The highly anticipated One-Day International (ODI) series between the world champions, Australia national cricket team, and the ICC number one-ranked team, India national cricket team, have been all one-way traffic with Mitchell Marsh and co winning the first two matches of the ongoing three-match series, and gaining anĀ unassailable 2-0 lead. The IND vs AUS 3rd ODI 2025 will give the Shubman Gill-led Men in Blue a chance to avoid a series whitewash and ensure a good send-off to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who might be making their final international tour Down Under.Ā Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis Return To Australia's Squad For IND vs AUS T20I Series 2025; Marnus Labuschagne Released Ahead of Final ODI.

A major concern for India in this IND vs AUS ODI series has been the lack of runs from batters, including Virat Kohli, who scored successive ducks, and the inability to claim wickets by bowlers in crunch moments. Apart from Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, all others have failed to get starts, let alone make 50s/100s, while the all-rounders, too have been unable to contribute across departments, making Kuldeep Yadav's exclusion questionable. The pacers have failed to make any impact,Ā including both Mohammed Siraja and Harshit Rana. Management might rope in Prasidh Krishna for the dead rubber and bring in Yadav for a Nitish Kumar Reddy.

On the other hand, Australia have showcased all-round skills, with their young ones stepping up to the plate, with experienced players underperforming. The bowlingĀ unit have been the guiding force for Australia,Ā curbingĀ India'sĀ star-studdedĀ line-up, led by Josh Hazlewood. It will be interesting if Marsh and team management opt to make a change to their winning combination, giving rest to Hazlewood, who has been included in T20Is as well.
