Rohit Sharma is determined to make a positive impact in the India vs Australia ODI series, starting from October 19. India will face the home team, Australia, for 3 One Day International matches and 5 T20Is. Rohit is eligible to participate only in the ODI series, as he retired from the other two formats of the game—T20I and Test. Ahead of the Australia tour, the opener focused on his batting. 

Over the past couple of days, Sharma's batting practice at the Shivaji Park caught every cricket fan's attention on the internet. After winning the ICC T20I World Cup and Champions Trophy 2025, the Mumbaikar reportedly keeps the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup in his mind, which he has not won as of yet. Under the leadership of Sharma, India went very close to winning the World Cup in 2023 but suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final match against Australia. 

From many media reports, and the close circle of Rohit, it was revealed before that the batter has a determination to win the ODI World Cup title in his international career. Ahead of the India vs. Australia white ball series, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) removed the opener from the leadership role and assigned Shubman Gill as his successor, who is the Test captain of Team India as well. So, Rohit will enter into the upcoming series only as a batter.
