Kohli needs 1 more hundred to equal Tendulkar's record in India-Australia ODIs
Rohit is on the verge of overtaking Ricky Ponting on India-Australia batting charts
Rohit needs 56 runs to become the 7th Indian to 9000 ODI runs
After clinching a relatively easy win over Sri Lanka in T20Is, India will turn their attention to Australia when the two sides meet in what is expected to be a high-octane ODI series from January 14 at home.
There's a lot to look forward to despite the scheduling of the ODI series in the T20 World Cup year. Australia clinched a 3-2 win over India to dent the Asian giants' winning run at home when they visited in 2019. In fact, Australia were trailing 0-2 before they overturned the deficit and completed a remarkable comeback.
The focus will be on India's top-order as the hosts are likely to include both Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul who were competing to partner Rohit Sharma. Captain Virat Kohli said on the eve of the 1st T20I that he is ready to drop himself down a spot to accommodate the 3 openers at the top of the batting order.
With both sides boasting power-packed line-ups, one can expect high-scoring encounters in Mumbai, Rajkot and Bengaluru.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will look to continue from where they left in 2019. The two batsmen were breaking records at will and it's likely to remain that way in the New Year.
Rohit Sharma, who is returning to the India set-up after missing the T20Is against Sri Lanka, is eyeing a major milestone as India and Australia gear up for the ODI series.
Rohit needs 128 runs to overtake former Australia captain Ricky Ponting on the list of most runs scored in India-Australia ODIs. Sachin Tendulkar is on top of the list at the moment while Virat Kohli is behind the 3 batsmen at the 4th spot.
After a T20I series against neighbours Sri Lanka to kickstart the New year, India would get ready to host a more formidable Australian team in a three-match ODI series starting January 14. Virat Kohli would lead the Indian outfit as Australia would be marshalled by Aaron Finch.
Nearly 12 months ago, Finch's Australia had travelled to India to take on a side many expected to go all the way in the ICC Cricket World Cup later in the year. Neither side went on to reach the final in the World Cup, but Australia's 3-2 series win marked a key moment in what has proved a major form swing.
