The former Indian chief selector’s top order features Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer, with KL Rahul taking the wicketkeeper-batter role at number five. Srikkanth has picked three all-rounders in the middle order to provide balance, and they are Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Washington Sundar.
Srikkanth has slotted the spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar at number eight, following India’s strategy to strengthen batting depth while maintaining bowling options for the three-match ODI series opener between India and Australia in Perth.
The former Indian chief selector wants to use Nitish Kumar Reddy as a third seamer alongside Siraj and Prasidh. Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel, “If you look at the trend, they are playing with eight batters. The number eight should also be able to bat. If you are thinking of batting till eight, Washington Sundar should be the automatic choice. I will still play Sundar at eight, Kuldeep at nine, and Siraj and Prasidh Krishna at ten and eleven. I will use Nitish as the third seamer and still go with three spinners.”
India will miss Jasprit Bumrah in the ODI series, says Kris Srikkanth
He added, “By any chance if it is a juicy wicket, there is Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc; they have a more experienced pace attack. Bumrah is going to be a big miss for us, so we will be dependent on Siraj and Prasidh.

He signed off by saying, “Arshdeep has done no wrong, but the problem is with the combination. Why not Prasidh over Arshdeep? This is not T20. This is ODI. Prasidh can get extra bounce in Australian wickets.”
