India's performance against Australia has been great in bowling terms as Ravindra Jadeja, Jaspreet Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav's performance helped India stop the Australian power hitters inside 200 runs. However, in terms of batting the opening half had a poor performance as the team depended on the innings from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. India are still without their star opener Shubman Gill, who is down with dengue and Ishan Kishan is filling his position for the time being. India has a strong middle order having the likes of Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya and will be continuing with the same order for the upcoming match.

Every bowler demonstrated their skills in the IND vs AUS ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match. The bowlers who had the most success were Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav,who took two wickets each and Ravindra Jadeja, who each took three wickets. Additionally, Mohammed Siraj, Hardik Pandya, and Ravichandran Ashwin also secured one wicket each. So India will mostly likely carry on with the same bowling line-up ahead of their upcoming match against Afghanistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

India Likely Playing XI vs Australia: Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (Wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.
