India vs Australia ODI series: Full schedule, squads, live streaming — All you need to know

After sealing their fourth consecutive Test series win against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India will now face the visitors in an action-packed One Day Internationals (ODIs) series. India will host Australia for three ODIs starting 17 March. Steve Smith will keep captaining Australia in place of regular skipper Pat Cummins who has decided to stay back in Sydney after his mother, Maria, breathed her last week. Cummins had flown back home after the second Test in Delhi and hasn’t returned since.

Cummins captained his team in the first two Tests which they lost. Stand-in skipper Smith scripted a turnaround by leading the Baggy Greens to a 9-wicket win over the hosts in the 3rd Test at Indore. With the fourth Test ending in a draw, Team India registered a 2-1 series win against Australia and confirmed its berth for the ICC World Test Championship final.
