10 highest individual scores when India faced Australia in ODIs

#2 Sachin Tendulkar, 175

India took on Australia in the 5th ODI at Hyderabad on the 5th of November, 2009. Australian captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and opted to have a bat. The men in yellow didn't disappoint their skipper as the openers Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh scored 145 for the first wicket.

The firm foundation had been laid, the platform was set for Ponting, Hussey and Cameron White to finish the innings on a high. They did exactly what the need of the hour was. Australia put another mountain-like score of 350.

The celebrated opening pair of Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar walked in to chase 351. Tendulkar smashed the Aussie attack at his will and scored a mammoth 175 which included 19 fours and 4 sixes. India needed 19 in 18 balls, that's when the Master decided to go past the man at short fine leg.

Tendulkar could not play the shot as well as he wanted and handed a catch to Nathan Hauritz. That ended an awesome knock of Tendulkar and the hopes of the Indian win.
