India vs Australia 2017: India's predicted playing XI for second ODI

Middle order

In a rare phenomenon in the first ODI, Indian skipper Virat Kohli got out for a duck when he tried to chase a wide delivery and was brilliantly caught by Glenn Maxwell at backward point. Kohli has been mediocre against Australia this year and will look to get things back on track by scoring big in the second ODI.

Just like Kohli, Manish Pandey got out for a duck in Chepauk and that would have dented his chances of cementing his place in the middle order. However, he will get an extended run at number 4 and the Karnataka batsman, who is in fine touch, will look to make the chances count in the upcoming ODIs.

Before the start of the year, there was a lot of talk about MS Dhoni's future, as his form looked to be regressing over the last couple of years. But, the former Indian skipper has silenced the critics in the best possible way in the last few matches. He will look to continue his good work in the upcoming matches.

Kedar Jadhav, after bringing India's innings back on track with a couple of decent partnerships with Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni, threw away his wicket. He will be disappointed with himself for getting out in such a manner and will look to make up for the dismissal in the upcoming matches.
