India will face Australia in a three-match ODI series that started on Friday.
The captaincy in the initial two ODIs for India belongs to KL Rahul.

After winning their 8th Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, Team India is back home and will now play against Australia in a three-game ODI series. The series starts on Friday, September 22.

India had a big victory over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 final. The match ended in just two hours. Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj was excellent, taking 6 wickets for 21 runs, his best performance in ODI cricket.

On the flip side, the Australian cricket team lost three games in a row to South Africa and lost the five-game series (3-2). However, Australia has some good news before their 3-match ODI series against India. Experienced players like Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Mitchell Starc were injured and missed the South Africa tour, but now they have completely recovered. They are excited to play in the upcoming ODIs against India and make an impact.
