AUS V IND: Nitish Kumar Reddy Makes ODI Debut As Australia Opt To Bowl

By IANS News October 19, 2025 • 08:52 AM View: 268

Nitish Kumar Reddy: Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first against India here at the Optus Stadium in the first ODI of the three-match series.

With India’s ace cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma returning to action, the visitors will be hoping to clinch the three-match bilateral series to mark Shubman Gill’s maiden series victory as the captain of the side.

Mitch Marsh is leading Australia in the absence of regular skipper Pat Cummins, who was ruled out owing to a stress fracture in his back.
