India vs Australia ODI Series: Hits and Misses of the Indian squad

Indiaâ€s ODI squad for the 2025 Australia tour has Shubman Gill as captain, which is one of the clear hits. Rohit Sharma and Kohli returning adds experience and stability at the top of the order. They also have the pace trio of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Arshdeep Singh, with spin players like Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.

Sanju Samson not being included in the squad despite strong Asia Cup form is a big miss for the team. Mohammed Shami is also missing from the squad due to an injury. He was not considered for the recent ODI or T20I series against Australia. Hardik Pandyaâ€s injury removes an experienced all-rounder, which forces the team to rely on young talents like Nitish Reddy.

India vs Australia T20I Series: Hits and Misses of the Indian squad

For T20Is, a hit is the retention of almost the entire Asia Cup-winning squad. Suryakumar Yadav, leading as captain with Gill as vice-captain, keeps leadership settled. The pace duo of Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh is strong, and the spin is led by Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav. 

Hardik Pandya’s injury is the primary reason for the T20I misses, which reduces the number of all-round options. There isn’t a big batting gap, but with Australia’s hectic schedule, the team will need to carefully manage workload.
