India's new captain, Shubman Gill, and Australia's skipper, Mitchell Marsh, were called out for the toss ahead of the first IND vs AUS ODI in Perth. 

Marsh won the toss and has elected to bowl first in this match. Gill too said that he would have liked to bowl first. Nevertheless, it will now be time for the Men in Blue to set up a challenging total. 

Notably, Nitish Kumar Reddy will make his ODI debut for India today after being selected in the Playing XI. He toured and played for the side in Australia during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series and even scored a ton.
