IND vs AUS: Watch- Ishan Kishan Dons Wicketkeeping Gloves In Place Of KL Rahul Midway In 3rd ODI, BCCI To Lift The Lid Soon

Australian Cricket Team had won the toss & opted to bat first. The visitors brought back David Warner & Ashton Agar into the playing 11 in place of Cameron Green (*unwell) and Nathan Ellis. Skipper Rohit Sharma sticks to the same playing 11 of the 2nd ODI. KL Rahul silenced all the outside noise where in the 1st ODI by playing a match-winning knock of 75 runs in 91 balls where he struck 7 fours & 1 six. KL Rahul has provided the stability to the team in the middle overs phase.

Australia had a pretty decent power-play where they scored 61 runs for the loss of no wickets. Hardik Pandya took 3 key scalps of Travis Head, Steve Smith & Hardik Pandya, and all of a sudden the mighty Aussies were in deep trouble at 85-3 in 14.3 overs. The Aussie batters looked in a hurry to play shots.

Ishan Kishan replaces KL Rahul as wicket-keeper

At the end of 16 overs, Australia’s score was 92-3 where David Warner’s score was 7 runs in 8 balls & Marnus Labuschagne was on 3 runs in 7 balls. Hardik Pandya was bowling the 17th over and in the middle of the over, KL Rahul, the wicket-keeper went off the field, and in his place, Ishan Kishan donned the wicket-keeping gloves (*Ishan Kishan is not a part of playing 11). It looks as if KL Rahul won’t keep wickets for India for the upcoming ODIs & ODI WC 2023.

Crucial Phase for Australia

David Warner & Marnus Labuschagne needs to bat responsibly as it would be quite tough for the likes of Alex Carey & Marcus Stoinis to score runs against the spinners. David Warner would be tested as this is his maiden outing in the ODI Series where he doesn’t have ample experience in batting in the middle order.

Rohit Sharma would sense that a couple of more wickets would put them in a state of ascendancy. It won’t be a bad idea to give Hardik Pandya a couple of more overs where the all-rounder has bowled impeccable lines & lengths & has shown good control. The left-hand-right-hand combination might frustrate Indian bowlers.
