India vs Australia 1st ODI playing 11, live toss time and live streaming

India and Australia are starting their three-match ODI series, with the first ODI today at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The coin flip of the match went in Australia's favour who invited India to bat first.  This series marks the beginning of a new era for India in the 50-over format, with Shubman Gill officially taking over the reins from Rohit Sharma as the ODI captain. Adding to the excitement, Indian fans will finally see the return of senior pros Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the playing 11 for the first time since lifting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. 

 

 

Gill steps into the role on the back of a successful home Test series win against the West Indies, and will be supported by newly named vice-captain Shreyas Iyer. Their presence is expected to bring experience and balance to a relatively young squad that also includes key names like KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and all-rounder Axar Patel. 

 

Discussing the pitch conditions before the match, Shubman Gill mentioned that the surface appears to be ideal for a one-day international and could favour the batters. "It seems like a really good wicket for an ODI," he said.

 

When asked about the return of seasoned campaigners Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill said having two of the greatest ODI batters in the squad is a big boost, and their presence will undoubtedly benefit the team heading into the series.

 

"Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are two of the finest white-ball players globally. Their experience and the skill sets they offer add immense value to the team," he stated.

 

On the other side, Australia will be led by Mitchell Marsh as they look to assert dominance at home. However, the hosts have been hit by a setback with all-rounder Cameron Green ruled out due to injury, with Marnus Labuschagne stepping in as his replacement. The stage is set for a cracking series between two modern-day giants.
