Bengaluru, Sep 27 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong> Skipper Virat Kohli will aim to surpass predecessor Mahendra Singh Dhoni's record winning run as captain when India take on Australia in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kohli equalled former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's record run of nine consecutive ODI victories after the series-clinching five-wicket win over Australia in the third ODI at Indore on Sunday. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The previous winning run under Dhoni stretched from February 2008 to January 2009. India's current victory run started on July 6 this year with an eight-wicket win over West Indies in the fifth and last match of that series at Sabina Park. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Virat Kohli-led side has dominated the ongoing series with comprehensive victories in the initial three ODIs handing India an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hosts will heavily rely on openers Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane to get them off to a flying start. Batsmen Kohli, Dhoni and Hardik Pandya who have looked destructive in the series will later be the key to adding vital runs to help India post a dominating total. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the bowling department, pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah along with wrist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal who have put up a fine performance throughout the tournament will look to providing brakes on the opposition at regular intervals. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

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-rouder Ravindra Jadeja. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia, led by Steven Smith, will look to re-working on the strategies to get the best out of his side in the remainder of the series. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

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. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia will also hope that middle-order batsman Glen Maxwell returns to form in order to provide balance to their batting. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The bowling department will rely on pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins and Kane Richardson to rattle the India line-up. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Spinner Ashton Agar being ruled out for the rest of the series due to a fractured finger will be a big loss for the visitors. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Squads:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

India: Virat Kohli (captain), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wicket-keeper), Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n
