Chasing a revised target, Warner played some wonderful strokes. He scored 53 off 39 balls before getting dismissed by Ashwin. His knock comprised seven boundaries and a six. You can rely on Warner to fetch you valuable points in the IND vs AUS clash in Rajkot.

KL Rahul has been scoring consistently for India since his return to the side. He has already hit two successive fifties in the ODI series so far and looks to be in a very good touch. The 31-year-old looked solid at the crease and played a handy knock in the high-scoring affair in Mohali.

Rahul hit three boundaries and as many sixes to score 52 off 38 balls before getting knocked over by Cameron Green. Rahul is a vital cog in the Indian batting lineup. With Shubman Gill being rested for the third ODI of the IND vs AUS series, you can bank on Rahul to score big.
