Vice-captain Rohit Sharma even smashed a century during India’s seven-wicket win in 2017 at the venue.

However, the Aussies are still confident, pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile even said, “Obviously, they are 1-0 up in this series so they’ve got the upper hand. But I think it was a closely-fought game. We played well, they played better in the end but the two teams were close and the next four games will be even tighter I think,”
