A superb captain's innings from MS Dhoni has put India in command of the 2nd ODI against Australia at Nagpur . Australia won the toss and elected to field, and India responded in a superb fashion and have giving themselves every chance of squaring the series.

The home side posted a superb total of 354-7 from their 50 overs, it is India's highest score in One Day cricket. Dhoni started off in a circumspect fashion, but as his confidence grew he started to score more freely, Dhoni went on to reach the fifth century of his career.

Dhoni went on to score, 124 from 107, which is the highest score by an Indian Captain against Australia in an ODI.

India lost the opening ODI to Australia on Sunday by just four runs, the tourists had posted 292 from their 50 overs, and India managed 288 in reply.

The two sides will compete in five more ODIS after this game.

It is hard to see Australia upsetting the Betting Odds and winning this game.
