IND vs AUS, 2nd ODI: Top Five Picks
- Shubman Gill (IND): Shubman Gill has had a terrific year so far. The youngster has racked up 587 runs in just 7 innings at a stellar average of 97.83 with three centuries and one half-century. He scored 20 off 31 in the first game but would be looking to stretch his solid form in this format.
- Virat Kohli (IND): India's run-machine Virat Kohli got dismissed for just 4 runs off the bowling of Mitchell Starc in the series opener at Mumbai. The right-handed batter can't be kept quiet for long especially in his favourite format as he would look to get a significant score in Visakhapatnam.
- KL Rahul (IND): KL Rahul seems to have been enjoying his role in the middle-order in ODIs. The right-handed wicketkeeper batter has scored 942 runs in 23 innings at an average of 52.33 between position 4 and 5 in the last two years or so. With a match-wininng knock of 75* off 91 in the first game, he is a sure shot pick for this clash.
- Steven Smith (AUS): Australia skipper Steven Smith got a start in the last match as he scored 22 off 30. The classy batter has 4939 runs to his name in 125 innings at an average of 44.90. He will look to lead his side from the front by getting the runs and squaring the series 1-1.
- Mitchell Starc (AUS): Aussie speedster Mitchell Starc delivered a solid spell of 3/49 in 9.5 overs in Mumbai. He got rid of three of the top 4 Indian batters as he looked at his lethal best. With 214 wickets in 108 innings, experienced Starc is a worthy pick for this fixture.
