TEAM AUSTRALIA to play in pune after 10 long years!
The last game played at the Nehru Stadium, back in 2001, saw the visitors chase a competitive Indian team total of 248 runs. Mark Waugh stroked a sublime 133* that helped the Aussies win in 45.1 overs losing just 2 wickets in the process.
Can the World ODI champions return the favour this time around? Who will light up the contest and renew the Sachin-McGrath rivalry? Will it now be the Kohli-Siddle show?
Infodot : Darren Lehman is the only common factor between that game on March 28, 2001 and the one that will be played on the 13th of October 2013 - by being a player then and the Australian team coach now!
Time Ticker --> 52 days to go!
