Rajat Patidar will lead the side in the first match.
After claiming the two-match multi-day series with the scoreline of 1-0, team India A will now shift its focus to the upcoming three unofficial ODI fixtures against Australia A, starting on September 30. Fans will find out the IND-A vs AUS-A live streaming details for One Day series here.
Following a fierce show in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy 2025 and the leadership to guide the Central Zone to the title, Rajat Patidar has been handed the captaincy of India A for the One Day series opener. However, Tilak Varma will take over the skipper’s duties from Patidar for the remaining two matches, scheduled on October 3 and October 5, respectively.
Previously, the first unofficial Test in Lucknow witnessed two magnificent knocks from Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel. They notched up 150 and 140 runs, respectively, in response to Sam Konstas’ 109 and Josh Phillippe’s 123* in the first innings. But the four-day red-ball fixture ultimately ended in a draw.
The visitors were once again on the way to put up a huge target in the second match of the series. But Manav Suthar’s five-fer and a three-wicket haul from Gurnoor Brar restricted Australia A to 420. But the Indian batters folded for just 194. Notably, another comprehensive bowling performance from Suthar and Gurnoor bundled out the Aussies for 185 in the second innings, before a sublime unbeaten hundred of KL Rahul (176*) and a century from Sai Sudharsan powered the team to chase a mammoth 412-run target.
The India A vs Australia A ODI series live streaming rights are with JioHotstar but there has been no confirmation for the same. Something similar also happened during the recent two unofficial Tests between the teams where they were supposed to live stream the games but eventually did not take place.
The India A vs Australia A live telecast was expected to be available on the Star Sports Network but there hasn’t been any updated regarding it.
The three unofficial ODI fixtures between India A and Australia A will commence at 1:30 PM IST. All the matches will take place in Kanpur.
