October 19, 2025—The much-anticipated five-match ODI series between India and Australia, kicking off on October 22 at the Gabba in Brisbane, receives a massive boost with the confirmed return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the 50-over format, injecting a potent blend of experience, flair, and firepower into India’s lineup. The duo, absent from ODIs since the 2023 World Cup heartbreak, rejoin under Shubman Gill’s captaincy for the series, their inclusion signaling a strategic recalibration aimed at reclaiming supremacy in the format.
