  Rohit Sharma: The conditions are there for the bowlers, slightly on the slower side. We need to understand our lines and lengths early. We've played a lot of cricket before the WC, played two good series' and covered all our bases. He (Shubman Gill) hasn't recovered in time. Ishan comes in to replace him, he will open the batting.

  Pat Cummins: We'll bat first, looks like a good wicket. Sun is out, good opportunity to bat. We are in a good spot, we've played a lot over the last month. Travis Head isn't here, Abbott and Josh Inglis miss out.

  India vs Australia, Live Score: Focus on Ashwin

  Ravichandran Ashwin was added to the Indian team at the last minute due to Axar Patel's confirmed injury.

In fact, Warner had resorted to batting right-handed against Ashwin during the second ODI, but unfortunately, he met his downfall in the process.
