Nagpur, October 27: Bolstered by the return of dashing Yuvraj Singh, India would look to wrest the initiative when they go into the second cricket one-dayer against Australia here tomorrow with the visitors being hit hard by injuries to three key players.
The home team sorely missed left-handed Yuvraj’s explosive batting in the middle overs as well as his left-arm slow bowling since he was forced out of cricket after sustaining a finger injury in South Africa before the Champions Trophy.
The hosts will also seek to exploit the injury-induced absence of Australian pacers Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson as well as all-rounder James Hopes who have been ruled out of the day-nigh encounter.
