Canberra, <keyword id="10378287" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="australia-skipper-aaron-finch">Australia skipper Aaron Finch</keyword> on Friday won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Manuka Oval. D'Arcy Short will open the innings alongside Finch, the Australia skipper informed. "It's been quite a big build-up anyway (for the T20 World Cup). We don't have many changes, Short opens the batting, (Matthew) Wade bats at three," Finch said. The Australian team is wearing an indigenous jersey to pay tribute to country's indigenous people. The jersey has been designed by Kirrae Whurrong woman Aunty Fiona Clarke, great great-grand daughter of Grongarrong (Mosquito), who was one of the members of the team that played in England in 1868, designed the original Walkabout Wickets artwork that will feature on the front of the playing shirt. It has been co-designed by Courtney Hagen, Butchulla and Gubbi Gubbi woman and <keyword id="44302" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket-Australia">Cricket Australia</keyword>'s Indigenous Engagement Specialist. "It's a phenomenal design, grateful to be able to wear it (the indigenous kit)," the Australian captain said while talking about the kit. For India, left-arm pacer T Natarajan is making his <keyword id="754653" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20I-debut">T20I debut</keyword>. "Its' a great chance to have a look at a few guys.

He looked composed in the third ODI. There was a reason I went to him," he added.

India vs Australia 1st T20: Australia choose to bowl, Natarajan makes debut

Adelaide, <keyword id="2600300" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="India-skipper-Virat-Kohli">India skipper Virat Kohli</keyword> on Wednesday said that <keyword id="51784" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ajinkya-Rahane">Ajinkya Rahane</keyword> will lead the side well in his absence in the last three Tests of the four-match series against <keyword id="6355478" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="australia">Australia</keyword> as the template is set and everyone in the <keyword id="4535" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="team">team</keyword> is aware of their roles. Kohli will return to India after the end of the first Test that begins Thursday to attend the birth of his child. Vice-captain Rahane will step in to lead the side in the last three Tests. The Mumbai batsman led the team in the two warm-up games against Australia A. Kohli, who called leading the team a collective effort and not just him strategising in front of people, added that both he and Rahane have a mutual understanding which is based on trust. "Firstly we have had mutual understanding and respect over the years. We have had great partnerships batting together which is based on trust and understanding of what needs to be done for the team. Jinx (Rahane) has done a tremendous job in the two practice games that have happened. He seems to be very composed and knows the strengths of our team and how we need to go about things," said Kohli on the eve of the first Test at the Adelaide Oval. "Actually, the way we have played our <keyword id="1521" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket">cricket</keyword> has been a collective effort of the whole team. It is a cultural effort and not only down to me strategising in front of people. It is the whole team that is important to it. We already know the template that we play with and how we want to go about things," he added. Rahane has earlier led India twice in Test cricket -- once against Australia in Dharamsala and other against Afghanistan in Bengaluru . On both the occasions, India had emerged victorious. Kohli said that both he and Rahane are "absolutely on the same page" and exuded confidence that the middle-order batsman will do a tremendous job in leading the side in his absence. "But the focus remains, till the time I am here, to be able to do captaincy and leadership and batsmanship to the best of my abilities. From thereon I am pretty sure that Jinx will do a tremendous job. I have said this previously that this is the time to step up and strongly perform as captain and individual," said Kohli. "I think he will do a good job when I am back home. The vision remains to put in good in performances and make sure we are on the same page and that we are competing every game," he added.

