Chennai: Rohit Sharma-led Team India is facing Steve Smith Australia in the third and final ODI of the series. The series is leveled 1-1 as both sides are colliding in a series decider at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. The Men in Blue side bowling first managed to bundle the visitors down for 269 runs. Indian vice-captain Hardik Pandya and marquee spinner in white-ball cricket Kuldeep Yadav grabbed three wickets each and played important role in restricting the Aussies’ innings to 269 runs. They were in top-notch form and had Aussie batters on their toes throughout.

Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel grabbed 2 wickets each too and provided support to Indian bowling from the other end. Alex Carey, Marcus Stoinis, and Sean Abbott did play good cameo knocks in the end and provided a final push.
