Regular skipper Rohit Sharma will be missing the first ODI due to personal reason and T20 captain Hardik Pandya will be leading the side in his place in Mumbai. Australia will be led by Steve Smith in the absence of regular skipper Pat Cummins, who is back home in Australia after the death of his mother last week.


Apart from Rohit, Team India will also miss the services of Shreyas Iyer, who is nursing a back injury and was unable to bat in the drawn fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad as well. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have not named any replacement yet for Iyer in the ODI series.


While the Indian batting lineup is expected to remain almost the same as the Test series apart from the addition of Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul in playing XI, the bowling attack may see some changes with likes of Umran Malik, Yuzvendra Chahal and all-rounder Washington Sundar also coming into contention.


The Australian side will see the return of David Warner and Ashton Agar into the side after returning home mid-way through the Test series. The ODIs will also see Glenn Maxwell return to action after a horrific fracture of his leg last year.
