Seamers
Jasprit Bumrah
With Josh Hazlewood (No.1) and Mitchell Starc (No.3) not in the Australian ODI squad, Jasprit Bumrah who is in fourth spot in the ICC ODI bowlers rankings will be looking to continue his rise to the top. After a sensational ODI series against Sri Lanka, where he broke the world record for most wickets by a pacer in a five-match ODI series, Bumrah will be looking to continue that form against Australia and also breach the 50 wicket mark in ODIs.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
With his incredible variety and consistency, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has established himself as an integral part of the Indian ODI bowling line-up. Although the selectors will be looking at rotating the fast bowlers considering the busy schedule, after a series in which he picked up his career-best ODI figures and with India within touching distance of the No.1 ranking in ODIs, they will look to pick their best squad and that certainly includes the right-arm pacer.
Mohammed Shami
One major replacement for the Australia series is likely to happen in the pace bowling department. Shardul Thakur was given an opportunity against Sri Lanka but against Australia, India are likely to call upon the services of the experienced Mohammed Shami. The pacer is chasing Mitchell Starc's record of being the fastest to 100 ODI wickets and he will look to break that against Australia.
