India’s performance in Australia
Winning ODI on Australian soil has always been a challenge for India. Till now the Indian team has faced each other in Australia in 54 ODI matches. Of these, 14 matches were won, 38 were lost, and 2 matches ended without result. That means the winning percentage has been around 26 percent. However, in the last few years, India has improved its performance in Australia and has registered many memorable wins.
India’s biggest score in Australia
India made its highest score of 338/9 in ODI cricket in Australia. This record was made on 29 November 2020 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. At the same time, India’s biggest ODI win came in 1991 at the WACA Ground in Perth, when Team India defeated Australia by 107 runs. Even in Melbourne, India has defeated Australia twice by 8 wickets.
Rohit Sharma’s dominance in Australia
When it comes to batting in Australia, Rohit Sharma’s name comes at the top. He has scored 990 runs in 19 ODI matches played in Australia so far, which is more than any Indian batsman. Rohit has scored four centuries, the most memorable of which came in Perth (2016), when he scored unbeaten 171 runs in 163 balls.
In the 19 matches he played in Australia, he scored runs at an impressive average of 58.23 and hit 29 sixes, which is the highest record for any Indian. Rohit had created history by scoring 441 runs in the five-match series in January 2016.
Expectations from the series
This tour will not be easy for Team India, but this is an opportunity for young captain Shubman Gill to prove himself. If the Indian batsmen perform better on the fast pitches of Australia and the bowlers take early wickets, then this series can prove to be historic for Team India.
