The three-match ODI series begins on October 19 in Perth.
The Indian squad, including captain Shubman Gill, has touched down in Australia, where they were also welcomed by KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, along with support staff members.
The upcoming ODI matches have sparked fans' interest, as they await the return of cricket legends Rohit and Kohli. Their international future has been a source of contention, especially since Gill assumed the role of ODI captain, replacing Rohit Sharma.
While both legends have retired from Tests and T20 Internationals, speculations say they intend to continue until the 2027 ODI World Cup. This will be their first appearance in India colors since the Men in Blue’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 win in March in Dubai.
The Indian team got to their practice in Perth ground, and a viral video on social media showed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma batting in the nets.
In addition to Virat and Rohit, the other three Indian cricket players who trained were KL Rahul and the pace tandem of Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana.
Fielding coach T helped Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in catch practice. Virat appeared in excellent physical condition and showed intensity. Rohit Sharma was spotted stretching, and the former captain of India engaged in light conversation with head coach Gautam Gambhir.
