The International Cricket Council (ICC) took to its official Twitter handle and revealed the top three batsmen who have notched up most number of runs in the 50-over format against the Aussies.

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is leading the list with a total of 3,077 runs in 70 ODIs he played against the Australian side in his illustrious cricketing career.The legendary cricketer also smashed nine centuries and five half-centuries against Australia.

The master blaster is followed by Indian opener Rohit Sharma, who has a total of 2,208 runs in his account against Australia including eight centuries and as many half-centuries.

Kohli rounds off the top three list with 1,910 runs at an average of 54.57 in the 50-over format against the Aussies. The Indian captain has also scored eight tons and as many fifties against them.

“Most runs for India against Australia in ODIs: 3077 – Sachin Tendulkar, 2208 – Rohit Sharma, 1910 – Virat Kohli. Will India captain reach the 2000-run mark against Australia in the upcoming #AUSvIND ODI series?” the ICC tweeted.

The 32-year-old skipper will now look to cross the 2000-run mark in the upcoming three-match ODI series against the Aaron Finch-led side, beginning November 27 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Kohli will also aim to break Tendulkar’s record of fastest batsman to score 12,000 runs in the 50-overs cricket.

Kohli, who has notched up a total of 11,867 runs in 239 innings so far, is just 133 runs shy of reaching the landmark.Tendulkar, meanwhile, took over 300 innings to cross the 12,000-run mark in the 50-over format.

On a related note, Sharma has been rested for the upcoming limited-overs fixture after a recurring hamstring injury forced him to miss most of the second-half of the Mumbai Indians’ successful campaign at the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League.
