In-form Virat Kohli will be the center of attraction when India start their three-match ODI series against Australia.

The former India captain is just 191 runs shy of completing 13000 runs in ODIs and become the fifth cricketer on planet after Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya. Kohli is also just 48 runs away from surpassing Ponting for most ODI runs at home.
