Finch, a member of Australia's 2015 World Cup-winning team, can scarcely remember a tougher run playing for his country in the short format. "You have to play 100 percent to beat (India) in these conditions," Finch said. Australia were whitewashed 5-0 away to South Africa last year and Finch said the mounting losses were not helping with confidence. "Whenever you're losing, it's never easy," said the 30-year-old, who struck his eighth ODI ton in Indore. Finch was understandably glad to score some runs, especially after going to lengths to convince the team's physiotherapist of his fitness to play.
