Prominent members of the Indian ODI team, including star batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and new captain Shubman Gill, arrived here early on Thursday, October 16, for a three-match series against Australia starting on October 19.
Apart from Kohli, Rohit and Gill, the others to land here after a delayed flight were K L Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, along with some members of the support staff.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir and the rest of the coaching staff will join the squad later in the day as they had boarded an evening flight from Delhi on October 15.
The series will begin here on Sunday before moving to Adelaide (October 23), and Sydney (October 25). It will be followed by a five-match T20 International series starting October 29. The one-dayers have generated a buzz as it is Rohit and Kohli’s first international outing after India’s Champions Trophy triumph in March earlier this year. The future of the two stalwarts has become a subject of intense speculation especially after Gill’s elevation to ODI captaincy.
