With both players keen to play the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, this series in Australia will be the stage for Rohit and Virat to prove their naysayers wrong. This will also be the first time in a while that Rohit will be in the team as a pure batter with the pressures of captaincy off him.

That pressure of leadership, meanwhile, will fall on the young shoulders of Shubman Gill who will be marking his debut as India’s ODI skipper with this series. Like Tests, Gill replaced Rohit as the captain with the 25-year-old keen to prove his mettle Down Under.

We have an update coming in. Rohit Sharma hands Nitish Kumar Reddy his ODI cap as the fast bowling all-rounder is all set to make his One-Day debut at the same venue where he made his Test debut.
Australia have never won an ODI at the Perth Stadium, although it has to be noted that only three matches of this format have been played in the past. The most recent of those was in November last year between Australia and Pakistan. Australia were blown away in that match for just 140 runs with Pakistan’s fast bowlers running riot and the visitors won match by eight wickets. Before that, Australia were bundled out for 152, this time South Africa’s pacers led by Dale Steyn picking them apart. The first ODI to be played here was a closer affair, which England won by 12 runs. This is the first game to be played on this ground this season overall and generally, lower scores are expected in matches played here.
An important thing to consider is that there is a very strong chance of rains playing a role. It could either interrupt in the early stages of the match or make an appearance before the game starts. According to Accuweather, rain is expected on Sunday morning with a 70 per cent chances of precipitation ahead of the 11:30 AM (Australian time) start. The rain chances further increase by 35 per cent as the game progresses, thus possibly forcing multiple interruptions. A delayed toss and start to the game could be possible.
When Rohit Sharma walks out in Perth on Sunday, it will mark his 500th international match and will become only the fifth Indian to reach the milestone.
On the edge in Oz: Rohit Sharma’s ODI legacy and the looming curtain call
Rohit Sharma has watched several versions of Australia, just as Australia has beheld different iterations of Rohit Sharma. When he first landed Down Under in 2008, Ricky Ponting was the captain, the troika of Bill Lawry, Tony Greig and Richie Benaud were still commentating.
In the next 17 years, Australia’s ODI leadership would change half a dozen hands, the ODI emperors would stack their cupboard with two more World Cups, and would painfully endure the death of Phil Hughes and Shane Warne.

Virat Kohli can prove that Indian cricket can’t forget him yet… if he knows where his off-stump is
A couple of months back, Virat Kohli gave one tiny glimpse of his rather secretive life in London, where he has moved in search of privacy and space. It was an Instagram post of him with a reputed local coach with a strong Indian connection Naeem Amin. The frame, probably captured after an intense session at an indoor facility, had Virat resting his arm around the IPL franchise Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Amin’s shoulder. There was a note of gratitude too: “Thanks for helping out with the hit brother … “.