India vs Australia 1st ODI: Australia wins the toss, opts to bat against India at Sydney Cricket Ground

Sydney, Right-handed batsman <keyword id="6355454" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="kl-rahul">KL Rahul</keyword> has been ruled out of the remaining two <keyword id="49447" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="tests">Tests</keyword> of the ongoing four-match series against <keyword id="6355478" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="australia">Australia</keyword> and will fly home after he sprained his left wrist while batting in the nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. A statement from the Indian cricket board (BCCI) on Tuesday said, "KL Rahul sprained his left wrist while batting in the nets at the MCG during <keyword id="4169" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Team-India">Team India</keyword>'s practice session on Saturday. The wicketkeeper-batsman will not be available for the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he will need about three weeks' time to recover completely and regain full strength." "He will now return to <keyword id="3658" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> and head to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for further rehabilitation of his injury," the statement added. Though part of both the white ball and red ball squads, Rahul was kept on the bench for the first two Tests. He was likely to play the third Test starting Thursday, either in place of Mayank Agarwal as opener or instead of Hanuma Vihari in the middle-order. His injury comes as another blow for Team India who have already been weakened by the absence of pacers <keyword id="967087" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mohammed-Shami">Mohammed Shami</keyword> and Umesh Yadav and regular skipper Virat Kohli. While Shami and Umesh returned to India to recuperate from injuries they suffered during the ongoing Test series, Kohli returned home after first Test to attend the birth of his first child. The four-match series is currently tied at 1-1 with Australia winning the first Test in Adelaide while India registering a win in the second in Melbourne.

India vs Australia: KL Rahul ruled out from remaining tests in Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to wrist injury

Former Indian cricketer <keyword id="1518" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="irfan-pathan" source="Orion">Irfan Pathan</keyword> has questioned the sudden inclusion of off-break spinner <keyword id="200030" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravichandran-ashwin" source="Orion">Ravichandran Ashwin</keyword> in the Indian ODI series against Australia starting from September 22, ahead of the <keyword id="22177" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="world-cup" source="Orion">World Cup</keyword>. Ashwin who hasn't been part of the Indian ODI squad for a long time, played his last ODI match in January 2022 against South Africa. Talking to Star Sports, Irfan Pathan felt that there was a lack of planning and that Ashwin should have been given more chances. "You get a better spinner than Ashwin in the entire world. But in a tournament as big as the World Cup, where there is immense pressure, you can't expect a senior player to walk in and play for the team in a format which he hasn't played for a long time and prove his worth. So you are leaving it entirely to fate. There is no planning here. Had there been a plan for Ashwin, they should have given him some game time before the World Cup. Yes, he will be playing against Australia, but is that enough? You have to bowl for 10 overs, adjust in the team as well, and give India that result. It isn't that easy. Planning should have been better," said Pathan. The decision to bring Ashwin back into the mix comes ahead of the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, which is set to commence next month. Ashwin was not selected in the provisional ODI World Cup squad, nor was part of the Asia Cup. However, with the injury of Axar Patel, Ashwin's potential return to the ODI format looks possible. Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selection for the BCCI, made a suggestion that Patel had a good chance of recuperating in time for the World Cup. But if Patel can't recover by the International Cricket Council's deadline on September 28, Ashwin might be a last-minute addition to the World Cup squad. Earlier in the press conference skipper <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword> also expressed confidence in Ashwin's abilities and stated that he is in continuous touch with him. Players like him don't need match-time to showcase their talent.

Irfan Pathan questions R Ashwin's selection in ODI series against Australia ahead of World Cup

India batter <keyword id="160354" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rinku-singh" source="Orion">Rinku Singh</keyword> credited his calm approach during pressure situations in the ongoing T20I series against Australia to playing in the Indian Premier League, while adding that doing a lot of weight training helps him play the big shots with ease. Rinku blazed away to a 29-ball 46, while <keyword id="229961" type="General" weightage="30" keywordseo="jitesh-sharma" source="Orion">Jitesh Sharma</keyword>, playing his first match in the series, smashed 35 in 19 balls as the hosts made a challenging 174 for nine before restricting Australia to 154/7 to help India take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match rubber. "Well I have been playing for a long time. I have been playing in the <keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ipl" source="Orion">IPL</keyword> for 5-6 years now. So, that has given me the confidence. I back myself, try to keep myself calm," said Rinku in a chat with Jitesh on BCCI.tv following the 20-run win here on Friday. Jitesh conceded he was under a lot of pressure when he came in to bat and marvelled at Rinku's composure. "It didn't look like that this was your (Rinku) first series. I was under a lot of pressure when I can in to bat, you were so calm, picking and choosing the ball to hit," Jitesh told Rinku. Wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh, who came in place of Ishan Kishan on Friday, also thanked Rinku for helping him keep calm. "You kept telling me to take it easy and not to take pressure," Jitesh told Rinku. Jitesh and Rinku played fine cameos when India were struggling at 111 for 4 in the 14th over. Rinku, asked about the secret behind his towering 100-metre sixes, said, he regularly goes to the gym. "I like lifting weights which gives me the power (strength)," said Rinku.

