Australia haven’t played an ODI in Delhi since 1998, which means Ponting is the only man in their squad with international one-day experience there.

The quality of the Kotla pitch in Delhi was slammed during the Champions League Twenty20, when slow, low bounce made it mighty hard to score runs. For the ODI the pitch is expected to be a bit better, but not much. Batsmen will need to be extra judicious in protecting against straight balls due to the low bounce. In short, don’t expect a repeat of the 354 India posted in Nagpur.

Gautam Gambhir: Yes, it was Dhoni who stole the show in Nagpur but in both matches so far Gambhir has contributed substantially at the top of the order. In Vadodara, his 68 from 85 deliveries steadied India after the early loss of the openers, and in Nagpur, he made 76 off 80 balls to set up the platform from which Dhoni launched his assault. The Australians will be desperate to remove Gambhir early at the Kotla; India will look to their No. 3 for another anchoring role.

Australia won the first Test at Bangalore by 217 runs thanks to debutant Michael Clarke’s 151 and Gilchrist’s murderous 104 and some tight bowling. Harbhajan excelled with 11 wickets in the match but India could not force a win. Rain scuppered a classic as the teams moved to Chennai. Kumble took 7 for 48 and Virender Sehwag blazed 155 out of India’s first-innings 376. Australia suffered in the heat, dropping catches as McGrath cut a pale shadow of himself, but a superb second-innings hundred from Damien Martyn gave the bowlers something to go for. The match was delicately poised as India, needing 229 to win, finished the fourth day on 19 for 1 but heavy overnight rain deprived the Test of a result, which it deserved. Australia conquered that frontier with a big win at Nagpur that was highlighted by Martyn and Clarke. The final Test, on a minefield of a pitch at the Wankhede Stadium, went India’s way as Australia were bowled out for 93 in a low-scoring thriller. Tendulkar and Laxman scripted fighting half-centuries before Clarke nipped out six wickets, but Harbhajan and Murali Kartik pulled off a scarcely credible 13-run victory.
