Cricket PlayersIndia vs Australia: Virat Kohli & Co look to break 23-year-old unwanted record in Mohali
The Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali - the venue for the fourth ODI between India and Australia - is also not much different as the hosts have won 5 of their last 6 matches.
The Indian team has always maintained a brilliant record when it comes to home games and as a result, not many visiting teams have tasted a great deal of success while visiting India.
The Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali - the venue for the fourth ODI between India and Australia - is also not much different as the hosts have won 5 of their last 6 matches.

However, against Australia, the record at this venue is not that impressive. Out of the four meeting between the two sides, the hosts have won just once and the victory came way back in 1996. Since then, they have faced each other three times (2006, 2009, 2013), and all three of the encounters were won by the visiting side.
The statistic is quite surprising to look at as the venue in Mohali has always been quite lucky for Team India and their win rate in Mohali is actually the fourth best in the country after Gwalior, Cuttack and Kanpur.
With MS Dhoni not taking part in the last two ODI matches in the series, a look of focus will be on the young wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant who will be looking to book his spot in the World Cup squad.

Providing opportunities to all Cup hopefuls would be on Virat Kohli’s mind and the team management is expected to ring in a few changes in the playing XI in the remaining two matches of the series.
“We will have a few changes in the next couple of games but the idea is to tell the boys to put in match-winning performances and the boys will be looking to be in top form before the flight to England,” Kohli said.
