Senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar is set to be rested from India's next ODI tri-series match against Australia in Adelaide on Sunday but if past record is to go by, the move could end up hurting the beleagured team.

In the last 22 years, India has won only five matches against the hosts in Australia and Tendulkar has always featured prominently in all those victories. In 1991-92, during his visit to these shores, India beat Australia by a staggering margin of 107 at WACA, Perth.
