#indvsaus #cricket

The first ODI match between India and Australia is being played on 19 October 2025 at Optus Stadium, Perth. Fans are always excited to watch matches between India vs Australia.

This ODI match is a part of India’s Australia tour. Both India and Australia are considered the strongest teams in the world, and cricket fans always enjoy watching matches between these two teams.

Australia won the toss and chose bowling. This clearly means that India will bat first, and after that, Australia will bat. Australia has shown its first smart move by choosing to bowl after winning the toss.

India Bats First in ODI Match 2025

As Australia chose bowling after winning the toss, India is now batting first. In the very first over, Australian bowlers put the Indian team under pressure.

Australia’s bowling is going so well that they have dismissed India’s best players in the starting overs itself, which shocked everyone.

Rohit Sharma scored only 8 runs and then got out.
Virat Kohli couldn’t even open his account this time and got out at 0 runs.
Shubman Gill couldn’t stay long and got out after scoring only 10 runs.

In 9 overs, India lost its 3 best batters, which put the entire team under pressure. India made 25 runs in 9 overs and lost 3 wickets.

Where Australia’s team and their supporters are celebrating happily and cheering, on the other side, India’s team and fans look quite disappointed.

The New Captain of the Indian Cricket Team

One more special thing has been added to this ODI match for the Indian team — Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new ODI captain. After Rohit Sharma’s retirement, Shubman Gill has been made the new ODI captain.

Before the start of the match, the new captain Shubman Gill said:

“It’s a very big responsibility. I have learned a lot from Rohit Bhaiya and Virat Bhaiya, and I will try my best to carry their legacy forward.”

As a new captain, such a disappointing start to the match is not good. Now this match will become even more challenging for Shubman Gill. Losing his best players and facing Australia’s team is not an easy task.

Bowling of Australia

Australia’s bowlers are setting the pitch on fire. The Indian team is considered one of the strongest teams in the world, and getting players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli out so early is not an easy job.

Australia’s team has made a very good start, due to which the opposite team looks tense. In 9 overs, Australia gave India only 25 runs and dismissed 3 of their main players.

Mitchell Starc bowled so deadly that Virat Kohli got out for a duck.
Josh Hazlewood dismissed Rohit Sharma with a perfect outswinger.
Nathan Ellis got Shubman Gill out after scoring only 10 runs.

Australia’s team’s hard work, teamwork, energy, and discipline have proved why everyone considers Australia such a strong team.

All the players in the Australian team — whether batsmen, bowlers, or fielders — are excellent. Their fielders were setting the pitch on fire today. Connolly’s catch dismissed Virat Kohli. Every player of their team is playing very well.

Rain Interrupts After 12 Overs

The ODI first match had just started, India was batting, and when 12 overs were completed, rain started. As soon as it rained, the umpires stopped the match, and after some time, it was decided that the match would now be played with 49 overs per side.

After the match was stopped, all the players left the ground. Cricket fans are now waiting for the match to resume. When there’s a match in Australia, how can it happen without rain?

Whenever matches are played in Australia, most of them get interrupted due to rain. But this time, this short break will be a bit relieving for India.

Losing 3 players in such few overs had put India under tension, so this break was necessary for India’s team so they could rebuild their confidence. Now the Indian team will get some time to calm down and change their strategy.

Match Resumes After Rain

After the rain stopped, the ODI match has started again. Now KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have taken charge. Both of them are rotating the strike and playing safe shots.

Their idea looks quite simple — they don’t want to lose more wickets and want to stay on the pitch. Without losing more players, slowly scoring runs is the only way to take the match forward now.

Shreyas Iyer is giving a strong reply to spinners, and KL Rahul is also playing well with his techniques, due to which the Indian team seems to be recovering slowly.

This is Rohit Sharma’s 500th International Match

This ODI match is very special for Rohit Sharma because it’s his 500th international match. Today’s performance by Rohit wasn’t as good as fans expected, but he achieved a special milestone.

Along with M.S. Dhoni and Virat Kohli, now Rohit Sharma has also joined the elite list. Fans on social media are celebrating Rohit Sharma’s achievement and using hashtags like #Rohit500, #Hitman, and #Milestone.

India’s Lower Runs

Losing 3 wickets at the start of the match made it look like the game was slipping out of India’s hands. India’s hopes were now pinned on Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.

Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja managed to handle the match a bit, but if Team India had scored around 270 runs, their chances of winning the match could have increased.

Former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar said:

“Playing against Australia is never easy. The Indian team needs to keep patience.”

If today India manages to score around 270 runs, they can challenge Australia. But if they get out around 200 runs, then winning the match will become difficult for India.

The India vs Australia 1st ODI Match is becoming quite stressful for India. Let’s hope India wins this match and brings the trophy home.
