The India vs Australia rivalry is also very popular and covered in the cricket world. Every time the Blue team plays in Australia, the match fare goes, with fans from both countries out in full force to see the best of the best go head to head. The 2025 ODI series was a milestone in the ongoing great story between these two cricket powerhouses. With players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Pat Cummins taking part, the series got global attention. For those who missed the action live or want to rewatch the games, knowing the broadcast coverage and the series’ outcome is key.

What to watch for the India vs Australia ODI series?

For cricket fans in India, live matches are a must. In 2025, they saw a simplified broadcast that covered TV and digital audiences.

Television Telecast: For the 2025 India tour of Australia, the broadcast rights went to Star Sports Network. Across the country, fans tuned in to Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 HD, and Star Sports 1 Hindi. The network also gave full coverage, which included pre-match shows, in-depth analysis from cricket greats, and post-match reports.

Also, in addition to the cable network, Doordan, which is the public service broadcaster, played a key role in making sports viewing widespread. We had a free telecast of the matches on DD Sports, which was available only to DD Free Dish users. This, in turn, made cricket accessible to millions of viewers in remote and rural areas who didn’t have to pay for a subscription.

Live Streaming: In a large-scale change to digital consumption, the live stream of the series was made available on the JioHotstar app and website. After the consolidation of digital sports rights in India, JioHotstar became the one-stop place for cricket fans. The platform, which also featured 4K stream quality, multi-camera angles and interactive scoreboards, gave fans the ability to watch the matches on the go via their smartphones, tablets, or smart TVs.

Series Schedule and Venues

The three-match ODI series was played at what many consider to be Australia’s best grounds, which in turn tested the Indian team against pace and bounce.

• 1st ODI: In 2025, on October at Perth Stadium in Perth.
• 2nd ODI: Played in 2025 at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.
• 3rd ODI: Played on October 25, 2025, at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney.

Live Status and Series Result

As of December 2025, the series has come to an end, which lived up to pre-series hype.

Series Outcome: Australia won the series 3-2.

Australia hosted the series, which they dominated from the start. In the first ODI in Perth, they put on a great performance, which saw them take the victory, and they used the home advantage to put the Indian team under pressure. That momentum carried into the second ODI at Adelaide, which was a very close game, in which Australia came out on top, thus securing a 2-0 series win.

In that which was a do-or-die game at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the Indian team displayed great resilience. They came out playing for pride in the 3rd ODI and put in a dominant performance, which saw them through. That win also took care of a whitewash and, in the end, left the series with a positive note for the away team.

Conclusion

In 2025, India and Australia brought us some unforgettable games with regard to play, competitiveness and level of cricket that we have not seen for a while, although it was Australia that lifted the trophy. What caught the eyes of all was India’s fightback in the final game, which gave the squad credit for their depth and character. For those who didn’t get to see all the action at the time, don’t fret, we’ve got your back in the form of highlights and full match reviews on JioHotstar as well as at the official social media outlets of the boards. As the 2026 cricket season comes around and the build-up to the next ICC tournaments begins, that series will be held up as an important benchmark to go to by both teams’ camps.
