5 records that can be broken in the Australia-India ODI series

While this might come as a surprise to many, the Australia-India series, which starts on Tuesday will be the first bilateral ODI series between the two countries in Australia.All of India's ODIs against Australia in Australia have been part of a series involving three or more teams. While that is one record that is certainly going to be broken in the series, there are a few more that look likely to be broken over the course of the next couple of weeks.While Rohit Sharma may, on current form, improve his already impressive record against Australia, that is a possibility rather than a probability.Here are 5 records that can be broken in the Australia-India ODI series.

#1 MS Dhoni becoming the fifth Indian to cross 9,000 ODI runs

India's limited-overs skipper, who recently became only the sixth Indian batsman (after Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Mohammad Azharuddin and Yuvraj Singh) to cross 11,000 List-A runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, will have a chance to add another record to his name.

Dhoni, who will start the series on 8,832 ODI runs, only needs 168 runs in the series to become only the fifth Indian after Sachin, Ganguly, Dravid and Azharuddin to cross 9,000 ODI runs.

The 34-year-old scored over 200 runs at an average of 53 in the ODI series against South Africa, which India lost 3-2 and also finished the Vijay Hazare Trophy strongly, after a poor start for Jharkhand.

Although he didn't turn up a noteworthy performance in the two warm-up matches, the Indian skipper has time and again proven that he is the man for the big occasions and India will be hoping he leads the side with the bat in hand.
