With the start of the ODI World Cup 2023, all the Indian fans are now eagerly waiting for the India vs Australia match. On October 8, the match between the 2 teams will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Bad news has emerged for the Indian team from this important match. Opening batsman Shubman Gill has been out of the playing XI of this match due to viral fever. In such a situation, wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan may get the responsibility of opening with captain Rohit Sharma.
Shubman Gill’s exit is a big shock:
The Indian team has to start its World Cup campaign against Australia, in such a situation, Shubman Gill’s exclusion will be considered a big blow for Team India. So far in the year 2023, Gill’s bat has been seen speaking strongly as an opening batsman, in which he has so far scored 1230 runs in 20 innings at an average of 73.35. At the same time, the opening partnership of Gill and captain Rohit has also been seen making an important contribution to the team’s victory.
Ishan Kishan’s luck will open:
After Shubman Gill is out of the match against Australia, Ishan Kishan can take the responsibility of opening in his place. Ishaan has seen excellent form in the ODI format so far this year. Ishaan played three consecutive half-century innings as an opening batsman in the 3-match ODI series played on the West Indies tour. At the same time, he played an important inning of 82 runs while batting in the middle order in the group match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan can be proven the right choice for the team as an opening batsman in the absence of Gill.
Earlier, Ishan Kishan was not looking for a place in the playing XI for this match against Australia. The biggest reason for this is Shreyas Iyer being completely fit and proving his form. If we talk about the batting order of the Indian team in the first match against Australia, then Ishan Kishan can be seen in the opening along with captain Rohit. Whereas Virat Kohli is certain to play at number 3. After this Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya will be seen.
The Indian team’s playing XI in the match against Australia could be like this:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.
