The Australia national cricket team toured India between 10 October to 2 November 2013, playing a Twenty20 International match and seven-match One Day International series against India.[1] Due to an ongoing back injury, Australian captain Michael Clarke was replaced by Callum Ferguson and George Bailey captained the side.[2] During the second ODI match, all of the first five Australian batsmen made a score of fifty or more, a feat which no side had previously done.[3] In the second match, India chased down the target of 360 runs to win, making this the second highest run-chase to win an ODI game.[4] Two weeks later in the sixth match, India again chased down the Australian total of 350 runs to record the third highest run-chase to win a game. Coincidentally, all three highest run chases had come against Australia.[5] In the seventh and final match, Indian batsman Rohit Sharma became the third man to make a double-century in ODI cricket, when he scored 209 from 158 balls.[6] His innings included 16 sixes, the most in an ODI innings beating the previous record of 15 held by Australian cricketer Shane Watson.[6] The record was later broken by England's Eoin Morgan who hit 17 sixes against Afghanistan in 2019.[7]
