India’s ODI roadmap to the 2027 World Cup is taking shape, with key series lined up against Australia, England, South Africa and more. Shubman Gill leads the side as ODI captain.
- Shubman Gill appointed as new ODI captain.
- Key series include Australia, South Africa, England away.
- New Zealand and Sri Lanka series are scheduled.
India's One-Day International (ODI) scenario has been a major topic of discussion of late, particularly due to the appointment of Shubman Gill as the captain in the format, sidelining Rohit Sharma.
The next major trophy at stake in the 50-over game is the 2027 ICC World Cup, and while there quite a while left in its arrival from now, the Men in Blue have their course set until then for the most part.
With multiple series planned against top sides at home and away, here's a look at India's ODI schedule until the 2027 ODI World Cup so far.

Three ODIs between October 19 and 25, 2025.
