The highly anticipated white-ball series between Australia and India, scheduled for October and November, is creating significant excitement, especially within the Indian diaspora. Following the remarkable success of Ashes ticket sales, the demand for the limited-overs matches is skyrocketing. Over 90,000 tickets have been sold across eight games within just two weeks of their public release.

Public ticket allocations for the SCG ODI and the Manuka Oval T20I in Canberra are already sold out, four months in advance. This highlights the incredible anticipation surrounding the series. Tickets for the MCG T20I and Gabba T20I are also selling rapidly.

Cricket Australia has reported that Indian fan groups are a major driving force behind this surge in demand. To date, over 16% of all tickets have been purchased by Indian supporters' clubs. The Bharat Army has acquired more than 2,400 tickets, while Fans India has secured over 1,400.

Other groups, such as the Indian Community of Gold Coast and Pakka Local, have also secured over 500 tickets each for games at the Gold Coast and MCG.

Joel Morrison, Cricket Australia’s Executive General Manager of Events & Operations, shared his enthusiasm: "The public ticket allocation exhaustion for the SCG ODI and Manuka Oval T20I, four months prior to the series, demonstrates the huge interest among cricket fans for the upcoming season.

"We are excited to see ongoing strong engagement among the Indian diaspora, building on the record-breaking Border Gavaskar series last summer. The expected strong turnout of Australian and Indian fans will create a fantastic atmosphere at each match.

"There is significant interest in what is expected to be our biggest summer of cricket. We encourage fans to purchase tickets early to avoid missing out on the action.”
