After the conclusion of the ODI series, India will face Australia in five T20Is. The first T20I will be held at the Manuka Oval on October 29, followed by the second at Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 31 and the third at the Bellerive Oval on November 2.
The fourth T20I will be held at the Gold Coast on November 6 before the series concludes two days later in Brisbane. The AUS vs IND T20 matches will start at 1:45 PM IST.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was the top scorer for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 with 559 runs from 14 matches, returns to the ODI setup after making his 50-over debut for the Men in Blue earlier this year in February.
He has played just one ODI so far, scoring 15 against England but has impressed in international red-ball cricket this season.
The 23-year-old opener was integral in helping India hold England to a 2-2 draw during a five-match Test series earlier this year. He scored two centuries in the series, including a match-winning knock in the final Test at The Oval.
Dhruv Jurel, who also played for the Royals in IPL 2025, has received his maiden call-up to the ODI squad.
He recently hit his maiden Test ton for India in the first game of a two-match IND vs WI Test 2025 series.
He scored 125 off 210 balls against the West Indies to add to a string of fine innings this year.
Earlier this summer, Jurel piled up 227 runs at an average of 75.66, hitting three half-centuries in four innings during the India A team’s tour of England.
He also scored a century against Australia A in a multi-day match at home last month and made 56 while captaining the team to victory in the second game of the series.
Both Dhruv Jurel and Yashasvi Jaiswal are currently with the Indian Test squad, which will compete against West Indies in the second game of the series from Friday. India currently lead the series 1-0.
Meanwhile, fresh off his triumph in the Asia Cup with the Indian team, Sanju Samson is back in the T20 squad set to face Australia.
Samson scored 132 runs in seven matches at an average of 33.00 and a strike rate of 124.53 in the Asia Cup. His top score of 56 came against Oman in the group stage, for which he was named the Player of the Match.
The skipper of Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, Samson was also involved in a crucial 57-run partnership with Tilak Varma in the Asia Cup final.
