In a significant development, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first in the third and final ODI of the ongoing series against India. While Australia brought Nathan Ellis back for Xavier Bartlett, India made two key changes, replacing Nitish Reddy and Arshdeep Singh wiith Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna, respectively.
Why India excluded Nitish Reddy from XI for 3rd ODI?
As revealed by BCCI, ace all-rounder Nitish Reddy was unavailable for selection after sustaining a left quadriceps injury during the second ODI of the series at Adelaide Oval. Currently, the BCCI medical team is closely monitoring his progress.
