IND vs AUS Live: “Credit goes to everyone” – Rohit
“Till the last ball is bowled, nothing is certain. At the halfway stage, we felt like it’s a reasonable score. The nature of the pitch doesn’t allow you play your shots. We were clinical with the bat. We were calm and composed in our chase. Looked better (pitch). Slightly played better than the one against NZ. It’s about playing good cricket. There are a lot of experienced guys. That’s something I wanted to have – six bowling options and at the same get that batting depth as well. Credit goes to everyone who were involved in making the team. He’s done it for so many years. When we wee batting, we were calm. Those shots in the end by Hardik were crucial,” said Rohit Sharma.

India vs Australia Live: ‘We could have got a few more’ – Smith
“I thought the bowlers did a really good job, they worked hard throughout, the spinners squeezed and took the game deep. It was a tricky wicket to start on batting, tough to rotate the strike, everyone did a really good job tonight. It played pretty similar throughout. Little bit of hold for the spinners, little bit of spin and a bit of skid. For the pacers, it was two-paced. We probably could have got a few more on. We lost a couple of wickets at crucial times. If we got 280+, things would have been different. Felt like we were one wicket too many down at each stage of the game. The way we’ve come together. The bowling unit did a wonderful job, some of the batters stood up. We played exceptionally well against England. Some really good cricketers, they are going to get bigger and better,” said Australia captain Steve Smith.

IND vs AUS Live: Virat named Player of the Match!
“It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. It is about understanding the conditions and rotating the strike because partnerships on its pitch are important. it all depends on the conditions and then I play my innings. My timing, my composure at the crease, I wasn’t rushed. The singles that I took was the most pleasing part for me. This game is all about pressure. If you go deep into the game, the opposition usually give in. It is important to control your impulses. Even if the RR is six an over, I am not bothered. [Best he has ever played?] I don’t know. That is up to you guys to break down. I have never focused on those things. When you don’t think of those milestones, they happen. If I get to the three-figure mark, great, but the win is important. For me, those things don’t matter anymore,” said Kohli after the game.

“Was anyway looking to bat first, wanted to see what we could do upfront and then challenge our bowlers since we chased on both games. Approach will be very similar to the previous games, just trying to do the same things. One change for us – Harshit has been rested, Varun is playing for us.

“The leg side is shorter for the right handers, and it is a longer hit down the ground. Great weather out here, it is just 24 degrees.

The economy rate of the spinners are better, but pacers have picked more wickets,” reckon Simon Doull and Dinesh Karthik.

IND vs NZ Live: India’s tough challenge against NZ
India do not have very fond memories of facing Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips in a Test series at home late last year, which they lost 0-3, and now they have Bracewell too to tackle.

So, the effectiveness of Shubman Gill, India’s standout batter in ODIs of late, batting icon Virat Kohli, who made a morale-boosting 100 against Pakistan, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul against them will have a telling impact on the outcome of the game.

India vs England Live: Pitch report
“Traditionally, this hasn’t been a high-scoring ground, the reason being the dimensions. 69m and 68m square boundaries, 75m straight boundary. We’re playing on a red-soil pitch and it looks good for batting. It’s rock hard, there’s a bit of grass, but there’s no moisture and it’s dry. Not a lot in it for the bowlers, but this being a red soil pitch, spin will come into play later on. It’s a good cricket pitch and a high score can be expected.”

India vs England Live: Pant or Rahul?
KL Rahul, who kept wickets in Rishabh Pant’s absence during the 2023 World Cup, performed admirably, scoring 452 runs and proving to be one of India’s most consistent middle-order batters. His stability has been instrumental in creating a formidable ODI setup, but his strike rotation in the middle overs remains a concern. On the other hand, the left-handed Pant offers variety in India’s right-hand dominated top order. Additionally, his unpredictability, raw power, and ability to clear with breathtaking ease make him the X-factor.

India vs England Live: Who will keep wickets for India?
One of the grey areas is the wicket-keeper’s slot. Who among KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant should get the nod for the playing XI? With skipper Rohit and his deputy Shubman Gill likely to open, followed by Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya, the wicketkeeper-batter is likely to slot in at number five.

India vs England Live: Last chance for Rohit, Kohli
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the top two run-getters of the 2023 World Cup with Kohli scoring 765 and Rohit smashing 597.
