The Indian team suffered from a disappointing loss in the T20I series against Australia a couple of days ago. The Aussies whitewashed the two-match T20I game and proved their dominance into the format. It was Glenn Maxwell’s century that actually took away the match from the hosts and the series stood at 2-0. Now, Virat Kohli and men have begun practising for the upcoming ODIs which is slated to start tomorrow at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Virat Kohli & India Look for Fringe Benefits Against Australia in ODI Series Before World Cup 2019 (Preview).
The team today, was seen sweating it out in the nets and looked extremely determined to turn around the results in the ODIs. With the World Cup 2019 just a few games away, the Indian team would surely want to tie up the loose ends of the game. The pictures of the Indian team hitting the nets were shared online on various social media platforms. Check out a few of them below.
Here’s the first one shared by the BCCI.

Hitman Rohit Sharma in the nets.
Talking about the first ODI, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant could stay in the playing XI. KL Rahul who did extremely well T20I series would be quite an obvious choice. Whereas, the onus is on Rishabh Pant to make the most of the opportunities given to him. Hardik Pandya who has come back from an injury could make a comeback, which means Vijay Shankar could be excluded.
