IND vs AUS: The Indian cricket team is all set to lock horns with Australia for a three-match ODI series from Sunday, and this series will help both teams prepare for the 2027 World Cup. But for the Men in Blue, this series is also about Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Gautam Gambhir.
The two ex-India ODI skippers and the head coach have been in the news for the last two months, even though they weren't on the field together. The visitors have already started their training sessions in Perth, where a video had gone viral on social media of Rohit talking to Gambhir.
Star Sports took to their official X account and showed a glimpse of the interaction before Rohit attended the session.

Rohit was looking in good touch since he was making a comeback to international cricket after a long time, and just a few days before the series began. As per reports, Rohit and Gambhir were seen talking for a long while at the sidelines.
Both the new skipper, Shubman Gill, and the others have maintained the same stand about them and heaped praises on their experiences, and that they need to perform well in this series.
“The 50-over World Cup is still two and a half years away. I think it is essential to stay in the present. That is very important. Obviously, they are quality players, and their experience will be valuable in Australia. Hopefully, both will have a successful tour in Australia," Gambhir told reporters in the post-match press conference.

“They’ve been playing for India for the past 10–15 years and winning matches for us. The experience that they bring to the table is something every captain or every team wants. And that’s what we are looking forward to. We want them to go out there and do their magic," Gill said.
