The Australia-India series, which begins on Sunday, October 19, is the subject of intense anticipation. The fervor between the two teams is evident in the fact that fans have reserved tickets for this mega series four months in advance. After seven months, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, two of Team India's best players, are participating in an international cricket match. In addition, the series against Australia has increased anticipation. A three-match ODI series will be played first. Given the strength of both teams, it is now intriguing to predict the outcome of this series.
Michael Clarke, a legend in Australian cricket, has predicted the outcome of the ODI series. He spoke in favor of his team, Australia, on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast. He forecast that Australia would defeat India 2-1 in the series. It's really hard to predict who will win the series. I predict Australia will win the series 2-1 if there are no rain-related interruptions. Australia is where I'll stay. In my opinion, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will score runs during this series. It is a little simpler to bat at number three or four in situations like Australia. I believe that Kohli will score the most runs in this || series because Rohit Sharma will start the innings," Clarke said.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have done very well in Australia. Rohit has hit 990 runs against the Australians, with an average of 58.23 and four centuries. Kohli has hit 802 runs at an average of 41.17, with three centuries and five half-centuries. After seven months, it will be interesting to see how the Rohit pair does in Australia. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, the new captain and vice-captain of Team India, are also ready to show what they can do.
India will play in Australia for the first time since 2020 in the white-ball format. The ODI series will take place between October 19 and 25. The T20 series will take place between October 29 and November 8. The first ODI in Perth on October 19 will kick off the tour. The second ODI will take place on October 23 in Adelaide. On October 25, the third ODI will be in Sydney. The first T20 match will be on October 29 at Manuka Oval, after the T20 series.
