MUMBAI: The opening game of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be held here tomorrow.
Indian stars Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel will be in action in the ODI series, which will be the home team’s last assignment before the start of IPL 2023.
All eyes will be on Virat Kohli as the star batter will look to continue from where he left in the 4th and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Ahmedabad.
After having scored a drought-ending Test century and making it a big score (186), Kohli will be keen on continuing his good run of form.
Kohli is eyeing major milestones in the series.
The former captain is 191 runs away from becoming the 5th batter to complete 13,000 runs in ODI cricket after Sachin Tendulkar (18426), Kumar Sangakkara (14,234), Ricky Ponting (13,704), and Sanath Jayasuriya (13,430).
He is is also 3 hundreds away from equalling Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of most ODI hundreds (49).
Notably, Kohli has hit three centuries in a span of the last 4 months after having ended his long wait for the ODI century in Bangladesh last December.
