India vs Australia
India men’s national cricket team represents India internationally. Administered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India and recognized as an full member of the International Cricket Council with Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International status; currently it ranks fourth overall on that ranking system; fifth among ODIs, sixth among ODIs and third among T20Is.
India and Australia have had a longstanding rivalry. Over 304 games in various formats between them have been played between them, with Australia winning 146 outright wins to India’s 114 wins – considered one of the fiercest rivalries in all of cricket and an integral part of its legacy.
In 2024, both teams met again at Lord’s in an epic T20 World Cup final where Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant bowling performance helped India beat South Africa by four wickets to claim their second T20 world crown. India’s batsmen under captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill excelled, with opener Abhishek Sharma leading them.
Throughout the Test series, both teams managed similar scores; with Melbourne hosting a draw. India eventually went on to win all remaining three matches including an amazing 5-0 triumph against Australia at Sydney that made history and made India only the second nation ever to do so in Test format cricket history.
Australia currently leads India with an ODI win-loss ratio of 4-2, so they will aim to maintain this lead and consolidate it during the upcoming bilateral series, starting February.
Before the ODI series kicks off, both teams will participate in warm-up matches at respective venues; India A will face USA at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai while Namibia take on India B at Bengaluru’s Centre of Excellence (CoE). Both Mayank Yadav (who has just returned after suffering a stress fracture) and Tilak Varma have been cleared by medical personnel to play.
Test Series
India and Australia share one of the fiercest rivalries in world cricket, often clashing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and creating high-octane limited overs contests that capture global audiences. Boasting an extensive history of competitive encounters, their rivalry showcases some of international cricket’s finest moments.
India will play top-tier men’s international cricket in all eight Australian states and territories during this upcoming tour, for the first time ever. Canberra’s Manuka Oval and Melbourne’s MCG will host Test series matches, while Hobart’s Bellerive Oval and Gold Coast Carrara Stadium will host T20Is.
This will be the third meeting between Australia and India in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), with both teams having recorded wins during previous encounters. Australia recently defeated India in Ahmedabad during a five-match series – during which Travis Head became the fastest batsman ever to reach 3000 ODI runs and thus regain his famed Orange Cap title.
India will look to gain revenge against Australia after their loss in the three-match T20I series by winning back home, with Shubman Gill serving as T20 captain and recently helping win the Asia Cup for India.
Their batting department boasts firepower such as opener Abhishek Sharma and Virat Kohli as well as Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah leads their bowling lineup alongside T20 spinners Varun Chakravarthy Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav.
Following an upheaval in their national team’s history, Australian players are working to regain their status as an effective force. Steve Smith and David Warner’s return from 12-month bans will help bolster Australia’s squad – but first they must demonstrate to coach and teammates they can compete on the grandest stage: the Ashes series. A new docuseries called The Test: A New Era for Australia’s Team gives viewers a sneak peek behind-the-scenes at how Australia plans to recapture their crown.
ODI Series
2026 will be an action-packed season of international cricket with numerous bilateral series taking place across formats. Rohit Sharma will lead his side through their home white-ball series against New Zealand before hosting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup defending their crown from 2024 on home soil in March.
In July, India will return to England for three ODIs and five T20Is before Sri Lanka visit for three Test matches at Colombo R. Premadasa Stadium as well as Lord’s Old Trafford The Oval; Australia then tour India for three-match Test series including Eden Gardens Kolkata Nagpur before Freedom Trophy comes around again between India and South Africa at Cuttack Barsapara Guwahati between November 9-13th 2018.
Rohit and Kohli defied reports of their imminent retirement as they led India to victory against Australia in Sydney’s third and final ODI match, scoring an unbeaten combined score of 210 not out to secure an easy nine-wicket victory on Saturday.
Australian batsmen were more unnerved at the crease. Marsh and Head struggled to establish any sort of momentum before Short joined Renshaw and things finally began moving in their favour – although many missed chances led them down an unexpected route, ultimately falling short of their target in the end.
India have an intense One Day International (ODI) schedule in October and November as they gear up for the World Cup tournament hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in October-November. They’re scheduled to play 27 ODIs between now and December – including three series against Bangladesh as well as another three-match series against New Zealand (exact dates yet to be confirmed).
T20I Series
India and Australia share one of the fiercest rivalries in world cricket, from Test matches to high-octane limited-overs clashes, creating some unforgettable moments in cricket history. Their clash of contrasting batting styles and potency bowling attacks have thrilled audiences around the world; legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Virat Kohli have cemented themselves into this revered rivalry’s history.
India and Australia will participate in a five-match T20I series starting November 23 in Visakhapatnam, Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati. India have won 12 out of 17 T20I encounters against Australia previously led by Rohit Sharma’s side; so they will look to maintain their dominance against their archrival.
With an emphasis on developing young players, India have chosen an impressive T20I squad for this series. Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy will join spinner Kuldeep Yadav in this squad while Rohit Sharma looks to add to his total of ODI centuries while skipper Shikhar Dhawan will look to build on recent great form.
Australia and India both boast outstanding T20I records, and their most recent meeting produced an electrifying game that ended 2-1 for India. Rohit Sharma and Dhawan excelled for India but an early wicket for Virat Kohli left Australia chasing an unlikely target of 250 runs – thanks to Head and Labuschagne’s magnificent innings performance, Australia ultimately made up ground on India.
As is always the case in such contests, rivalries between two sides will create an electric atmosphere at the venue and broadcast live across major Indian channels and Crickit’s real-time scoreboard & updates from across the globe.
Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in several associated activities during this series, including a T20I exhibition match and special screenings of “Indiana Jones and The Lost Ark”. More details regarding these events will become available nearer their dates of occurrence.
