Virat Kohli may have had a dull series against Sri Lanka as per his lofty batting standards but the first of the three-match ODI series against Australia today could just set the tone for the Indian skipper as it's at one of his happy hunting grounds—the Wankhede Stadium.

Kohli has had some big scores in his last international outings at this venue across three formats. In the last Test he played here (v England in 2016), Kohli scored a magnificent 235. His last ODI here (v New Zealand in 2017) saw him hammer 121 albeit in a losing cause. In the recent T20I match at the Wankhede in December last year, Kohli scored an unbeaten 70 off just 29 balls in the series decider against the West Indies.
