Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya
IND vs AUS ODI series: The Indian and Australian teams will now start preparing for the ODI series after the Test. The first game will be played on March 17 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The teams have arrived there and it is reported that both teams will start practices from March 15. Those Australian players, who were not selected for the ODI series after the Test, will return to the country, while the players who were not in the Test, but were selected for the ODI series, have arrived in India. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya, who was appointed captain of the first ODI, is now about to embark on a new mission but he has a big challenge ahead of him. Which they have to overcome at all costs. Rohit Sharma will join the Indian team from the second match after the first.
Hardik Pandya will captain the India team for the first time in ODI
The challenge against Hardik Pandya will be huge because the whole Australian team will be completely new to him. Hardik Pandya was not a part of the Test series but is now making a comeback from ODI. Not only this, Hardik Pandya has a great responsibility on his shoulders, he has to keep up the work that Rohit Sharma has shown in ODI this year. He will tell you what. In fact, the Indian team has contested six ODIs so far this year. In all these, Team India has been captained by Rohit Sharma and the Indian team has not lost a single match in it. The India team first defeated Sri Lanka in three ODIs earlier this year and then defeated New Zealand in all three ODI series. Hardik Pandya has previously captained him in T20 for the Indian team and also won the title for his team Gujarat Titans in IPL but for Team India, he will be seen captaining for the first time in ODI. In such a situation, facing the Australian team will not be easy for them.
Team India have won every ODI match played this year
Team India started their ODI journey this year with the series against Sri Lanka. In the first match played in Guwahati, the India team defeated Sri Lanka by a wide margin of 67 runs. After this, the second match took place in Kolkata, in which also the Indian team won by four wickets. The third and final match of the series was played in Trivandrum, it was won by the India team by a huge margin of 317 runs and Sri Lanka’s sweep of the series. After this, the India team had a match with New Zealand. It was believed that the Indian team would receive a challenge from New Zealand, but it did not happen.

The second match took place in Raipur which India won by eight wickets and the third match was played in Indore which was won by the Indian team by 90 runs.
