The Indian team is working hard in Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Rohit Sharma and company have booked a ticket to the semi-finals by defeating Bangladesh and Pakistan. Now, Team India will play its last match of the group stage against New Zealand on March 2. Meanwhile, discussions have started regarding the Indian team for the ODI series to be played with Australia. It is being said that Jasprit Bumrah will return to the series, but Rohit Sharma may be dropped.
Jasprit Bumrah will return
Before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian team suffered a major setback. Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah had to be out of the team due to injury. He has not been able to be a part of the marquee tournament due to back problems. However, it is being speculated that he can return to the team through the Australia ODI series. In the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2025, he impressed everyone with his lethal bowling and made a place in the hearts of the audience. Therefore, it is now expected that Jasprit Bumrah can once again become a nightmare for the Kangaroo players.
Rohit Sharma may be cut
Team India’s performance under the leadership of Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been excellent. Last year, he fulfilled the team’s dream of becoming a champion by leading India to the ICC T20 World Cup 2025 title. But for some time now, there have been reports that he may announce his retirement from international cricket after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Due to this, it seems difficult for Rohit Sharma to play in the ODI series against Australia.
Team India will play this many ODI matches with Australia
Along with this, it is worth mentioning that India has to play a three-match ODI series with Australia. Apart from this, five T20 matches will be organized between the two teams. For this, Indian players are going to tour Australia in October-November. After the humiliating defeat in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2025 last month, Team India will try to win both these series. In the absence of experienced players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja, the responsibility of leading the team may be on the shoulders of Jasprit Bumrah.
India’s probable team for IND vs AUS ODI series: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi.
