Australia and India kicked off their ODI World Cup campaigns with a blockbuster encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
Rohit Sharma took on the role of captaincy for India in an ODI World Cup for the first time during this edition.
Shubman Gill, one of India's key openers, won't be available for the contest against Australia. He has been ruled out after contracting dengue fever. This absence places even more responsibility on Rohit Sharma, who is the other opener in the team.
