The Indian cricket team has kicked off practice sessions ahead of their first ODI in Perth against Australia. With the three‑match series beginning on October 19, India’s senior batters and pace bowlers wasted no time in getting into form.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were among those taking full batting practice, spending time in the nets together. Kohli was seen “middling a few” shots — a positive sign as he tunes his timing. KL Rahul also joined the batting sessions. Meanwhile, fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana were active in warm‑up and bowling drills.
The Indians arrived in Perth over two days. With Australia hosting the ODI and T20 legs (3 ODIs and 5 T20s), the build-up is intense. Coaches and support staff are closely monitoring fitness and rhythm. The practice sessions are expected to continue over the next few days before the series opener.
These sessions send a message: India is serious and ready. Having champions like Kohli and Rohit being active in nets boosts team morale and sends a cue to Australia. The series promises to be competitive — and India seems to be laying a strong foundation early.
