Top 10 Highest individual scores in India v Australia ODIs

8. Ricky Ponting 140*:

This knock came at probably the most important India v Australia game. Ricky Ponting and his team were just one step away from lifting their third World Cup. Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly won the todd of the 2003 World cup finals at Johannesburg and asked the Aussies to bat first. Gilchrist and Hayden gave Australia the perfect start. But, the 14th over saw the end of Gilchrist which brought the skipper in the middle and what Ponting did thereafter is regarded as one of the best innings ever played in a World Cup final. Punter slammed 8 sixes and 4 boundaries to score 140 not out off 121 balls and fired Australia to a humongous total of 359 for two. He added 234 runs for the third wicket with Damien Martyn, who scored 88* off 84 balls. Australia eventually thrashed India by 125 runs in the final to lift the trophy.
