India’s white-ball tour of Australia: Preview

India’s upcoming tour ushers in a new era of leadership, with Shubman Gill taking charge as the full-time ODI captain, succeeding Rohit Sharma. Both Rohit and Virat Kohli make their much-awaited return to the ODI setup after stepping away from T20I and Test formats earlier this year. With the 2027 World Cup already in sight, Gill’s captaincy and India’s team strategy are under close observation. The squad blends youth and experience, as young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy join seasoned campaigners Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and the returning stalwarts to form a balanced lineup.

The middle order, anchored by Kohli, Iyer and Rahul, is expected to provide the backbone of stability, while the bowling attack features a mix of spin and pace led by Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna. In the all-round department, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar add crucial depth and versatility, offering India multiple options with both bat and ball. On the other side, Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, has recalled several senior players, blending World Cup-winning experience with fresh faces in their ODI and T20I squads. With home advantage firmly in their favour and confidence from a recent Test series triumph over India, the Aussies will aim to assert dominance once again on familiar turf.
