The highly anticipated white-ball series between Australia and India, scheduled for October and November, is generating considerable excitement, particularly within the Indian diaspora. Riding on the heels of the successful Ashes ticket sales, the demand for tickets to the limited-overs matches has surged. An impressive 90,000 tickets have been sold across eight games within a mere two weeks of being released to the public.

Public ticket allocations for the SCG ODI and the Manuka Oval T20I in Canberra have already sold out. This occurred an impressive four months ahead of the scheduled matches, highlighting the eagerness of fans awaiting this series. Tickets for the MCG T20I and Gabba T20I are also selling at a rapid pace.

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

Among individual community initiatives, Amit Goyal from Brissy Baniyas, an Aggarwal community group, has purchased 880 tickets for the Gabba T20I. This makes him the largest single-match buyer. 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, conveyed his enthusiasm: "The exhaustion of our public ticket allocation for the SCG ODI and Manuka Oval T20I four months before the series is a testament to the tremendous interest among cricket fans for the upcoming season."

"We are thrilled to witness continuous strong engagement among the Indian diaspora, building upon the record-breaking Border Gavaskar series last summer. The predicted strong attendance of both Australian and Indian fans ensures a fantastic atmosphere at each match."

"There is extreme interest in what promises to be our biggest summer of cricket ever. Therefore, we encourage fans to purchase tickets early to avoid missing out on the action.”
