India's 2018-19 tour of Australia
The tour began with the T20I series, with the first match in Brisbane on November 21, 2018. The match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. In the second match in Melbourne, India won by 6 wickets with 2 balls remaining. The third match in Sydney was won by Australia by 4 runs, thus drawing the series 1-1.
The Test series followed, with the first match in Adelaide from December 6-10, 2018. Cheteshwar Pujara scored his 5,000th run in Tests, and India won by 31 runs. The second Test in Perth, from December 14-18, 2018, was notable for Virat Kohli's 25th century in Tests and Rishabh Pant becoming the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a century in Australia. India won the match by 137 runs. The third Test in Melbourne, from December 26-30, 2018, was drawn due to rain. The fourth and final Test in Sydney, from January 3-7, 2019, was also affected by rain and ended in a draw.

India's 2020-21 tour of Australia
India toured Australia from November 2020 to January 2021 to play four Tests, three One Day Internationals (ODIs), and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The Test series was part of the ICC World Test Championship, and the ODI series formed part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
The tour was approved by the NSW Government on 22 October 2020, with Sydney and Canberra hosting the limited-overs matches. The first Test match was played in Adelaide from 17-19 December, with Australia winning by eight wickets. India bounced back to win the second Test in Melbourne by the same margin, levelling the series. The third Test in Sydney ended in a draw, with India winning the fourth and final Test in Brisbane by three wickets to take the series 2–1.
The ODI series started in January 2021, with India winning the third ODI in Canberra by 13 runs. However, it is unclear who won the ODI series.
The tour was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with Cricket Australia considering "creative" solutions to ensure it went ahead. There was also a COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney in late December 2020, leading to tighter restrictions in New South Wales and venue changes for some matches.

Virat Kohli's captaincy
Virat Kohli is widely regarded as one of the greatest batters of all time. He is also considered one of the most successful captains India has ever had, especially in Tests. Kohli captained India in a record 68 Tests, winning 40 of them, before stepping down from Test captaincy in 2022. His captaincy is characterised as proactive, taking bold decisions and leading the team by example. He is well known for his passionate and animated responses to on-field situations, demonstrating a fierce competitiveness.
Kohli's international career began in August 2008 when the 19-year-old was called up to the ODI squad for a tour of Sri Lanka. He opened the batting due to injuries to senior players and scored his first half-century in the fourth match. In 2010, Kohli was appointed vice-captain for a tri-series in Zimbabwe and became the fastest Indian to score 1,000 ODI runs at that time. He first stood in as captain in 2013 when MS Dhoni was injured and subsequently led India in an ODI series against Zimbabwe.
The crowning glory of his captaincy came in 2018-19 when the Kohli-led side won India's first-ever Test series in Australia. In the process, Kohli scored his 25th Test hundred. Kohli was also the captain of the Indian team for the ODI World Cup in 2019. He is the only player in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to have played all seasons for one team: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Kohli's playing style is widely regarded as aggressive, a trait that extends to his leadership on the field. He is known for demanding a lot from his bowlers, especially the quick ones, and often sacrifices a batter for bowling depth. He is credited with changing attitudes towards fitness in Indian cricket, introducing endurance tests as a criterion for selection.

India's ODI record in Australia
In the 2018-19 season, India toured Australia to play three ODIs, among other fixtures. Australia won the first match by 34 runs, recording their 1,000th win in international cricket. However, India bounced back to win the next two games and the series 2-1, claiming their first bilateral ODI series victory in Australia. This series saw Virat Kohli become the fifth cricketer to score 10,000 runs for India in ODIs, and Rishabh Pant became the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a century in Australia.
The 2020-21 tour saw India play another three ODIs in Australia. Australia won the first two matches, and India claimed the third ODI by 13 runs, resulting in a 2-1 series victory for Australia. This series was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with Cricket Australia initially considering a revised schedule and contingency plans. The T20I matches were postponed due to clashes with the 2020 Indian Premier League. India's captain Virat Kohli was also granted paternity leave after the first Test match, with Ajinkya Rahane taking over the captaincy duties for the remainder of the tour.
