The highly anticipated first ODI of the India tour of Australia 2025 will mark the beginning of an exciting three-match series between two cricket powerhouses. Scheduled for Sunday, October 19, 2025, the match promises high-intensity action as both teams look to set the tone for the series. The game will take place at Optus Stadium in Perth, a venue famous for its pace and bounce, a paradise for fast bowlers and a challenge for the best of batters.
Match context and overview
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.
