Shubman Gill-led Indian team arrives in Australia for the ODI series

Apart from Kohli, Rohit and Gill, the others to land here after a delayed flight were KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy along with some members of the support staff.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir and the rest of the coaching staff will join the squad later in the day as they had boarded an evening flight from Delhi on Wednesday.

The series will begin here on Sunday before moving to Adelaide (October 23), and Sydney (October 25). It will be followed by a five-match T20 International series starting October 29.

The one-dayers have generated a buzz as it is Rohit and Kohli’s first international outing after India’s Champions Trophy triumph in March earlier this year. The future of the two stalwarts has become a subject of intense speculation especially after Gill’s elevation to ODI captaincy. Both of them have already retired from Tests and T20 Internationals but are believed to be keen on continuing at least till the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Gill, who also leads the Test side, has been supportive of the idea in his media interactions since taking over the ODI reins.
