After starting the year on a winning note, the captain Kohli and his team are ready to avenge their home series loss against Australia last year.
The first of the three-match series will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Both teams finished the 2019 ICC World Cup as losing semi-finalists.
While Australia boast of the most successful team in the history of the 50-over format, India have been the superpowers for a decade now.
