As of 2025-10-18T04:20:12+00:00, the Indian cricket team is gearing up for a highly anticipated ODI series against Australia. The series marks the return of two of India's batting stalwarts, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have been absent from the national team for the past four months.

Shreyas Iyer, who has been in red-hot form in the 50-over format, is expected to play a key role for India. The Australian side, on the other hand, will be led by the in-form all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who has been a standout performer for the team in recent white-ball matches.
