After clinching the T20I series against Sri Lanka, Team India is all set to host a more formidable Australian team in the three-match ODI series starting January 14.
Virat Kohli would lead the Men in Blue while Team Yellow would be marshalled by Aaron Finch.
Nearly 12 months ago, Finch & Co. had travelled to India to take on a side many expected to go all the way in the ICC Cricket World Cup later in the year. Neither team went on to reach the final in the World Cup, but Australia’s 3-2 series win over India marked a crucial moment in what had proved a significant form swing.
