First ODI: IND vs. AUS Continuous Score Updates:

Both India and Australia will concentrate on the three-match ODI series beginning today at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai after an exciting four-match Test series that India won 2-1 to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The World Cup is scheduled to be played in India in around seven months, therefore this series can serve as the best preseason for these two illustrious teams. Drama is in no short supply, though.The first ODI will be played without the normal captains of either team. As Rohit Sharma is unavailable due to personal matters, Hardik Pandya will captain India, and SteveSmith will lead Australia in place of Pat Cummins, who is in Sydney mourning the loss of his mother.

Mumbai’s record for Virat Kohli VERY WORRIED FOR Australia
The three most prolific run scorers at Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium are Mohammad
Azharuddin, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli, respectively. In five games, Kohli has
amassed 265 runs, with his greatest performance coming against New Zealand in 2017. His
average is a respectable 66.25, and he has struck both a century and a fifty.David Warner,
an Australian, is ranked 13th overall but scored a scorching 128 in the only ODI he played
there.

Below is a potential starting lineup for India

There are 11 openings out of 15 players. The management of the Indian team would be in a bit of a pickle without Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer. Selecting KL Rahul or Ishan Kishan to open with Shubman Gill and selecting Umran Malik or Mohammed Siraj to partner
Mohammed Shami with the new ball are the two difficult decisions. The playing XI that the
Indian is most likely to use is listed below based on the field, the weather, and team combinations.

First One-Day International between Australia and India statistics
– This might be Axar Patel’s 50th ODI.
– Rahul needs 130 runs to reach 2000 runs in ODIs.
– Steve Smith needs 16 runs to reach 2000 runs as an ODI captain.
– David Warner needs 10 more runs to reach 1000 runs against India in one-day
internationals.
– Glenn Maxwell needs 87 more runs to get 1000 runs against India in one-day
internationals.

The Red-Hot is another option. Shuben Gill

One can’t help but wonder if Shubman Gill is Indian cricket’s Virat Kohli replacement after a
stellar start to 2023. Yes, according to experts, and his outstanding bat performance
supports their opinions.

Only the third month of 2023 has passed, and Gill already has two centuries in ODIs and
one in each T20I and Test. Shikhar Dhawan’s potential comeback has been all but ended by
his raucous touch, and Ishan Kishan’s quest to make the starting XI has become longer.
Future has arrived. Is the Australian squad going to take the brunt of Gill’s fury after Sri
Lanka and New Zealand? As of 2023, he has already scored 755 runs, making him the ODI
cricket player with the most runs.

AVOID MOHAMMED SIRAJ

Australia continues to be one of Mohammed Siraj’s favourite teams to play.
During a difficult moment in his life, he made his Test debut against them. Three matches
later, he picked up his first five-wicket haul in international cricket. Siraj has been a Test
specialist for India for just over two years, but he still seeks to establish himself as a lock for their limited-overs lineup. Siraj made his ODI debut in 2019 against Australia, where he gave up 76 runs in 10 overs. But, since making a strong comeback in 2022, the India bowler has been difficult to get away with. Siraj has taken 38 ODI wickets in 24 games while only going wicketless once. His average of 14.37 at home ranks second among bowlers who have bowled more than 50 overs in India.

ODI head-to-head statistics and records

Australia vs. India is a rivalry unlike any other. Given how lopsided the games used to be, it wasn’t as huge in the 1990s, but over the last ten years, the intensity has multiplied. In the 143 ODI matches between India and Australia, the 5-time World Champions had a strong 80-53 record. The first ODI is being played at Mumbai’s legendary Wankhede Stadium, which has historically favoured batters, raising the stakes even further. In fact, the average first-innings total at this location over the last five ODIs is 293, so another run-fest seems likely based on this tendency.
