India
India had a disappointing outing in the first ODI, managing only 136/9 in 26 overs. The batting collapse was saved only by KL Rahul (38 off 31) and Axar Patel (31 off 38), who added some respectability to the total.
The top order — Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill — struggled against the new ball swing and must find rhythm early to counter Australia’s pace attack.
In the bowling department, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh will once again share the new ball duties, while Kuldeep Yadav could be brought in to exploit spin-friendly middle overs.
