However, India are currently playing the three-match ODI series against Australia. India got a big blow in the first One Day International in Mumbai as Australia thrashed them by 10 wickets. Australia openers Warner and Aaron Finch chased down the total with ease with 37.4 overs where both of them smashed centuries.

India failed to live up to the expectations where fans demanded their favourite player –  MS Dhoni in the middle. The former India captain hasn’t played a single match ever since India’s exit from the ICC World Cup 2019 semifinal. Recently BCCI has excluded him from the central contract as well.

India will take on Australia in the second ODI on Friday at Rajkot whereas the third one will take place in Bengaluru on January 19.
