Kohli had embarrassed, will Hardik be able to wash away the stain? The team has been in bad shape in Mumbai

Mumbai: After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India and Australia are ready for a three-match ODI series. The first match of the series will be played on March 17 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Although Team India has definitely defeated Australia 2-1 in the Test series, but the ODIs are expected to be a close contest. Especially when the match is being played in Mumbai, the challenge becomes more difficult for India against Australia. Because Team India’s record in ODIs against Australia in Mumbai has not been anything special.

In such a situation, there will be a tough test for Hardik Pandya as captain in ODIs. Regular captain Rohit is not available in the first ODI of the series. For this reason, Hardik Pandya will captain Team India in the first match. In such a situation, if Team India under the captaincy of Hardik defeats the Kangaroo team in Mumbai, then it will be a great start in the series.

How is India’s record against Australia in Mumbai?

The record of the Indian team against Australia at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has not been anything special. Both the teams have faced each other a total of four times at this ground. During this, Australia won thrice. India got the only victory in the year 2007 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Earlier, under the captaincy of Mohammad Azharuddin (1996), Rahul Dravid (2003) and Virat Kohli (2020), Team India had to face defeat badly.

In such a situation, if the Indian team wins the first match under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, then he will become the second captain after Dhoni to defeat the Kangaroo team in Wankhede. However, it is not going to be easy at all for Hardik Pandya.

On the other hand, talking about Team India’s batting on this ground, its highest score against Australia is only 255 runs, which was made under the captaincy of Virat Kohli in 2020. Australia won this match by 10 wickets by scoring 258 runs in just 37.4 overs. Aaron Finch (110) and David Warner (128) played excellent centuries for Australia.
