India vs Australia: Memes Galore As Fans Left Stunned With Washington Sundar Turning Opener For India

The Indian cricket team came up with a surprising strategy during the third ODI match against Australia in Rajkot as the team management decided to send Washington Sundar to open the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma. It was a calculated decision on their part as Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul were allowed to bat in their preferred batting positions ahead of Cricket World Cup 2023.

Glenn Maxwell returned career-best figures of 4-40 to end Australia's five-match losing streak with a consolation 66-run win over India in the third one-day international on Wednesday. Mitchell Marsh led the batting onslaught with his 96 as Australia posted 352-7, a total their bowlers defended by bowling out India for 286 in Rajkot. The hosts took the three-match series 2-1 but Australia finish on a high ahead of the ODI World Cup starting October 5 in India. Maxwell, who returned to the team alongside Mitchell Starc after the two players recovered from their injuries, scored just five with the bat but made an impact with his impressive off-spin. Maxwell got the first three wickets including skipper Rohit Sharma, for 81, and star batsman Virat Kohli, for 56, after a brisk start by India.

"If There's Any Change...": Rahul Dravid On R Ashwin's Possible World Cup Inclusion

India coach Rahul Dravid is relieved that key players such as Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, who are all coming back from injuries, could get enough miles in their legs ahead of the ODI World Cup, starting in a week's time. Bumrah, who was troubled by a back issue that kept him out for long, bowled his full quota of overs in Mohali and Rajkot - the two matches he played against Australia - but was a bit expensive in the series-concluding third ODI.

"If Virat Kohli Is Made Aware Of What You Said...": S Sreesanth Rips Into NZ Great

Just a few days to go before the ODI World Cup 2023 gets underway in India. Being the hosts, the Indian team is one of the top favourites to go the distance in the tournament. However, New Zealand great Simon Doull doesn't think the Indian team plays 'fearless cricket', which will be a hurdle for them in the showpiece event. However, S Sreesanth isn't in agreement with Doull, suggesting if Indian players, especially Virat Kohli, come to know of what he said, it would be fun to watch how the team plays against the Kiwis when they come across each other in the World Cup.

"One Bad Game Can...": Rohit Sharma's Honest Verdict On Jasprit Bumrah's Form

Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the Indian cricket team bowlers with three wickets during the third ODI match against Australia in Rajkot on Wednesday.
