India vs Australia Live Streaming: How To Watch IND vs AUS 1st ODI Live On TV And Online?

IND vs AUS, 1st ODI: India is set to play against Australia in a three-match ODI series starting Sunday. The 1st India vs Australia game will be played at the Perth Stadium from 9 a.m. IST onwards.

Even amid the emotional theme of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's return to Indian fold, Shubman Gill's maiden outing as a full-time ODI skipper provides an equally compelling narrative to the first one-dayer.

Kohli and Rohit are coming back to national colours after playing the Champions Trophy in March.

It's unlikely that the management will break the highly successful opening combination of Rohit and Gill, keeping Yashasvi Jaiswal as a backup option.

It means Kohli will come at No. 3 followed by Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, who will double up as the wicketkeeper.

Nitish Kumar Reddy is likely to receive his maiden ODI cap in the all-rounder's role since injured Hardik Pandya is not part of the side, and Harshit Rana will vie with Prasidh Krishna for the support seamer's role behind Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.

Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav could be manning the spin department.

On the other hand, the Aussies will hope that the likes of Cooper Connolly, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Renshaw etc can give ample support to Marsh and India's eternal nemesis Travis Head.

India's new ODI captain Shubman Gill said his bond with the Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is as strong as ever despite contrary narratives floating on social media in recent weeks, insisting that he will not hesitate to approach the two stalwarts if he is in a fix during a match.

"A narrative is run on the outside but nothing has changed in my relationship with Rohit. He is very helpful whenever I feel I need to ask him anything, may be input on nature of the track," Gill told media on the eve of the series-opener.

"I go and ask 'What do you think? If you would have been leading what would you do?' I have great equation with Virat bhai and Rohit bhai and they never hesitate in giving suggestions," Gill said, seeking to clear the air about the misconception that the two seniors haven't taken the decision well.

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh on Saturday said playing in "packed out stadiums" against India who will have Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli back in the ranks, will be a "great experience" for his group.

"Had the privilege of playing against them quite a lot over the journey," Marsh told the media talking about playing against Rohit and Kohli.

"They're obviously legends of the game, Virat is the greatest chaser ever in this format. I think you can see by the ticket sales that a lot of people want to come and watch them. To see the stadium packed out against India, it's going to be a great experience for our group," he added.

The 1st match of the three match ODI series between India and Australia will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network TV channels in India.
