It is entirely safe to say that India and Australia have been the best ODI outfits around since the 21st century. Both sides exhibit a complete sense of competition and determination, and the games churned out by this pair in the last few years, remain unmatched. When these two heavyweights step on to the arena to take the field, one thing is certainly guaranteed – Entertainment.
Who can forget the famous India – Australia ODI series of late 2013, where scores more than 350 were a regular sight across the five games. It was a series dominated by the batting prowess of both sides and even their next engagement in Australia early last year, was a similar affair, with batting outclassing the other department.
Both these world beating outfits have been a home to some of the greatest batsmen of all time. If Australia had Ricky Ponting, India had Sachin Tendulkar. Or rather, if Australia now has David Warner, India has Virat Kohli.
With batting strength set to take centre stage come the 17th of September, below, we have a look at the top five run-getters in India – Australia matches.
