CA said in a release, "The second and third ODIs at the SCG and Manuka Oval respectively have been exhausted while the Manuka Oval T20I and two SCG T20Is are sold out."

"Limited tickets to the first ODI on November 27 at the SCG remain, with approximately 1,900 public seats left. Both the SCG and Manuka Oval will be at 50 per cent capacity for series, with fans voting with their feet after ticket prices were frozen from the last time India came to Australia in 2018/19," it added.

CA's Executive General Manager of Fan Engagement, Anthony Everard is happy with the fact that the fans are waiting for the men's internationals to begin and it is evident from the ticket sales.

Everard said, "The rivalry between the Australian and Indian men's cricket teams is one of the greatest in international sport and this series is shaping up as an epic."

"It''s been fantastic to see so much interest in the ODI and T20I Series, with the high demand starting from yesterday with our pre-sale period offered to the Australian Cricket Family. It didn't take long today for things to move quickly, with now just a couple of thousand tickets remaining for the first ODI on November 27 at the SCG," he added.
