India would be aiming for a historic whitewash against Australia as they look for the 3rd and final win at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The Men in Blue have been clinical and comprehensive in the first 2 ODIs and would be looking to emulate the same in the 3rd ODI.
The return of top-class players in the form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would heavily add confidence to the Indian cricket team. As the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is less than 2 weeks away, every single ODI game becomes of paramount importance.
For the Australians, it has been a string of poor performances, off-late. After succumbing to South Africa in 3 consecutive ODIs, the 5-times ICC ODI World Cup winners have lost two matches against India on the trot.
They would heave a sigh of relief as regular captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell are expected to be back for the 3rd and final ODI at Rajkot.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 vice-captain choices for the 3rd IND Vs AUS ODI at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium:
1. KL Rahul (India)
In the absence of Rohit Sharma, deputy skipper KL Rahul marshalled the Indian troops extremely well. The wicket-keeper batter is in form and has piled up 110 runs so far in the series.
He would be a great-choice vice-captain for your fantasy team in this game as he has the ability to single-handedly change the complexion of the game. KL Rahul has a mind-boggling average of 110 in the series and is certainly a player to watch out for in this game.
2. Adam Zampa (Australia)
The leading wicket-taker of Australia in this ODI series, Adam Zampa is in good form. The wily leg-spinner has bagged 3 wickets in this ODI series so far and is one of the key players in the Australian cricket team.
Zampa can spin the bamboozle the opposition batters with his skilful bowling prowess. Adam Zampa is most certainly an entertainer-in-chief and can stun the entire crowd at Rajkot with his deceptive bowling.
3. Virat Kohli (India)
After being rested for the first 2 ODIs, India’s very own entertained-in-chief, Virat Kohli will be featuring in the 3rd and final ODI of this series. One of the finest playmakers in this format, Kohli would be fantastic choice for the vice-captain for your fantasy team.
His numbers in ODI cricket are astonishing and he can single-handedly propel India to a victory in this game.
