This series comes as a crucial preparatory phase for both teams as they gear up for major ICC events in the near future. For India, this will be the first ODI assignment under new captain Shubman Gill following the team’s transition phase after the 2024 T20 World Cup.
The spotlight will also be on the returning senior duo Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli both making their comeback to ODI cricket after a five-month break.
Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh will enter this series slightly depleted, with several first-choice names such as Pat Cummins, Cameron Green, Adam Zampa, and Alex Carey missing out. That opens the door for emerging talents like Xavier Bartlett and Cooper Connolly to make their mark.
