What Makes This Season Special?
Let’s be honest — no series generates more buzz among Indian cricket fans than a home Test series against Australia. The season builds up to the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, as India take on Australia for a five-match Test series starting January 21, 2027, which will be a key part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025–27.

India last hosted Australia for a Test series in 2022/23, where they won 2-1 in a four-match series. The rematch on home soil is already the talk of the cricketing world.
Before that marquee clash, fans across the country will be treated to white-ball action. The West Indies series starts with a 3-match ODI affair in Trivandrum, Guwahati, and New Chandigarh, followed by a 5-match T20I series — marking the West Indies’ return to India since their 2022 white-ball tour.
Notably, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is set to host international games for the first time since October 2024. That alone will make the Sri Lanka series a sell-out.
