India vs Australia 3rd ODI predicted XI: Kuldeep Yadav likely to return

Kuldeep Yadav Likely to Return

Kuldeep Yadav is set to make a comeback for the third ODI against Australia after missing the first two matches. He has 181 wickets in 113 ODIs so far.

India Aim to Avoid Whitewash

Australia have already sealed the series 2-0 after wins in Perth and Adelaide. India, under Shubman Gill’s captaincy, will look to win at least one match in Sydney.

Kuldeep Could Replace Sundar or Reddy

Kuldeep might come in for either Washington Sundar or Nitish Kumar Reddy. Reddy struggled with both bat and ball, while Sundar took two wickets but was expensive.

Prasidh Krishna May Return Too

Along with Kuldeep, pacer Prasidh Krishna could also be included in the XI. He is likely to replace Harshit Rana, who conceded 59 runs in Adelaide.

Batting Line-Up To Stay Unchanged

Despite Virat Kohli’s poor form, India are unlikely to change their batting order. Yashasvi Jaiswal might have to wait for another chance.

India’s Likely Playing XI

Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
