The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia batted first and scored 374 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 50 overs. Thanks to David Warner and Steve Smith for their century. Team India bowlers have been severely defeated in this game and spin bowlers have been particularly targeted by Australian batsmen. Earlier, Team India had named Mayank Agarwal as the opener in the first ODI while Virat Kohli played Hardik Pandya in Manish Pandey’s eleven matches. Pandya’s presence in the playing XI doesn’t attract many former players. Former cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar suggested Manish Pandey instead of Pandya.

Sanjay Manjrekar had revealed his eleven matches before the start of the ODI series in which he retained Manish Pandey and Hardik Pandya was not included in his squad. In answer to this question, Manjrekar asked, ‘Is the batsman of Hordic 50 over cricket pure? Without checking in, I go with Manish Pandey, a batsman who used and tested it. Who is the pure batsman of 50 overs? I do not think he has any hope of proving himself. If they could bowl five overs, surely they were on my team.
Sanjay Manjrekar will replace Mayank Agarwal in his squad for the first ODI, replacing Ravindra Jadeja with Kuldeep Yadav. In addition to writing the name of Kuldeep Yadav, Virat Kohli has written that he will select Jadeja in the playing XI.
