India's strongest ODI playing XI for Australia tour

Middle order - Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav and Virat Kohli

Kohli is the best player in the team and there is no one better than the right-hander in ODIs. The world's premier batsman across all formats, captain Virat Kohli, will walk out at the number three spot to handle the flow of the game and dictate terms to the oppositions.

Kedar Jadhav last played an ODI for India on 7 February 2018 against South Africa, and it is highly likely that he might get into the Indian ODI side. Jadhav is a good middle-order batsman and his off-breaks are quite handy too. The Karnataka batsman, KL Rahul, will be eager to perform and secure his place in the side. He could be the no 4 batsmen which India are looking for.
