India vs Australia ODI Records: Most Runs, Wickets, & All-Time Stats

Two countries, India and Australia, have produced some of the best batting talents in the game of cricket: Adam Gilchrist, Steve Smith, and Michael Clarke from Australia and the men in blue have the trio – of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have been brilliant against their times’ Australian sides.

Among bowlers, Indian bowling legends like Zaheer Khan and Anil Kumble have been effective against the Aussie batters, and the fiery Australian pacers Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, and Brett Lee have done well against the Indian side whenever the teams clashed.

We now put our focus on the individual heroics of the players, who contributed to some of the most crucial wins between the two sides, which in turn made us witness some memorable matches.

CHECK: IND VS AUS – HEAD TO HEAD STATS IN ODI


Most Runs for India against Australia in ODIs

Player Innings Runs Average 100s
Sachin Tendulkar 70 3077 44.59 9
Rohit Sharma 45 2379 58.02 8
Virat Kohli 47 2367 53.79 8
MS Dhoni 48 1660 44.86 2
Shikhar Dhawan 29 1265 45.18 4
Mohammad Azharuddin 41 990 28.28 0

Rahul Dravid 36 928 25.77 0
Sunil Gavaskar 25 840 36.52 0
Kris Srikkanth 28 789 29.22 1

Master blaster is showing his class here again. There is a reason why everyone refers to him as the “God of Cricket.” The second person on the list is close to 800 runs behind the guy topping the list.

Two modern-day greats, Hitman Sharma and Virat Kohli are among the only players with a 50+ average.


Most Runs for Australia against India in ODIs

Player Innings Runs Average 100s
Ricky Ponting 59 2164 40.07 6
Adam Gilchrist 45 1622 36.86 1
Aaron Finch 31 1460 48.67 4
Mathew Hayden 28 1450 53.70 3
Steve Smith 25 1310 52.40 5
David Warner 26 1222 48.88 3
David Boon 29 1212 46.62 2
Steve Waugh 45 1117 29.39 0
Allan Border 35 1104 42.46 1
Michael Bevan 31 1081 49.13 1

Kind of a similar trend to that of what India’s highest run scorers have had. Two players have an astonishing average of above 50. Unlike India, the players haven’t relied on scoring many hundreds to have a higher number of runs; instead, they have focussed on hitting fifties and contributing well enough as a team.


Highest Individual Scores in India vs Australia ODIs

Player Runs (Balls) Venue Date
Rohit Sharma (IND) 209 (158) Bengaluru 2 Nov 2013
Sachin Tendulkar (IND) 175 (141) Hyderabad 5 Nov 2009
George Bailey (AUS) 156 (114) Nagpur 30 Oct 2013
Steve Smith (AUS) 149 (135) Perth 12 Jan 2016
Shikhar Dhawan (IND) 143 (115) Mohali 10 Mar 2019
Ricky Ponting (AUS) 140* (121) Johannesburg 23 Mar 2003
MS Dhoni (IND) 139* (121) Mohali 19 Oct 2013
Yuvraj Singh (IND) 139 (122) Sydney 22 Jan 2004
Mark Waugh (AUS) 133* (138) Pune 28 Mar 2001
Shaun Marsh (AUS) 131 (123) Adelaide 15 Jan 2019

Rohit Sharma cutting the following list twice shows his caliber and habit of consistently scoring daddy hundreds.

Coincidently two of the scores below are from the same match, the one held in Perth during the 2016 series. Wherein two modern-day greats, Steve Smith and Rohit Sharma, joined hands together to give a thrilling game for fans to remember about.


Most Wickets for Australia vs India in ODIs

Player Innings Wickets Average
Brett Lee 30 55 21.00
Mitchell Johnson 26 43 26.06
Steve Waugh 37 43 29.47
Adam Zampa 23 35 33.51
Glenn McGrath 24 34 26.76
Mitchell Starc 19 30 32.66
Craig McDermott 22 30 27.46
Damien Fleming 20 28 29.57
Pat Cummins 21 28 35.60
Nathan Bracken 17 27 25.66

As stated at the very start of this article, we have some legendary Australian bowlers taking up the best of places in the following list with their scintillating bowling averages. They have picked a good amount of wickets in significantly fewer matches. But somehow, that thing isn’t replicated in the list to follow, though it is always awe-inspiring to possess an average below 30.

Most Wickets for India vs Australia in ODIs

Player Innings Wickets Average
Kapil Dev 39 45 27.68
Mohammed Shami 23 38 31.60
Ravindra Jadeja 41 37 53.64
Ajit Agarkar 21 36 28.41
Javagal Srinath 29 33 36.78
Harbhajan Singh 34 32 46.43
Kuldeep Yadav 22 31 38.32
Anil Kumble 29 31 40.29
Irfan Pathan 24 31 35.96
Jasprit Bumrah 21 30 34.13

The following stats might have indicated the main reason behind the sheer dominance of Australia in the overall matches they have played against India.

Sadly, none of the Indian bowlers could have a significant impact, not even similar to what the top 5 Australian bowlers had on India. Kapil Dev is the pick of the bowlers. He is also the leading wicket-taker for India in ODIs played in Australia.

Best Bowling Figures in India vs Australia ODIs

Player Best Bowling Venue Date
Murali Kartik (IND) 6/27 Mumbai 17 Oct 2007
Kenneth MacLeay (AUS) 6/39 Nottingham 13 Jun 1983
Ajit Agarkar (IND) 6/42 Melbourne 9 Jan 2004
Yuzvendra Chahal (IND) 6/42 Melbourne 18 Jan 2019
Mitchell Starc (AUS) 6/43 Melbourne 18 Jan 2015
Greg Chappell (AUS) 5/15 Sydney 8 Jan 1981
Ravi Shastri (IND) 5/15 Perth 8 Dec 1991
Mitchell Johnson (AUS) 5/26 Vadodara 11 Oct 2007
Brett Lee (AUS) 5/27 Adelaide 26 Jan 2000
Terry Alderman (AUS) 5/32 Christchurch 3 Mar 1990

A good coincidence is what we witness here. Here two of the best spells bowled by against each other have been all about but almost identical. Yuzi and Ajit, both Indian players, have had their personal best bowling figures, and that too against Australia; the fun thing to note is that – even the venue where they too had played was the same.
