The ODI series between India and Australia is going to start from October 19. The first match of the series will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth. This match is going to be a very special moment for Indian cricket. Actually, Shubman Gill will take command of the team for the first time as ODI captain. At the same time, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be seen playing for Team India after about 7 months. But before this match, a bad news has come for Indian cricket fans.
Tension increased among fans
There is a threat of rain looming over this match to be played between India and Australia. According to the report of Accuweather, there is a 63 percent chance of rain in Perth on Sunday. According to local time, the match will start at 11.30 am, that is, according to Indian time, the match will start at 9 am. But there is a 50-60 percent chance of rain at the beginning of the match time. In such a situation, the match can be affected due to rain and if the match gets washed out in the rain, then the fans may have to wait longer for the return of Rohit-Virat.
This is going to happen after 9 years
Rohit Sharma will be seen playing as a player for Team India after almost 4 years. He was made the ODI captain in place of Virat in 2021. Before that, Virat had handled this responsibility for a long time. This will be the first time after 9 years when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play together as players under someone’s captaincy. Earlier this scene was seen in the year 2016, when MS Dhoni was the captain of the team. On the other hand, Team India will play an ODI match on this ground for the first time. At the same time, Australia has played 3 matches on this ground and has faced defeat in all these matches. Which is a good news for Team India. But India’s record against Australia in Australia is very bad. Team India has won only 14 out of 54 matches and has faced defeat in 38 matches.
