The Indian cricket team is all to take on Australia in ODIs after winning the four-match Test series by 2-1. The three-match series will be crucial for both India and Australia as a preparation for the 50-over World Cup that will be hosted by India later this year. India have already been victorious in the home series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
Along with the Indian team, the series will also be crucial for some players who are battling to cement their place in the ODI squad. Some players are making a comeback in the team others will be looking to regain their lost form.
Here is a list of three such players for whom this ODI series will be very crucial:
#3 Ravindra Jadeja
The star all-rounder played a pivotal role for India in winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which resulted in him getting the joint Player of the series award along with the spin twin Ravichandran Ashwin. Although, Jadeja hasn’t been a regular player for India in ODIs in the past few years due to various all-rounding options at number 7 like Axar Patel, Washington Sundar and Shahbaz Ahmed. The 34-year-old has shown that he can be an asset to the Indian team after he played fighting in the 2019 semifinal against New Zealand after a top-order collapse. The three ODIs against Australia will be crucial for him to cement his place again in the ODI squad for India.
