India tinkered again with their batting order by including all three openers in the playing XI in the first ODI against Australia at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. In Pune, in the final game of the best-of-three T20I series against Sri Lanka last week that preceded the current ODI rubber, skipper Virat Kohli had batted as low as No. 6.

On Tuesday, all three in the running for the openers' slots—Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul— were included and batted in the same order.
This was already hinted by Kohli in the pre-game media conference on Monday.
