The India cricket team toured Australia from November 2020 to January 2021 to play four Tests, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The Test series formed part of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship, and the ODI series formed part of the inaugural ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4]
In February 2020, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that they wanted to play one of the Test matches as a day/night fixture.[5] On 22 October 2020, the tour was approved by the NSW Government,[6] with Sydney and Canberra confirmed as the hosts of the limited overs matches.[7] Four days later, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour.[8] On 9 November 2020, the BCCI announced that India's captain Virat Kohli had been granted paternity leave, and left the tour after the first Test match.[9] Ajinkya Rahane led the Indian team in Kohli's absence.[10]
Australia won the first and second ODI matches to take a lead in the series.[11] India won the third ODI match by 13 runs,[12] with Australia winning the series 2–1.[13] India also won the first and second T20I matches, winning the T20I series with a game to spare, after series victory Virat Kohli becomes first captain to win T20I series in both Australia and England[14] Australia won the third and final match by 12 runs, with India winning the series 2–1.[15]
In the first Test, India were bowled out for 36 runs in the second innings,[16] their lowest team total in a Test match.[17] Australia went on to win the match by eight wickets.[18] India then won the second Test by the same margin to level the series.[19] The third Test ended in a draw, with the series remaining at 1–1.[20] India won the fourth and final Test match by three wickets, to win the series 2–1.[21]
Background
In April 2020, Kevin Roberts, CEO of Cricket Australia looked at "creative" solutions for the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] These included the possibility of playing five Test matches instead of four,[23] and to play all the Test matches behind closed doors at the Adelaide Oval.[24] The Australian government was also looking at applying international travel exemptions to allow the tour to happen.[25] The following month, the BCCI confirmed that they were willing to put players in a two-week quarantine period to ensure that the tour goes ahead.[26][27] Kevin Roberts later added that there is a "nine out of 10" chance of the tour taking place.[28][29] The Test series was scheduled to start in December 2020, with the first Test in Brisbane.[30] The ODI series was scheduled to start in January 2021.[31] On 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed all of the fixtures for the series.[32][33] The following day, Kevin Roberts stated that the number of Test venues could be reduced to one or two grounds, depending on any travel restrictions imposed due to the virus.[34]
Originally, the tour was also going to start with three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches, commencing on 11 October 2020, ahead of the then scheduled 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[1] However, in July 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the tournament had been postponed until 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[35] As a result, the T20I matches were postponed,[36] after they clashed with the revised fixtures for the 2020 Indian Premier League.[37] Despite a lockdown in Melbourne in August 2020, Cricket Australia said they would do everything they can to ensure the Boxing Day Test goes ahead as planned.[38][39] Cricket Australia were also looking at a revised schedule for the tour, including playing all the limited-overs matches before the Test series.[40] On 20 August 2020, Sourav Ganguly, president of the BCCI, said that India's senior men's team would travel to Australia to fulfil their Future Tours Programme (FTP) commitments.[41]
In September 2020, Cricket Australia were looking at further contingency plans for the tour, including moving venues if needed, and the possibility of replacing the Test match in Brisbane with white-ball fixtures.[42] It was later announced that no matches of any form of cricket would be played in Perth, due to a major quarantine breach by then-Sydney Swans player Elijah Taylor during the 2020 AFL season.[43]
In October 2020, an updated tour itinerary was published, with the ODIs taking place in Brisbane, the T20Is taking place in Adelaide, and the day/night Test match also taking place in Adelaide.[44] Cricket Australia also confirmed that the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Manuka Oval in Canberra were part of their contingency plan to host the limited overs matches of the tour.[45][46]
In October 2020, plans began to emerge to allow crowds back into venues, with Australia slowly coming out of COVID-19 restrictions.[47] The following month, Cricket Australia confirmed the ground capacities for each match on the tour,[48] with the possibility of more tickets being made available closer to the start of each match.[49]
In late December 2020, there was a COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney, prompting tighter restrictions in New South Wales.[50] As a result, Cricket Australia looked at the contingency of swapping the venues of the third and fourth Tests in Sydney and Brisbane respectively.[51] Other scenarios that Cricket Australia were looking at was to host the last two Tests in Sydney, to avoid travel between states,[52] or to host the second and third Tests in Melbourne.[53] On 29 December 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that Sydney would host the third Test as scheduled.[54] On 4 January 2021, the crowd capacity of the Sydney Cricket Ground was reduced from 50% to 25%.[55]
Squads
On 26 October 2020, India named their squad for the tour, with Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Kartik Tyagi, Ishan Porel and T.

Natarajan was added to India's T20I squad, replacing Varun Chakravarthy who was ruled out due to an injury,[68] and Sanju Samson was added to India's ODI squad as an extra wicket-keeper.[69] Kamlesh Nagarkoti, one of the four additional bowlers named for the tour, was also ruled out due to the management of his workload.[70] On 12 November 2020, the Indian squad arrived in Sydney to begin a two-week long quarantine period.[71] On 24 November 2020, the BCCI confirmed that Ishant Sharma and Rohit Sharma had been ruled out of the first two Test matches.[72] On 26 November 2020, T.

On 9 December 2020, David Warner was ruled out of Australia's squad for the first Test in Adelaide, due to an injury.[86] On 12 December 2020, Marcus Harris was added to Australia's squad,[87] after Will Pucovski was ruled out of the first Test in Adelaide due to a concussion.[88] On 14 December 2020, Sean Abbott was ruled out of Australia's squad for the first Test due to an injury,[89] with Moises Henriques named as Abbott's replacement.[90] On 23 December 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that both David Warner and Sean Abbott had also been ruled out of the second Test.[91] On 30 December 2020, Joe Burns was dropped from Australia's squad for the third and fourth Tests,[92] with David Warner, Will Pucovski and Sean Abbott returning to the Test squad.[93] On 4 January 2021, James Pattinson was ruled out of the third Test, and was not replaced in Australia's squad.[94] Will Pucovski was ruled out of Australia's squad for the fourth Test due to a shoulder injury, with Marcus Harris named as his replacement.[95]
