Indian skipper Virat Kohli bowed down to Indian wing commander Abhinandan in his latest post on Twitter. Kohli shared a picture of Abhinandan on his Twitter account and wrote: “Real Hero. I bow down to you. Jai Hind”.

 

The Indian wing commander returned to India a few minutes back. He had to return back to the country in the afternoon but a delay saw the national hero stepping in the country after 9:00 PM.

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Kohli will be in action tomorrow when the home team will take on Australia in the 1st ODI of the series in Hyderabad.

This is the final international series that India are playing ahead of World Cp 2019 that will be played in England after IPL.

India are under the pressure to make a comeback in the ongoing series as Australia whitewashed the hosts in the two-match T20I series.

Indian had their chances in the first T20I that ended on the final delivery of the match.

In the 2nd T20I as well, Men in Blue had their chances till the final over but Glenn Maxwell proved to the match-winner for his side in both the matches.

He could also be a game-changer in the ODI series and India will have to get him out early.

There are few changes in India’s squad for the ODI series in comparison to the squad for T20Is.

Kuldeep Yadav is back in the spin department. Kedar Jadhav and Ambati Rayudu will also be in action while Dinesh Karthik is not a part of the ODI squad.

Before the start of the 1st ODI, the Indian camp was in a bit of worry as MS Dhoni suffered an injury scare after being hit by a ball on his forearm.

It is not confirmed whether he is ruled out of the game or not. A final decision is expected to be taken on the morning of the match.

Since there has been no official word, he is likely to be fit for the 1st ODI. However, if he misses the match, Rishabh Pant will be keeping the wickets. He has done the job in Test and T20I cricket in his short international career so far.
