India vs Australia 3rd ODI Probable 11s, Canberra weather and pitch report

, 14 news, a view

Indian cricket team failed to make an impression in its first series, after the Covid-19 forced break, which raised some questions about squad selection and hence the final playing eleven. After the first match, Kohli said that India did not have any all-rounder in the ODI squad and the sixth bowling option has to come from within the team.

In fact, the lack of a sixth bowling option is not a new problem for India in 50-over cricket. During India’s tour of New Zealand in February this year, India lost the series 3-0 and now Indian team management have to go a long way in fixing the issue.

Moreover, India is staring a series whitewash in a day's time, when it will lock horns for the third and final ODI match of the series against Australia at Canberra on Wednesday. Though, India’s lacklustre performance cannot be attributed to only one reason, Virat Kohli’s bad decisions on and off the field should also share the blame. Going with the same set for players after a loss in the first ODI did not help the Indian captain in the second one.
