Australian cricket team in India in 2017–18


The Australia cricket team toured India in September and October 2017 to play five One Day Internationals and three Twenty20 International matches. The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed the full dates in September 2017. Ahead of the ODIs, Australia played a 50-over warm-up match against India's Board President XI, with Australia winning by 103 runs. India won the ODI series 4–1 and returned to the top of the ICC ODI Championship.

The T20I series was drawn 1–1, with the third match called off due to a wet outfield.
