After a convincing win in the Hyderabad ODI, team India will be keen to continue their dominance over Australia when they take on them in the second ODI at VCA Stadium in Nagpur tomorrow. 

In the first ODI, India's performance with the ball was outstanding. Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav all picked up two wickets each and will look to carry their form. In batting Shikhar Dhawan's form is a little concern as he hasn't played a good innings since New Zealand series and looked out of touch in the last 4-5 matches.

Rohit Sharma and captain Virat Kohli got starts in the first match but both couldn't convert that into big innings and for a big score one of them have to play a big innings. In middle order MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav are in fantastic form and they'll look to do the job once again.

On the other hand, Australia's worry is captain Aaron Finch's form who has been struggling for runs for the last six months and once again they'll hope that he'll come back among runs in Nagpur. Usman Khawaja, Marcus Stoinis, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell all got starts but none of them could convert into a big innings and they also need to work on their strike rotation. In bowling, Nathan Coulter Nile and Adam Zampa had a good outing but new ball bowler Jason Behrendroff looked out of touch in Hyderabad and he has to strike with the new ball to put pressure on India. 

Team News -

- If India continue their rotation policy then Yuzvendra Chahal might come in for Kuldeep Yadav otherwise they'll probably unchanged for this ODI. 

- For Australia, Shaun Marsh will come back and he might replace Ashton Turner. 

Probable XI -

India - Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.

Australia - Aaron Finch (c), Usman Khawaja, Marcus Stoinis, Shaun Marsh, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey (wk), Nathan Coulter Nile, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa and Jason Behrendroff.
