Tomorrow the second ODI match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide. The Indian team lost by 7 wickets in the first ODI match affected by rain. Now Team India will have a chance to level the series one-on-one. India’s top order proved to be sluggish in the first match, which remains a cause of concern for the team. Meanwhile, news has come out that Rohit Sharma can be made to sit out in the second ODI match. Know here how India’s playing eleven could be in the Adelaide ODI match.

Will Rohit Sharma be out?

Before the second match, Rohit Sharma sweated for hours in the nets, but a report revealed that when Rohit Sharma returned to the hotel after the practice session, his expressions were not like they usually are. This update has also come to light that head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were seen talking to Yashasvi Jaiswal for a long time. Jaiswal, who is in competition with Rohit Sharma for the second opening slot. It is also worth noting that Rohit has not suffered any injury, hence he is unlikely to be kept out of the playing eleven.

Rohit Sharma (8), Virat Kohli (0) and Shubman Gill (10) may have flopped in the first ODI, but they may still get many opportunities to prove themselves. At the same time, the place of vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also seems to be confirmed. KL Rahul and Akshar Patel played innings of 38 and 31 runs respectively in the difficult conditions of Perth.

Kuldeep Yadav may enter

Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance in the playing eleven in the Adelaide ODI match, but the question will be who will replace him? Nitish Kumar Reddy or Harshit Rana may have to suffer the consequences of Kuldeep’s arrival, because the places of all the other players seem almost certain.

India’s probable playing eleven: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy/Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj

Harshit Rana should be fed

Talking about keeping Harshit Rana in the playing eleven, Irfan Pathan said, “I think Harshit will play. He is the only bowler in this team who can also bat. I think he can be played at number 8. I see him in this position as the third fast bowler. This will be a big opportunity for him to do well.”
