New Delhi: India’s cricket winter home season begins on the coming weekend as the national team gets set to take on Australia in the first ODI of the five-match series in Chennai on Sunday.
Captain Virat Kohli will be the man in focus both as batsman and captain. Ahead of the Australian limited-overs battle, Kohli posted a video and pictures on Twitter. See them below.

Kohli will want to continue the hot form that the Indian team has found in recent months. It is fresh from a five-match ODI sweep in Sri Lanka and will look to dominate the Australians who are having several headaches even before the start of the series.
The Aussies are literally having a second-string attack as Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and James Pattinson are all out injured. Even Aaron Finch, who is a part of the squad, is doubtful.
India on the other hand will be without the services of Shikhar Dhawan who has asked for a personal leave for the start of the ODI series.
