Team India, fresh off their Asia Cup 2025 victory and a win against the West Indies, is now set to showcase their strength in the ODI format. The first ODI of the three-match series against Australia will take place on October 19 at Optus Stadium, Perth. After a long break, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will return to the ODI lineup, but this time the team will be led by Shubman Gill, who will aim to continue India’s winning streak.

New Responsibility for Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill’s stellar captaincy in the Test series against England and the West Indies earned him the role of ODI captain.
