The highly anticipated white-ball series between Australia and India, scheduled for October and November, is witnessing a surge in demand, especially from the Indian diaspora. Following the success of the Ashes ticket sales, the limited-overs matches are proving to be a major draw, with over 90,000 tickets already sold for eight games within two weeks of going on sale to the public.

India and Australia ready for white-ball series.

India and Australia are set to clash in three ODIs and five T20Is this October and November.

Notably, public ticket allocations for the SCG ODI and the Manuka Oval T20I in Canberra have been completely sold out a full four months ahead of the scheduled matches. Tickets for the MCG T20I and Gabba T20I are also being snapped up quickly.

Cricket Australia reports that a significant portion of this demand is being driven by Indian fan groups. More than 16% of all tickets sold thus far have been purchased by Indian supporters' clubs. The Bharat Army leads the way, having secured over 2,400 tickets, while Fans India has acquired more than 1,400.

In terms of individual contributions, Amit Goyal from Brissy Baniyas, an Aggarwal community group, has purchased 880 tickets for the Gabba T20I, making him the largest single-match buyer. Other groups, such as the Indian Community of Gold Coast and Pakka Local, have also secured over 500 tickets each for the games at the Gold Coast and MCG.

Joel Morrison, Cricket Australia’s Executive General Manager of Events & Operations, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Exhausting our public ticket allocation for the SCG ODI and Manuka Oval T20I four months prior to the series is a testament to the tremendous interest for the upcoming season amongst cricket fans."

He further added, "We are thrilled to see continued strong engagement amongst Indian diaspora off the back of a record-breaking Border Gavaskar series last summer. The forecast strong turnout of Australian and Indian fans means we’ll again have a fantastic atmosphere at each match. There is extreme interest in what promises to be our biggest ever summer of cricket, so we encourage fans to buy early to avoid missing out on the action.”
