About The Team:
India: Skipper Virat Kohli will aim to surpass predecessor Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record ODI winning streak as captain. Kohli equalled former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record run of nine consecutive ODI victories after the five-wicket win over Australia in the third ODI at Indore, thereby clinching 6th straight series win.
Practice like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.

Key Players
India: Openers Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane need to provide the Indian team with a flying start. Batsmen Kohli, Dhoni and Hardik Pandya playing in the middle order will be the key to adding vital runs to help India post a dominating total. In the bowling department, pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah along with spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will continue to put up a fine performance. Kohli will have an extra spinning option in the form of Axar Patel who has been called up for the remaining ODIs to replace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

Australia: Opener Aaron Finch, who scored a century in the previous match, will be the key for the visitors to give them a good start along with hard-hitting batsman David Warner and skipper Smith. In the middle-order, Glen Maxwell is the key player to watch out for. The bowling department will rely on pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins and Kane Richardson to rattle the India line-up.
