Team India's road to the 2023 ODI World Cup began with a bang as Hardik Pandya's men beat Australia by 5 wickets in the 1st ODI at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
The hosts have now taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series. Put into ba, Australia lost opener Travis Head in the 2nd over, after which Mitchell Marsh's resilient 81 gave the Aussies some comfort.
However, 3 wickets each by Mohd. Shami and Mohd. Siraj derailed the Australian batting order as the Kangaroos were bowled out for a below-par 188.

India would look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series and also try to make amends with the bat, after they were in a spot of bother at 4/39, and later at 5/83, before Rahul and Jadeja came together at the crease to guide the hosts to victory with 61 balls to spare.
Rohit Sharma's return to captaincy duties will certainly give solidity to the top order, which crumbled to the pace and variations of Australian quick Mitchell Starc in the first encounter.
While not much should be read into Kohli and Gill's below-par scores in the first ODI, Suryakumar Yadav not being able to find his mojo in the 50-over format is a reason for concern.

England's white-ball coach Matthew Mott says he's hoping Ben Stokes can come out of ODI retirement and play for the Three Lions in the 50-over World Cup next year

And now, England's perennial crisis man is once again the talk of the town, with limited-overs coach Matthew Mott hopeful of convincing the all-rounder to take back his retirement from ODIs in order to play the 2023 World Cup.
Earlier this year in July, Stokes had announced his retirement from 50-overs cricket, citing players' burnout amidst the hectic scheduling.
The 31-year-old, who is England's current Test captain said that his body would not be able to perform at the highest level across all three formats and that he wanted to focus on leading the Test team and also give his best in T20Is.
However, Matthew Mott said that Stokes can be a very valuable asset to the team and he can always take back his retirement, but that was Stokes' decision to make. Mott also backed Stokes to do what was right for English cricket, hoping he can be on the plane to India next year for the marquee 50-over event.

Australian batter suggests 40-over matches to revive interest in ODIs

Australian batter Usman Khawaja feels that the ODIs should be reduced to 40 overs in order to make the contest more interesting.

Australian batter Usman Khawaja believes that for ODI cricket to survive in the future, the 50-over games should be reduced to 40-over contests.
With the ODIs fast losing popularity due to the ever-increasing growth of T20 cricket, the 35-year-old feels this change would make the format more attractive for the stakeholders.
"50 overs is just that little bit too long now. Take out that little middle bit, you'd get to 25 overs and you'd look up and 'oh crap, there's only 15 overs left, let's go again'," Khawaja said in an interview.
Khawaja said that he enjoyed playing 40-over games previously when he took part in England Cricket Board's 40 league and this corrective measure could really help revive ODI cricket again.

But I am satisfied with my contribution. Their bowlers were going about things nicely, Tabraiz Shamsi was a little expensive today so we felt we can target them," 27-year-old Samson said in the post-match press conference.
"We knew he would bowl the last over, I knew if I had to get 24 runs in the final over, I can hit four sixes. I was taking the game deep, the plan was this only and the batters responded nicely,"
The second ODI of the three-match series will be played at JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi on October 9.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has suggested to reduce the number of overs in ODI cricket from 50 to 40, in order to preserve the format. 
During a discussion on Fan Code, Shastri said that there is no harm in shortening the span of the game. When one-day cricket started, it was of 60 overs but people found 60 overs to be a bit too long. So it was reduced to 50. But it has stayed at 50 for too long and can be reduced to 40 now. 'You got to be forward-thinking and evolve,' added the former coach.
Many former cricketers and pundits have had their say as far as ODIs are concerned ever since Ben Stokes announced his retirement from the 50-over format due to a packed criciting calendar.

Ben Stokes' shocking retirement from ODIs has sparked a huge debate in the cricketing world over players being overburdened due to a packed cricketing calendar.&nbsp;
Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram also had his say and has urged cricket authorities to scrap one-day cricket from the calendar. During a chat with The Telegraph, the veteran pacer said that even as a commentator one-day cricket is just a drag now, especially after T20.&nbsp;
Akram feels that ODI cricket is dying due to the different T20 leagues around the world, which he believes is part and parcel of the modern cricket. 'It is quite tiring for a player to play one-day cricket. After T20, an ODI seems it is going for days,' added the 56-year-old.

India's legendary cricketer Virender Sehwag made a major revelation about his cricketing career and said that he was thinking of taking retirement after MS Dhoni dropped him from ODI Playing XI during the 2008 CB series in Australia.
While talking on a Cribuzz show, Sehwag said that Sachin Tendulkar stopped him at that time and asked him to go home, think hard and then make a decision on his career.
Notably, India won the CB series for the first time in 2008 when the Dhoni-led side defeated Australia in the best of three finals and Sehwag was not part of the Playing XI that won both the finals.
However, Sehwag had played a major role in the 2011 World Cup, when India lifted the ODI World Cup after 28 years.
Sehwag was regarded as one of the destructive openers in world cricket during his heydays. He scored in excess of 8000 runs in both Tests and ODIs.
