Upcoming visit to India ushers in a new era of leadership Shubman Gill takes over as full-time ODI captainWill replace Rohit Sharma. Both Rohit and Virat Kohli are making their much-awaited returns to the ODI setup after stepping away from the T20I and Test formats earlier this year. With the 2027 World Cup already around the corner, Gill’s captaincy and India’s team tactics are being closely watched. The team has a mix of youth and experience as young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy combine with experienced campaigners Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and returning veterans to form a balanced lineup.

The middle order powered by Kohli, Iyer and Rahul is expected to provide the backbone of stability, while the bowling attack featuring a mix of spin and pace will be led by Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. In the all-round department, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar add significant depth and versatility, giving India multiple options with both bat and ball. Australia, on the other hand, under Mitchell Marsh have recalled several senior players, bringing World Cup-winning experience to their ODI and T20 squads along with new faces. With home ground advantage in their favor and confidence from the recent Test series win over India, the Australian team will once again aim to dominate on a familiar ground.
