India's star middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer's recurring back injury has reportedly forced him to miss IND vs AUS ODIs.

While Suryakumar Yadav is the top contender to replace Iyer in India XI, let's see top 4 players who can take his spot in India's ODI squad.

Iyer's injury might be the perfect opportunity for Sanju Samson to cement his place in India's ODI team. The RR skipper has scored 330 runs and has an average of 66.0 in just 11 ODI matches for India.

Deepak Hooda, the talented '3-D' spin all-rounder, has made impact manier times with his performances in shortest format. He is yet to showcase his all-round skills in 50-over cricket.

Rajat Patidar's current form in domestic cricket and his ability to bat remarkably well against spin bowling makes him a perfect replacement of Shreyas Iyer as a middle-order batsman.

Rahul Tripathi's aggressive style of batting and his ability to score quick runs makes him one of the frontrunners to replace Shreyas Iyer in India's ODI squad vs Australia.
