New Delhi, Team India will take the field today for the last series before the ODI World Cup 2023. The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be played in Mohali today. Both teams are ready for this. However, the special thing is that both the teams will be without some of their big and winning players. Australia's Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell will not be able to play today's match, captain Pat Cummins had made it clear a day before. Team India will be without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, all of them have been rested for the first two matches. Today's match is also important because two big players of Team India can be seen playing together after almost six years.

The pair of Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin can be seen together in ODI

Indian team all-rounder Axar Patel was injured during Asia Cup 2023, hence he is out of the first two matches. In his place, the selection committee has returned Ravichandran Ashwin to the team. He is making a comeback in the Indian ODI team after almost two years. He played his last ODI match in January 2022, at that time there was a match against South Africa. Ravindra Jadeja is already in the team and he will be seen performing the responsibility of vice-captain under the captaincy of KL Rahul for the first two matches. If these two players play together in the playing eleven, then it will happen after about six years that both the players will be seen together in ODI. Earlier, both these players had played together in the final of the Champions Trophy in 2017. Then the final was played between India and Pakistan and Team India had to face defeat by a big margin.

The pair of Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja is number one in Test

Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin may not have played together in ODIs for a long time, but their pair has been a superhit in Tests. If they are fit then these two spinners are the first choice. There is a possibility of these two playing together because on one hand Ravindra Jadeja is the vice-captain of the team, while on the other hand the Team India management would like to see Ravichandran Ashwin's edge once again in ODIs. But only when captain KL Rahul comes out for the toss will it be decided whether these two will be seen together or we will have to wait for a few more days.
