Former Australia captain Aaron Finch believes the Men in Gold will enjoy a slight edge and beat India 2-1 in the upcoming three-match ODI series down under. Finch said the two heavyweights always enjoy \u2018great battles\u2019 which should continue given how \u2018evenly matched\u2019 they are, making it a great spectacle.<\/p>\n

Australia are the World Champions and will host India at Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney, respectively, between October 19-25. A five-match T20I series will follow, which would be relevant as a preparation for the next year\u2019s T20 World Cup, but the ODI rubber will mark the return of two of India\u2019s most popular cricketers, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as they fight to keep their place in the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a great series. It always is against India and I think having Virat back in there brings out the best in him against Australia,” Finch told the ICC<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s always a great battle when you look at it on paper as it\u2019s very evenly matched, but I\u2019d say Australia (win the series) 2-1. Not confidently though as India are a great side and it will just be a great series to watch.”<\/p>\n

India have made some big calls ahead of the tour, removing Rohit, who won the 2025 Champions Trophy as the captain earlier this year, and appointing Shubman Gill the leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cShubman has already shown what a good leader he is in T20 cricket and Test cricket, so I\u2019m sure this will be no different,” Finch said.<\/p>\n

The former Aussie opener remarked that though Rohit and Kohli are no longer in leadership roles, their expeirence would still hold value to the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think just having those guys there will be a real calmness for him as well, because it\u2019s the ability to bounce ideas, both on and off the field, on how you want the team to function going forward,” Finch said.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s squad for Australia ODIs:<\/strong> Shubman Gill (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (VC), Axar Patel, KL Rahul (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal.<\/p>\n
