Udaipur, Oct 25, 2025: The Indian cricket team is playing its third ODI against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday, Oct 25. Having already lost the series, Team India faced a setback before the match, which forced a change in the playing XI. This game is very important for India, as the team will try to save some pride after losing the series. India lost the first two ODIs in Perth and Adelaide, letting the series slip away. Now, India will aim to finish the series with a win.

Nitish Kumar Reddy Injured

All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who scored quickly in the lower order in the first ODI in Perth, will not play in this match due to injury. Kuldeep Yadav has replaced him in the team. The BCCI said Nitish injured his left leg in the second ODI and is now under the supervision of the BCCI medical team.
