BCCI announced two line-ups with KL Rahul leading the Indian team in the first two ODIs and Rohit Sharma returning in the third ODI. Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli were rested. However, all the big names will be back for his third and final ODI, which will be India’s last bilateral match before the start of the 2023 ICC World Cup.
The three one-day international matches between India and Australia will be held on September 22, 24 and 27 in Mohali, Indore and Rajkot. Australia have already announced their squad for the World Cup and India tour.
India has included both R Ashwin and Washington Sundar in the 15-man squad for the first two ODIs against Australia. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Varma are also named for the first two ODIs. Other batsmen in the team are Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill.
The bowling unit is the same as the one selected for the Asia Cup, with Ravindra Jadeja leading the spin attack and serving as vice-captain in the first two ODIs. Mohammed Siraj, Mohammad Shami, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna form the pace unit.
“No One Would Wanna Be In Sanju’s Shoes Right Now”- Robin Uthappa
A wave of sympathy erupted on social media when Indian cricket fans noticed that R Ashwin, who has not played an ODI since January 2022, had been recalled to the team. Sanju Samson, who had been with the team for quite some time and had even traveled to the West Indies, was nowhere to be seen.
Samson was also not selected for the Asian Games, where Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead an Indian team full of IPL stars.
Robin Uthappa shared a message about Sanju Samson on X (formerly Twitter).
He posted: “No one would want to be in Sanju’s shoes right now”

The justification could be that even if he was in the squad he wouldn’t get a game. But not even being in the squad would be quite disheartening.
