IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Australia win toss, opt to bowl against India

Australia skipper Steve Smith won the toss and elected to field first against India, with home captain Rohit Sharma back for the second one-day international on Sunday.

The tourists, who lost the opener of the three-match series, have made two changes in Visakhapatnam, which has seen overnight rain and more expected through the day.

Nathan Ellis comes in for Glenn Maxwell, who has pulled up a “bit sore”, and wicketkeeper Alex Carey is back for Josh Inglis.

India’s all-format skipper Rohit missed the opener due to personal reasons and returns to replace opener Ishan Kishan as the hosts look to clinch the three-match series.

Spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel comes in for fast bowler Shardul Thakur.

The two teams are warming up for the ODI World Cup in India later this year.
