India vs Australia 2019, 3rd ODI – Statistical Preview

India stands one step away from clinching their 3rd consecutive ODI series against Australia after a close 8-run win in Nagpur. Virat Kohli’s century gave India a defendable total and his bowlers did not disappoint him by pulling back the things in the last six overs. The Aaron Finch-led side now faces a must-win situation as they need to win the remaining three matches to register their maiden ODI series in the last 25 months.

Here are all the key stats and numbers ahead of a do-or-die game for Australia in Ranchi:

18 – The century by Virat Kohli in the previous game was his first against Australia in the previous 18 innings across all formats at home. It was also Kohli’s maiden hundred as captain at home against the Aussies. Kohli scored five hundreds as captain against them in Australia.

20 – Jasprit Bumrah has claimed 20 wickets from his previous ten ODI games by picking up at least two wickets in eight of those ten matches.

43.05 – Marcus Stoinis’ batting average in ODI losses is the highest for any player who has batted 20 or more times in ODI defeats. The all-rounder has scored 818 runs from 22 innings with an unbeaten 146 and six fifties in Australian defeats. Only Johnathan Trott (50.12) has a higher average in ODI losses than Stoinis.

He averages 70.5 in unsuccessful ODI chases having scored 564 runs from ten innings with a century and five fifties. No other player averages more than 51 in unsuccessful ODI chases with a minimum of 500 runs.

261 – Virat Kohli’s batting average in ODI cricket at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. Kohli has scored 261 runs across three innings at this venue. His ODI scores here read 77*, 139*, 45.

349 – Number of sixes Rohit Sharma has hit in his international career so far. If Rohit hits one more six, he will be the 2nd Indian after MS Dhoni to hit 350 international sixes. He will also be the first player to achieve this feat for India as Dhoni has only 345 sixes while playing for India.

3973 – Virat Kohli needs 27 more runs for completing 4000 runs as captain in the ODI format. His deputy Rohit Sharma (2934) is 66 away from 3000 ODI runs on the Indian soil.
