The three-match ODI series between India and Australia is about to start on 22nd September 2023 to be played at PCA Stadium, Mohali. It promises to be an exciting series as the Australian team bought their star players including Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, and Steve Smith after recovering from injury.
On the other hand, KL Rahul has been handed as the captain for the first two One-day internationals before Rohit Sharma takes charge in the 3rd ODI match. Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Kuldeep Yadav have been rested for the first two matches before full strength Indian squad will play in the final ODI match.
The Indian team will be high on confidence as they won the 2023 Asia Cup while Australia would be looking to put disappointing display as they lost 2-3 after being 2-0 up in the series against South Africa. India and Australia will fight for the number 1 spot in the ODI rankings. A 2-1 win or 3-0 victory will put India at the number 1 spot while Australia registering a 3-0 series win would take them to the number 1 spot.
