IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE: KL Rahul and Virat Stand Strong Against AUS After Ishaan, Rohit and Shreyas Gone For a Duck

IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE: At the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai, the opening match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will pit hosts India against the Kangaroos.

Headed by Rohit Sharma India will try to defeat the five-time World Champions to get off to a good start in the competition. Men in Blue captain Rohit Sharma has previously asserted that the Indian team is prepared to take on any challenge, citing the group’s highly motivated members and its recent victory at the Asia Cup 2023 competition. In a recent home series, India had also easily trounced the Kangaroos 2-1.

Despite having lost both of their World Cup warm-up games, India, the current top-ranked ODI team in the world, now appears to be a complete team. Rohit Sharma, the team’s captain, and seasoned batsman Virat Kohli are perhaps the top two ODI hitters for India. In the meantime, India has a wide range of top-notch spin options in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav, considering the spin-friendly conditions anticipated in Chepauk.

However, Shubman Gill’s absence leaves a glaring hole in the Indian batting order, which creates a lot of issues. Due to the illness of the cricketing prodigy, skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid must make a difficult choice.

On the other hand, Australia, led by Pat Cummins, will aim to maintain their leadership in the ODI World Cup. While the Kangaroos’ first exhibition match was postponed due to weather, they had narrowly defeated Pakistan in a high-scoring contest at Hyderabad.
