Shreyas Iyer’s match fitness and Suryakumar Yadav’s ODI record are set to be tested in India’s three-game series against Australia, which serves as a final preparation before the upcoming World Cup. With captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, and Hardik Pandya resting, coach Rahul Dravid will have an opportunity to evaluate the team’s bench strength. The first ODI is scheduled to take place on September 22 in Mohali. Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are expected to open the innings, with Iyer filling in for Kohli. The workload management of fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will also be crucial in this series.
