Series Opener  

India and Australia will face off in the first ODI at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium today (January 14). Here is India's likely Playing XI for the three-match series opener. Captain Virat Kohli had said that there is a possibility of all three openers Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul being part of the XI. If all three play, then Kohli will vacate his number three position.

While CSK is a three-time champion, the Bengaluru franchise is probably the biggest underachiever despite boasting of some of the best names in its squad.

The Virat-Kohli led team ticked all the boxes to thrash Australia by six wickets in the series opener on Saturday. It was a welcome win for India after losing the T20 series 0-2. Now, the action shifts to Nagpur's VCA Stadium for the second ODI

"You can conveniently merge everything and make it a circle where everyone is doing their job and not focusing on what people are saying on the outside," Kohli said on the eve of the series-opener against the West Indies.
