India is ready for an important challenge by launching a series of three ODI matches against Australia from September 14th. More than just another bilateral competition will serve the series as the final Indian preparation for the upcoming World Women’s Cup, which is to start on September 30.
The team has just completed the training camp in Visakhapatnam, one of the World Cup places where players worked on the fine -tuning of their skills. Indian groups, led by Harmanpreet Kaur and Vice President of Mandhan, have an experience in the Indian team with a new talent, names such as Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues and young, such as Pratika Rawal and Sayali Satghare who long for impact.
This series comes with big questions for the team. Recent strong performances of India, including record sums at the beginning of this year, showed a promise. But against Australia, they will need more than flashlights.
For HarmanPreet and her team is not just a victory in the series – the point is to prove that they are ready to question the World Championship at home.
Here are questions that India must answer in the upcoming VS Australia series
Form and Fitness Renuka Singh

Renuka Singh has long been considered an Indian pace of Spearhead, a pitch capable of reversing matches with a clear pace and accuracy. However, as the World Championship is approaching, its return from long -term release adds an element of intrigue. Speedster recently recovered from a fracture of stress, injury suffered in representing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Women’s Premier League.
This year, Renuka lacked on the international scene, missing the Irish series, Tri-series in Sri Lanka and a challenging tour of England. For a pitcher, whose impact often comes in an intensity explosion, six months after the competing cricket is significant. While her talent is unquestioned, she challenges the persistence of how quickly she can regain the rhythm and sharpness in the field.
Yet, if her record has a lot to go, Renuka has a talent for jumping back stronger. The world will carefully monitor whether the Indian pace of the weapon is ready to fire at a full throttle when it matters most.
Efficiency Kranti Gouda on Indian Playgrounds

Kranti Goud invaded the international scene at the beginning of this year and debuted ODI and T20i during the Sri Lanka series in May. Yet it is up to foreign soil that Speedster UP Warriorz really announced.
In the ODI series against England, she claimed nine goals in just three games, including a remarkable six-member raid on the Riverside land in Chester-le-Street, which is her ability to rattle even the most successful dough.
But the questions remain back home. Krants still have to be tested on Indian playgrounds at the international level, where conditions and reflection may vary. If India is serious about becoming regular in the team before the Women’s World Cup, the upcoming series of three matches against Australia is a key opportunity.
In the face of a world -class line -up that Kranti stretches out any pitch, she will have a chance to prove that her pace and accuracy can be smoothly translated into domestic conditions.
Uma cheetry trial

Incorporating UMA Chetry into the Indian World Cup group has raised a lot of debates. Originally overlooked, Assam-Branker-Bater found only her way after Yastika Bhatia has been pushed out by injury to his left knee During the preparatory camp in Visag. What lifted even more eyebrows was her choice before Shafali Verma-proven game changer despite its uneven form in cricket.
On the paper, the cheths seem modest. He still has to debut ODI and in the T20is only 37 runs out of seven matches on average 9.25. Her reputation as a domestic cricket is largely based on the T20 exploitation, where her ability was purely, although the consistency remains a question.
Therefore, the upcoming series against Australia brings so much weight. Although it is clear that cheetches were designed primarily as the subconscious of Rich Ghosh’s goal, India cannot afford to transfer passengers to the World Cup campaign.
A few more games will be the perfect test of the litmus to see if cheetches have peace and skill to justify its surprising call-and maybe silence its doubter.
