Top 5 spells by Indian bowlers in ODIs against Australia

#4. Ajit Agarkar- Six for 42, at Melbourne, 2004

After leading India to a memorable Test win by claiming six wickets in Adelaide, Ajit Agarkar once again routed Australia by claiming six wickets in the ODI at Melbourne in 2004.

On a batting friendly surface where more than 550 runs were scored in 100 overs, bowlers from both the teams struggled to find their mark. But Agarkar bowed exceptionally well and restricted the damage inflicted by Australia's batsmen.

In his first spell, he sent back the Aussie openers who looked set and were eyeing a big score. The Indian pacer got rid of Matthew Hayden and Damien Martyn on consecutive balls to push Australia to three down for 70.

In the slog overs, he got the prize wicket of Andrew Symonds and then accounted for Ian Harvey and Andy Bichel in his last over. With six wickets in the innings, Agarkar registered the best bowling figures by an Indian pacer in ODI cricket against Australia.
