India vs Australia Flashback: Memorable ODI Innings By Indian Batsmen In Australia

Team India will begin their much-anticipated Australia tour with the three-match ODI series beginning November 27. While India's ODI record is not that great in Australia, things changed for them

Sachin Tendulkar's 117 not out (2008, Sydney):

In the first final of the 2008 CB Series, Tendulkar played one of the finest ODI knocks by an Indian player in Australia. Chasing 240 for victory, India needed a good start and Tendulkar provided just that impetus.

While the team lost opener Robin Uthappa, Gautam Gambhir, and Yuvraj Singh cheaply, Tendulkar held one end up. Using all his experience, the 'Master Blaster' played a very mature knock and occupied the crease for 235 minutes during which he faced 120 deliveries and scored 117 runs with the help of 10 fours. Incidentally, it was his first ODI century in Australia, his 42nd in total.

The champion batsman carried that form into the second final, in which he scored 91 to help India post 258 for nine wickets, and defended that total successfully to win the CB Series title.
