Virat has a fantastic record against Australia in ODIs.
In 48 clashes against Aussies, he has scored 2,313 runs at an average of 53.79, with eight centuries and 13 fifties in 46 innings. It would not be surprising if Virat once again takes a giant jump in front of over 1 lakh fans at the stadium after scoring a match-winning century or breaks another record against the mighty Aussies.
Virat is also the highest run-scorer in the tournament, with 711 runs in 10 matches at an average of over 101 with three centuries and five fifties.
But there are two bowlers who could push Virat to his absolute limits, force him into a shell and get his prized wicket, i.e., the pacer Josh Hazlewood and spinner Adam Zampa.
Virat has an extremely weak record against Hazlewood.
Hazlewood's pace, line and length have unsettled him really well. Virat and Hazlewood have faced off in eight innings and have scored just 54 runs against him in 88 balls.
54 of these balls have been dots.
