This IND vs AUS ODI series 2025 marks the return of India's two most prolific batters, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who will be in action for Men in Blue after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, having taken retirement from Test and T20I.  This marks a change of guard for India in ODIs, with Shubman Gill taking over captaincy from Sharma, who will lead a young, robust squad, with veterans like Shreyas Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav, KL Rahul, and Siraj.

Meanwhile, Australia will be captained by Mitchell Marsh, who will lead in the absence of Pat Cummins. Marsh, too, will have a squad with a blend of old and new faces, which makes the IND vs AUS ODI series quite mouth-watering.
