Australia will face team India on Sunday with an aim to lead the series 1-1.
In the second one-day international against Australia, Rohit Sharma will make a comeback as captain. India will be looking to get a second victory in Vishakapatnam on March 19 after a strong win in the first ODI. In the first one-day international, Hardik Pandya played a very important captain’s role, leading India from the front. Now that Rohit has returned as captain, he will lead India.
Will KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja again be stars?
KL Rahul, returning in form after missing the two test matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, turned out to be the jack of all trades. Rahul’s performance of 75 runs helped India win the first ODI.
Jadeja, on the other hand, played an important role in maintaining the momentum of the game. Jaddu took 2 wickets in the first half and scored 45 runs in chasing the target.
