The India vs Australia rivalry has been one of the most competitive and storied battles in modern-day cricket. Over the years, the two cricketing powerhouses have faced off 152 times in One Day Internationals (ODIs), with Australia holding the upper hand.
Out of these encounters, Australia have won 84 matches, while India have emerged victorious in 58, with 10 games ending without a result. The numbers underline Australia’s dominance in the format, particularly in conditions that suit their pace-heavy attack.
When it comes to contests on Australian soil, India’s record remains modest. Out of 54 ODIs played in Australia, India have managed to win only 14, while losing 38, with two matches producing no result. The figures reflect India’s ongoing challenge of adapting to bouncy tracks and large outfields Down Under.
Despite the historical imbalance, the past decade has seen India narrow the gap significantly, with memorable wins in bilateral series and ICC tournaments. As both sides prepare for yet another high-stakes ODI clash, fans can expect another chapter in this ever-intense rivalry.
