Shubman Gill-led India will face Mitchell Marsh's Australia in the third and final ODI of the three match-series at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday, October 25. India trail 0-2 in the three-match ODI series after defeats in Perth and Adelaide.
With the series already lost, India will look to avoid a whitewash and might make a couple of changes to try out different combinations or give chances to players who haven't played. Changes are expected to bolster the spin attack and pace options, with Kuldeep Yadav widely tipped to return after being benched in the first two games.
Here's India's predicted Playing XI for 3rd ODI against Australia:
1. Rohit Sharma
2. Shubman Gill (Captain)
3. Virat Kohli
4. Shreyas Iyer
5. Axar Patel
6. KL Rahul (Wicket-Keeper)
7. Nitish Kumar Reddy
Emerging seam-bowling all-rounder will provide balance and depth in the lower order. In absence of injured Hardik Pandya, Reddy hasn't been able to capitalise on his chances in the first two matches and will look to create an impact in both departments during the 3rd ODI against Australia in Sydney on Saturday, October 25.

8. Kuldeep Yadav
India are likely to make a key change in the 3rd ODI against Australia in Sydney on Saturday, October 25, bringing in wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav for finger spinner Washington Sundar. Kuldeep, who didn't get the opportunity to play in the first two matches, has been in red- hot form in the last few months and will be key for India on Saturday. (Pic credit: IANS)

10. Arshdeep Singh
