India will be up for another test against pace when they take on Australia at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday.
Jaipur venue is known for being conducive to pacers as well as good enough for a run feast. Both of these are tailor-made for Australia who seem to have blossomed in their batting, while the bowling has been expectedly consistent with Clint McKay and the pace of Mitchell Johnson well co-ordinated by reliable all-rounders.
The team batting second on this pitch has won 11 out of the 18 One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
Batting second on the batsmen-friendly wicket has yielded favourable results. Will this trend continue? Can India make a comeback in the series? An interesting contest is on the cards.
Teams:
India: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, R Vinay Kumar, Ishant Sharma.
Australia: Aaron Finch, Phil Hughes, Shane Watson, George Bailey (c), Glenn Maxwell, Brad Haddin (wk), James Faulkner, Mitchell Johnson, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty.
