India vs Australia team news, when and where to watch, free live streaming details | ODI World Cup 2023

It's been 4 years since a teary-eyed MS Dhoni walked off the field. And Team India has been waiting since then. Waiting for another shot at the most prestigious trophy in world cricket, the ODI World Cup.

The Men in Blue begin their campaign against 5-time champions Australia in Chennai on Sunday. The same Aussies, whom India beat 2-1 in a home ODI series a few days ago.

On back of a successful Asia Cup campaign, Rohit Shamra's men looked settled with all batters in top form and every bowler breathing fire.

However, Shubman Gill is a doubtful starter and is all but out of the opening game due to illness. It is a body blow considering the opening batter was the highest run-getter in ODIs in 2023.

But India has a strong bench strength to fall up and Ishan Kishan open the batting in his absence.

Moreover, with the track in Chennai known to favour the spinners, India is likely to go ahead with all 3 turners; Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.

Despite home conditions in favour, India has had mixed results in Chennai lately. They have lost 3 of their last 5 ODIs at this ground. With their last loss at the Chepauk coming against the Aussies in March this year.
