India vs Australia, 1st ODI, Australia tour of India, 2023 - CommentaryIND vs AUS, 1st ODI, Australia tour of India, 2023 - Commentary

shubhendra: Intelligent batting, thats only needed for India to ease to victory

Ashwin: Good to see Surya not trying to force things from ball one in this innings and playing according to the situation. Will be a great addition to the middle order with this dimension of his given his finishing abilities.

Kedar: Same approach by both teams. Giving respect to main bowler and attacking weak links.

Amul Raj: This is great opportunity for SKY to prove his mettle.

Aayasha: It would be completely shocking to see India losing the game from here. Openers did fantastic work to set the tempo.

ManoDivya: Now it has got interesting. Will test the middle and lower order, the likes of SKY, Shardul, Jadeja and even Ashwin for how they perform under pressure

Sushil Kumar: This is the importance of Starc in this Australian Team, without him this bowling attack looks very friendly. Part time bowling of Stoinis, Green & Short is a treat for quality batsmen.

Mohit: The problem with such long batting order for Australia is that a lot of players are under utilised . Matt short batted at 8 and that's where Maxwell will bat as well probably.

Rajesh: In these three matches, Jadeja should be promoted in the batting order, so that he may find his rhythm as a finisher, which is essential for India in WC

Fahad: I think India will try Shami ahead of Shardul Thakur. The team looks more balanced with the Shami Bhai...

Ankit Kumar: @Akshay, maybe they are not playing the waiting game, but rather adapting to the Indian playing conditions. It is a long shot but could very well be the reason.

Abhirath: Good recovery by Ashwin...first five overs he conceded 30 runs, and only 17 off his final five!

Akshay: It's hard to understand why Australia is playing the waiting game with so much batting depth, with the kind of bowlers they have Australia need atleast 20-30 runs above the par score here.

Laksh: Wow! Sloppy keeping from KL, provided a breakthrough for India in form of a run out. -- "That's twice now that his fumbles have helped India. Marnus too was stumped because he didn't gather the ball."

Prateek Sirikonda: Rahul has rotated the bowlers so well so far.

Rex: @Subhash: Since Ishan is not a surety in the playing 11 Rahul will be given the keeping role in the World Cup. I agree he is not the best keeping option we have.

Subhash: Is it too early to fret on KL's work behind the stumps? He struggled in the Asia Cup too keeping to Kuldeep and Jadeja on turning tracks!

Ashvarya: The ground fielding from India has been quite sloppy in general. It seems more of a mental thing than skills as this has been primarily observed on "not so important" matches. Hope they work on this aspect as well before the WC starts.

Nitin: Debate going on Thakur v Shami and here I am thinking how to rinse the butter off of Indian fielders' hands today.

Karan Mishra: @Kushagra: Though Shami is more lethal with the ball, we need to give credit to Shardul for being a wicket-taker and also being much better with the bat. He will come in handy when the top order fails.

Kushagra: It may be more beneficial to consider Shami over Thakur. Thakur may not be considered a pure all-rounder at this time. It may be wise to choose a genuine fast bowler with better pace and length. Additionally, Shami has the ability to swing his arms.

Suresh Babu K: @Akash Raghav I disagree with that. Since ODI cricket (especially in India) evolved as a format that require fire power till the tail, it will be a tough call for the teams to include 3 genuine pacers. All-rounders are becoming an inevitable part of white ball cricket nowadays.

Abhishek: @Amul, this world cup schedule is going to be a hectic one, it is better to rotate the fast bowlers throughout the tournament to keep them afresh

Akash Raghav: I think India needs go into the world cup with all Shami, Siraj & Bumrah. They all have wicket taking ability at any stage.

Amul: Siraj vs Shami is going to be a tough selection battle during the World Cup. Cannot just keep Shami on the sidelines with his skill and experience.

Adish Bansal: @Satish Meena. This may not necessarily be due to lack of interest. It may be due to extreme heat, working day and afternoon time. You ll see a lot more fans in as the day progresses and it cools down a bit.

Satish Meena: Seems like fans are loosing interest in the ODI matches. 40% seats are occupied while two best team in the worlds are playing. Need to do some interesting things to attract the fans.

Akshay: Going in with just 5 bowlers already looking like a bad decision with bowlers already struggling in the heat

GowthamS: @Abhinav Look at Australia's bowling line up. They have only 3 full time bowlers

Abhinav: India only playing with 5 bowlers, that too the fifth bowler is Shardul. Hope the gamble doesn't backfire.
