Now as the action moves to ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, the Islanders have problems galore to look after, as India boasts of an impeccable record at this venue. But the danger lies from the Indian batsmen, who have imposing numbers at this stadium. Rohit, the skipper for this series, has played three innings here, and has scored 172 runs. He boasts of a strike-rate of 94.50 and and an average of 86. The right-hand opening batsman has two fifties to his name, with 90 n.o. as his highest score.
That's not it. This ground is a fortress to former India skipper MS Dhoni as well, and he too relishes playing at this venue. In the four innings he has played here so far, Dhoni has amassed 240 runs at an average of 80. Back in 2005, Dhoni had scored a fiery 148 runs against Pakistan, which was also his first ODI ton.
This has been one of the grounds, where India enjoys a very high winning percentage too. With 5 wins from 6 games at this venue, India has won 83.33% of their games in Visakhapatnam.
