. So the obvious change."

<h2>'You are unearthing a cab wound'</h2>

The 38-year-old then recalled India's decision to drop ace spinner Ashwin, who is also the No. 1 ranked Test bowler, during the WTC final in early June. "But India left R Ashwin as well, didn't they? In the World Test championship final. And that possibly cost them because this pitch is dry. You are unearthing a cab wound there. I think we should let that go. But yes, I think they do when they look back at it. That is one of the biggest regrets they could have," he added.

Talking about the WTC finale, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. won the toss and opted to bowl first. At 76 for 3, Australia were on the back foot before Travis Head's 163 and Steve Smith's 121 propelled them to a daunting 469. In reply, India only managed 296 and gave a healthy 173-run lead before Pat Cummins &amp; Co. set up a challenging 444-run target for the Asian giants.

In their run-chase, India fell for a modest 234 on the final day to lose by a big margin. This became India's second straight defeat in the WTC final.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Australia are now focused on winning their first Ashes series in England since 2001 in the ongoing edition having entered the final Test with an unassailable 2-1 lead. They will look to replicate their performance from the WTC final to register another historic win at The Oval and end their tour of the United Kingdom on a high.&nbsp;

Leaving R Ashwin out of WTC Final will remain India's biggest regret, says veteran keeper Dinesh Karthik

India endured a forgettable batting performance on Sunday, getting bowled out for 234 while chasing 444 against Australia in the World Test Championship final. Despite starting the day with seven wickets in hand and requiring 280 runs, India’s batting was blown away before the first session could be completed.&nbsp;

Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland stood out among the bowlers, taking four and three wickets respectively. Australia has now become the only team to clinch four ICC titles. India missed another chance to secure their first ICC trophy since 2013.

<h2>Shubman Gill’s post</h2>

After the match, opening batsman Shubman Gill expressed his feelings on Twitter. He shared a picture of Team India and wrote, "Not finished."

This loss in the World Test Championship final marked India's second consecutive defeat in the event, following their previous loss to New Zealand in the inaugural edition in 2021.

Scott Boland played a pivotal role in triggering a dramatic collapse as Australia secured a resounding 209-run victory over India in the World Test Championship final at The Oval.

However, they faltered and were bowled out for 234, losing seven wickets for just 70 runs within 24 overs before lunch on the fifth day.

However, on Day 4, Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli’s partnership gave hope to the Indian side as they stitched a crucial 71-run stand to keep India alive in the World Test Championship against Australia. The duo’s efforts helped India reach 164/3 at the stumps and they now need 280 more to win.&nbsp;

The opening partnership between Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill brought in only 41 runs off 44 balls. Rohit and Cheteshwar Pujara then put up 51 runs off 77 before India’s progress was dented by both batters getting dismissed within minutes of each other. Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc played impressively in Australia’s second innings and ensured they were not all out for a second time in the match.&nbsp;

India will now have to shatter all records for the highest successful run chase in the history of Test cricket to win this WTC 2023 Final.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS WTC Final 2023, final day  Live For Free: Best way to watch India vs Australia Live on mobile & TV

On Day 3 of the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval, Indian batsman Ajinkya Rahane made a remarkable comeback. After being dropped from the Sri Lanka Test series in March 2022, Rahane played his first match for India and emerged as the highest scorer for his team in London.&nbsp;

Despite concerns about India's performance, Rahane's knock of 89, along with the support of Shardul Thakur, helped the team avoid a follow-on. During his innings, former Australia coach Justin Langer revealed an interesting detail about the role of Steve Waugh in Rahane's calm and composed approach.

Langer shared a conversation he had with Steve Waugh during the Border-Gavaskar Test series in 2021/22. Waugh, the former Australian captain, disclosed that he had been having conversations with Rahane, possibly mentoring him leading up to that series. Langer, who was the head coach of Australia at the time, found this revelation unsettling because it foreshadowed the nightmare he experienced later in the series. Rahane, despite leading an injury-plagued and Kohli-less Indian side, inspired a remarkable comeback with a century in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.

<h2>What Justin Langer said</h2>

Langer recalled, "Before the series started, Steve Waugh, my hero, called me and honestly admitted that he was in contact with Rahane and mentoring him prior to the series. As the iceman, Steve Waugh's calmness was evident in Rahane's performance during that series. When I learned about their conversations, it raised red flags for me."

In the absence of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane led the Indian side to a resounding 2-1 victory in the 2021 Border-Gavaskar Trophy . In the Boxing Day Test, Rahane scored a century and emerged as the Player of the Match.

<h2>Ajinkya Rahane in the WTC</h2>

Although Rahane fell short of a well-deserved century on Friday when Pat Cummins dismissed him for 89 off 129 balls, his performance was sensational considering his absence from the team for nearly 18 months and uncertainty about his future. Starting at 71 for 4 in 18.2 overs, Rahane's innings helped revive India, taking them to a total of 296 runs. Australia have a lead of 296 runs ahead of Day 4.

On the fourth ball of the 65th over, Head bought his sixth Test hundred and looked in good touch, and need just 106 deliveries. In the meantime, Smith also continued his exploits but was scoring at a slower rate than Head. He brought his 38th Test fifty in the 62nd over.
