Despite the absence of senior players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj, the in-form Indian team aims to create history by securing a whitewash victory against the Kangaroos at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, Gujarat. India has never achieved a whitewash against Australia in the ODI format, and Rohit Sharma’s squad is determined to change that narrative. In the second ODI in Indore, India triumphed over Australia by a commanding 99-run margin. Shreyas Iyer earned the Player of the Match accolade for his outstanding century, contributing to India posting an imposing total of 399 runs.
