The Indian Cricket Team are set to tour Australia for a multi-format bilateral series. With the ODI scheduled to be played first, starting from 19th October, all eyes will be on the series, as India’s Ro-Ko, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will make a return to the national team after a 6-month break.
Apart from that, the change in captaincy - Shubman Gill replaces Rohit Sharma as ODI captain - will make the series even more exciting to watch.

Young Shubman Gill replaces Rohit Sharma as the new ODI captain of the Indian cricket team for the Australia series. After being named the Test skipper ahead of the England series in July-August, this will be the next big challenge for the 26-year-old batter.
The change of captaincy leads India to a new phase, with veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, on the verge of all-format retirement. On top of that, with the ODI World Cup to be played in 2027, India will hope to adjust to this change sooner rather than later.
