Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the high-profile World Cup clash at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. India made one change with ill Shubman Gill missing out and Ishan Kishan opening. The venue has witnessed classics and promises an exciting chapter in the iconic rivalry if weather permits. India boasts a formidable lineup led by in-form Rohit Sharma and featuring Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and others. Their strong bowling attack is led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin. Australia has a potent bowling unit including Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa. Their batting too appears solid with Warner, Labuschagne, and Smith in good nick.