IPL has given me confidence to remain calm under pressure: Rinku Singh

As Indian batsman <keyword id="6354486" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli">Virat Kohli</keyword> scored 90 against Australia and breezed India to take lead in T20 series, there was someone apart from Indians who was excited. 
 
Umar Draz, resident of Okara district of Punjab province, who is an ardent fan of Virat Kohli, hoisted Indian National Flag at the rooftop of his house as India won the match. 
 
Draz was arrested by the police after someone filed a complaint that he hoisted the Indian flag. 
 
"We raided the house of Umar Draz and seized the Indian flag from his rooftop," Muhammad Jamil, a police official, said. 
 
Draz has been arrested against his misbehaviour under the Maintenance of Public Order. He was presented in court the same day and was remanded into police custody. 
 
"I am a big fan of Virat Kohli. I support the Indian team because of Kohli. Hoisting of Indian flag on the rooftop of house only shows my love for the Indian cricketer," Draz told reporters. 
 
Draz said he had no idea that he committed a crime and urged authorities to pardon him. He said he should be seen as "an Indian cricketer's fan and not as a spy". 
 
Poster size photographs of Kohli were also found pasted on the walls of his house.

While there have been calls to play <keyword id="1521" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket">cricket</keyword> matches behind closed doors, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has made it clear that the sport will have to take a back seat for the near future. It may not be possible for top-flight cricket in India to resume before the Coronavirus pandemic is brought under control. However, a few international tournaments have chosen to play behind closed doors. Bundesliga may be played in May, but it’s not possible to resume sports in India Popular German football league Bundesliga is expected to be the first major sporting event that will be played amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Discussions are being held to resume the league in May. Ganguly however said that the social reality of Germany and India is different and that there’s no point in playing cricket when there is a risk to human life. "The social reality of Germany and India are different, there will be no cricket in India in the near future. There are too many ifs and buts involved. More importantly, I don't believe in sport when there is a risk to human life," Ganguly told <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/112905/no-cricket-in-india-in-the-near-future-ganguly">TOI</a>. Ganguly’s comments indicate that IPL 2020 will be cancelled altogether dashing hopes for many Indians. “When IPL teams travel, there’s a huge crowd at the airports, hotels, outside the stadium. How are you going to stop them if you are looking to maintain social distancing? There should be no top-flight cricket till there is a vaccine for Covid-19,” said former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh. Sunil Gavaskar wants India to host the 2020 World Cup Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/icc-mens-t20-world-cup/sunil-gavaskar-proposes-t20-world-cup-swap-between-india-and-australia/articleshow/75270061.cms">suggested</a> that as Australia and India are supposed to host the 2020 and 2021 World Cups respectively, the two cricket boards should swap the tournaments if the situation is under control in India. "Next year the T20 World Cup is scheduled in India. If India and Australia come to an agreement and the Covid-19 curve in India flattens out, they can swap. It can be held in India this October-November and next year in Australia," he said. Earlier this week, a <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/coronavirus-cricket-australia-considering-five-match-test-series-against-india-2215670">report</a> revealed that Cricket Australia is considering adding a fifth test-match in the India vs Australia bilateral test series scheduled later this year.
