India
There would be a lot at stake for the men in blue during the second game as after losing the first game in a one-sided affair team can afford a further loss and cost the series. India is likely to make few forceful changes, Rishab Pant will not be playing in the second game due to concussion happen in the first game and in his place Manish Pandey or Kedhar Jadhav likely to be starting eleven.
Ones again the onus will be on India’s prime batsmen and also ICC top ODI batsmen, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma respectively. Batting duo averages 60+ versus the Aussies and they are the vital cogs in the Indian batting line-up. Rohit Sharma is India’s leading scorer last year, scored 1490 from 27 games at an average of 57.30 whereas skipper Virat Kohli also scored 1377 at an average of 59.86 last year. Ones again the onus will be on the batting duo to deliver top-class batting performance in the most important game of the series.
Other top-order batsmen, Shikhar Dhawan and K L Rahul played well during the last game. Shikhar Dhawan was the top scorer for India with 74 runs whereas K L also played impact knock of 47 runs. Batting duo would need to carry on the good form
Bowling wise, Pacer Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami form will be very crucial for India. Both were not up to the mark in the last game and they would need to be more disciplined against destructive Aussies line-up in an upcoming game. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja were also failed to make an impact as both went for runs and were wicketless.
Key Players: Virat Kohli, Rohit Shrama, Jasprit Bumrah
