ఆస్ట్రేలియాతో టీ20 సిరీస్ కోల్పోయిన భారత్.. వన్డేలపై దృష్టి పెట్టింది. ప్రపంచకప్కు ముందు జరిగే ఆఖరి సిరీస్ ఇదే. టీం బ్యాటింగ్ ఆర్డర్, తుది జట్టు ఎంపికలో ఈ సిరీస్ ముఖ్యపాత్ర పోషించనుంది. బలాబలాలు, ప్రయోగాలకూ ఇదే చివరి అవకాశం.

రిషబ్ పంత్, విజయ్ శంకర్లు తమ స్థానాలు పదిలం చేసుకోవాలని భావిస్తున్నారు. టీ20ల్లో సత్తాచాటిన రాహుల్ వన్డే సిరీస్లోనూ నిలకడగా రాణించాలని జట్టు ఆశిస్తోంది.

రాహుల్ మూడోస్థానంలో బ్యాటింగ్కు దిగితే కోహ్లీ నాలుగో స్థానంలో ఆడాల్సి వస్తుంది. కోచ్ రవిశాస్త్రి ఈ విషయమై స్పష్టతనిచ్చాడు. కోహ్లీ నాలుగో స్థానంలో ఆడతాడని.. ఒక్క స్థానం దిగువన రావడం వల్ల ఇబ్బందేమీ ఉండదని స్పష్టం చేశాడు

మాక్స్వెల్ను బ్యాటింగ్ ఆర్డర్లో ముందుకు పంపాలని అనుకుంటోంది ఆసీస్ జట్టు. టీ20 సిరీస్లో ఏడో స్థానంలో దిగి రెచ్చిపోయిన ఈ విధ్వంసకర బ్యాట్స్మెన్ను వన్డేల్లో ముందుకు పంపిస్తామని కెప్టెన్ ఫించ్ తెలిపాడు.

వన్డేల్లో చివరి స్థానాల్లో బ్యాటింగ్ చేయడం కష్టమని.. నాలుగు, ఐదు స్థానాల్లో కొంచెం ఆత్మవిశ్వాసంతో బరిలోకి దిగొచ్చని మాక్స్వెల్ తెలిపాడు.
శనివారం నాడు హైదరాబాద్ ఉప్పల్ స్టేడియంలో జరిగే తొలి వన్డేతో కంగారూలతో సిరీస్ ప్రారంభం అవుతుంది.

RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY
SHOTLIST:
POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska - 28 February 2019
1. SOUNDBITE (English) US President Donald Trump:
"We just took over, you kept hearing it was 90 percent, 92 percent, the caliphate in Syria. Now it's 100 percent we just took over, 100 percent caliphate. That means the area, the land, we just have 100 percent. We did that in a much shorter period of time than it was supposed to be. It was supposed to take, I won't tell you what a certain general told me. But I went and met a couple of other generals and I said 'how long do you think it could take, general?' 'One week, sir.' 'One week? I heard two years.' 'One week, sir. Let us do it the way we want to do it.' I said 'General, do it.' And you saw what happened, right? Everybody saw. We have the whole thing."
STORYLINE:
President Donald Trump asserted on Thursday that the Islamic State group has lost 100 percent of the territory it once controlled in Syria, but US officials in Washington and accounts from people in Syria said a sliver of land remains contested.
Trump made his statement to troops in Alaska during a refuelling stop on his way home from meeting, in Vietnam, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
He noted that IS has been on the verge of losing its entire so-called caliphate in Syria for many months.
"Now it's 100 percent we just took over, 100 percent," he said, adding, "The area, the land, we just have 100 percent. We did that in a much shorter period of time than it was supposed to be."
When asked about Trump's comments, the Pentagon referred reporters to the White House.
Trump has jumped the gun on IS before. He said on Feb. 15 that "the eradication" of the IS caliphate would be announced within 24 hours. It was not, and although Pentagon officials remain confident that IS is on the brink of defeat, the struggle is not over.
U.S. and other western countries are backing a Syrian group known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, comprised of local Kurdish and Arab fighters, who have battled IS for more than three years.
According to a U.S. assessment, IS fighters and civilian residents are on in a small sliver of land along the Euphrates River. Officials say military operations have paused in order to separate civilians from the IS militants in that area.
The SDF does biometric checks on all adult-aged males to determine if they are IS fighters hiding in the population that is fleeing. Officials said that military operations to clear out the remaining IS fighters will likely restart soon and will probably take some time.
Iraqi militias said Thursday they launched dozens of missiles targeting IS militants holed up in a Syrian village across the border. This is the area along the Euphrates that has been IS's last stand.
Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has characterized IS in Syria as on the brink of defeat, while cautioning that measures are required to prevent its revival and return to areas of Iraq and Syria that have been liberated since 2014.
In December, Trump announced that he was pulling all American troops out of Syria, but last week he partially reversed course and agreed to keep a residual force of perhaps a few hundred troops as part of an international effort to stabilize northeastern Syria.
