Australian all-rounder Cooper Connolly might turn out to be the surprise package against India in the ODI series. The 22-year-old player has been impressive in his limited outings in international as well as domestic cricket. The left-hander had a breakthrough BBL season last year, amassing 351 runs in 10 innings with the help of two half-centuries. The left-arm spinner also bagged six wickets.
Conolly returned with figures of 5/22 against South Africa in his last ODI as Australia won the game by 276 runs. The youngster recently performed with the bat during the Australia A tour of India. The Perth-born cricketer scored 70 runs in his first of the two first-class games and then piled up 33, 50*, and 64 in the One Day series.
