India (281/5) defeat Australia (276) by 5 wickets to win the 1st ODI and gain number one position in ICC's ODI Team Rankings

Zampa strikes , Gaikwad out for 71(77). India is in strong position to win this game. India need 134 runs from 28.1 overs.
 
Time for iyer to do some practice and score some runs .he is vital for middle overs
Is this the same guy who is poor vs bounce? Seen him get owned in England in the last test match 2022.

Not sure if he is good.

He is good batsman .his odi stats is pretty good hut short bowling is his weakness
 
Dann we needed iyer to score some runs and he wasted this chance. Win is not important but his practice was very important
Everything going according to Sunil Shetty's plan so far. Iyer fails and that brings Rahul to the crease. (y)

Hopefully he will perform in next game as we have four more game before worldcup match against Australia.
 
Starc
Hazlewood
Cummins
Zampa
Stoinis
Marsh
Green

All csn bowl

Then part time they have

Smith?
Even labu can somewhat roll his arm

That's insane depth. Quality depth or not.
 
I've never been convinced by this Gaikwad guy. Whatever limited chances he got in LOIs, he has never played a good inning against quality sides, and he always seems to struggle when the pitch is a bit challenging for batting. Finally, today, he managed to score a 50 on a flat track after being given a second chance.
 
Hah. India threw it here. Game on. India could lose this. Weak tail.
 
All 3 bats lose their wickets by their recklessness.
 
Again its Zampa, Key wicket for Australia. Shubman Gill gone. Played explosive innings 74(63) including 2 sixes 6 fours
 
Now India need 99 runs from 20 overs. India will comfortably win. Damage has already been done by opening pairs of India
 
This is where Kohli is very important becouse he is taking the game away from apposition by taking 5-6 runs in every over.
 
India need 92 runs from 17 overs.

Big stage for SKY here , he needs to take his team home, the required rate not too high , just needs to rotate the strike .
 
Why is Dravid hellbent on making a middle order batsman out of Kishan?

He isn't good enough to bat in middle order
 
This is where Kohli is very important becouse he is taking the game away from apposition by taking 5-6 runs in every over.
If Kohli comes at No.4 or 5 he will be even more effective. He is no more a No.3 batsman. He either gets out for new ball with close-in fielders OR wastes lots of balls in the powerplay which cannot be made up easily later on! In this way he can play for few more years!
 
Except for that innings against Pakistan in Asia Cup, he has always been a failure in middle order.

Agree with this.

Kohli is no longer the batsman he was at no. 3.

No Kohli is still best No.3 batsman .
 
If Australia take 1 more wickets now then this game is done and dusted for India
 
Australia is back in game. Pat Cummins showing his class. India 195/4 need 81 runs in 90 balls.
 
Lol Indian reserve batters are better than our fake top order.
Aus without starc and hazlewood though. Won't be easy vs them if they come back. India are also missing players but India's batting is overrated.
