India had not lost a home ODI series since 2019. It was Australia who ended India’s run then and they have repeated their feat again. The Virat Kohli-captained side had taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series before a stunning comeback saw the Aussies win the series 3-2. India have since then not lost a bilateral series at home.
