India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of the last two ODIs against Australia because of a viral fever. Tejal Hasabnis has been named her replacement. Providing the update on Wednesday shortly before the toss in the second ODI in New Chandigarh, the BCCI said its medical team is monitoring Rodrigues.

Rodrigues was in India's XI in the first ODI, which India lost by eight wickets. She scored 18 runs off 26 balls from No. 5 as India put up 281 for 7. Arundhati Reddy , the fast-bowling allrounder, replaced Rodrigues in India's XI for the game on Wednesday.

A 28-year-old middle-order batter, Hasabnis has been around the national team since last year, making her ODI debut - the only format she has played internationally - in October 2024 in Ahmedabad against New Zealand.
