While KL Rahul successfully led the team to victories in the first two matches, the Men in Blue suffered a massive defeat in the third ODI in Rajkot, helmed by regular captain Rohit Sharma.
Team India has witnessed a plethora of positives in the Australia ODI series, with the most significant being the resurgence of Shreyas Iyer, who silenced his critics with a century in the second ODI in Indore.
Besides him, Suryakumar Yadav also delivered when it mattered most, proving the management's faith in him well-placed. However, whether he secures a spot in India's starting XI for the World Cup remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, there is still no confirmed news about Axar Patel's availability for the warm-up games. Reports have indicated that Ravichandran Ashwin has travelled with Team India to Guwahati, which hints at the possibility that Axar Patel has yet to make a full recovery.
The ICC World Cup 2023 is set to kick off on October 5, with the opening clash scheduled between the reigning champions England and the runner-up of the last edition, New Zealand. India will begin its World Cup campaign against Australia on October 8 in Chennai.
