After sealing the 8th Asia Cup title, Team India has returned home from Sri Lanka. The Men in Blue registered a thumping ten-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the final last Sunday.
They are now gearing up to face Australia in a three-match ODI series on their home ground. This series is important for India as they gear up for the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023, which will be contested on Indian soil from October 5.
On Monday, the BCCI made an official announcement regarding the squad that will represent India in the series against Australia.
In a strategic move, captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and the in-form spinner Kuldeep Yadav have been rested for the initial two games. KL Rahul has been entrusted with the leadership role for these games, after which Rohit will resume captaincy duties in the third and final ODI.

A tournament to remember for Rohit
The Asia Cup journey for Rohit went beyond securing the title. The 36-year-old cricket stalwart amassed an impressive total of 194 runs in five innings, maintaining an exceptional average of 48.50 and notching up three well-deserved half-centuries.
The right-hander’s stellar form is a promising sign for his team as they gear up for the ICC Cricket World Cup, one of the most prestigious multi-nation cricket event. His leadership and outstanding performance will be one of the keys for India in the upcoming tournament.
