India and Australia restart their white-ball rivalry with a three-match DOI series that opens at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, October 19. It doubles up as India’s first proper ODI audition for 2027, as a barometer of how Shubman Gill’s leadership scales on foreign soil against the World Champions of the format.
The subplots for the series are rich. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are back in the ODI XI after sitting out the last set. For Gill, who leads India’s ODI side for the first time on Australian soil, it will be a test of his leadership and management skills.
From Australia’s lens, Mitchell Marsh continues as white-ball captain with a squad that blends youth with experience. The immediate stakes in this series aren’t the trophy, but the gravity of selection is real. Both teams will be testing out their combinations, building up for the World Cup in 2027.
