IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Check predicted playing 11, live streaming details here

K L Rahul, who took the gloves in Pant's absence during Australia innings, is likely to retain his place, but as wicket keeper in India playing 11

India cricket team will look to leave behind the 10-wicket drubbing and level the three-match series when they host the Australia cricket team in the second One Day International (ODI) at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot on Friday. Team India will be without wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who suffered a concussion during his 28-run inning. Pant was struck on the helmet by a ferocious bouncer bowled by leading pacer Pat Cummins in the first ODI. K L Rahul, who took the gloves in his absence in Australia's innings, is likely to get selected as wicket keeper in India playing 11.

However, it still remains to be seen where Rahul will bat. In Mumbai, he was slotted at No 3 and Virat Kohli came at No 4, which the Indian skipper himself felt didn't augur well for the team. On the other hand, the visitors would simply want to replicate the performance and would be unwilling to make any changes to their playing 11.
