The opener looked in fine form as he scored 83 to help the home side to an imposing 389-4 in the second one-dayer against the tourists at the Sydney Cricket Ground. A severe groin strain requires up to six weeks on the sidelines for recovery, which would rule Warner out of all but the final Test in the four-match series. Warner, who missed India's last tour Down Under while serving a ban for his part in the Newlands ball-tampering scandal, is one of the first names on the team sheet for Australia's Test team. India won their first ever Test series on Australian soil in the 2018–19 season when Warner and former captain Steve Smith, who scored a second successive century in Sunday's match, were banned. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis suffered a side injury in the first one-dayer on Friday and missed Sunday's match.
