The spotlight will once again be on KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja when India takes on Australia in the second ODI on Sunday, with regular captain Rohit Sharma returning to lead the side after missing the opening game in Mumbai.
India defeated Australia by five wickets in a low-scoring game at the Wankhede Stadium, with Rahul, who struggled to find form during the Border-Gavaskar series leading to him being dropped for the third and fourth Tests, scoring a patient unbeaten 75 as the hosts cantered home.
India would look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series and also try to make amends with the bat, after they were in a spot of bother at 4/39, and later at 5/83, before Rahul and Jadeja came together at the crease to guide the hosts to victory with 61 balls to spare.
Rohit Sharma's return to captaincy duties will certainly give solidity to the top order, which crumbled to the pace and variations of Australian quick Mitchell Starc in the first encounter.
While not much should be read into Kohli and Gill's below-par scores in the first ODI, Suryakumar Yadav not being able to find his mojo in the 50-over format is a reason for concern.
