"If you look at his (Virat Kohli) record, it's second to none. It really is remarkable. I think what we have to keep in mind is we have to keep looking to get him out. I think when you go away from that and look to contain players you can sort of miss a trick there. There are not too many chinks in his armour. He's probably the best one-day player of all time. So it's about sticking to our plans and being really committed in that regard."

"I think it won't be too much of a problem to be honest. I think everyone's on the same page in terms of how we want to play one-day cricket. We've built up some really good momentum over the last I suppose series against England. So everybody is just looking forward to getting out and playing for Australia again."

"Quarantine has been okay. We've had some really good training sessions for the two weeks. We've been very fortunate New South Wales health and government have allowed us to keep training in our group of, I think it is 12 players here and a handful of stars. That's been quality the facilities we've had at Blacktown have been excellent."

STORY: Australia's limited-overs captain Aaron Finch said his side would seek to dominate rather than contain Indian captain Virat Kohli as the ODI series between the two sides kicks off at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday (November 26).

Kohli, regarded as one of the best batsman in the world, is one of the keys to India succeeding in the early stages of the tour, although he will miss the final three test matches on paternity leave.

Since returning to Australia from the IPL, Finch has spent much of the two-week quarantine period fine-tuning his game under the watchful eye of assistant coach Andrew McDonald.

The teams will play three one-dayers and three Twenty20s before the start of a four-test series at Adelaide on Dec. 17.
