In-form Virat Kohli will be the center of attraction when India start their three-match ODI series against Australia. Kohli, who recently ended his century drought in Tests, has been in great form in white-ball cricket in the last six months, and is on verge of breaking multiple records in the upcoming 50-over series.
The former India captain is just 191 runs shy of completing 13000 runs in ODIs and become the fifth cricketer on planet after Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya. Kohli is also just 48 runs away from surpassing Ponting for most ODI runs at home.

India have already identified their core group for the World Cup later this year. The series is a good opportunity for them to show they belong there. Meanwhile, the likes of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and KL Rahul all have a chance to press their claim for a place in the side.
