Men’s ODI WC: Ishan To Open In Place Of Ill Gill As Australia Win Toss, Elect To Bat First Against India

ODI World Cup: Ishan Kishan will open the Indian innings alongside captain Rohit Sharma in place of Shubman Gill, out due to illness, as Australia won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the fifth match of 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

As expected, India are playing a three-pronged spin attack in Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and local lad Ravichandran Ashwin on a pitch which is a little bit on the slower side and looks dry. Ishan had opened the innings for India on tour of West Indies in July and got three consecutive fifties, apart from a spectacular 210 against Bangladesh in Chattogram last year.
