Man of the series: Virat Kohli

"We were one experienced player short. Rohit and I spoke about sticking in there. Australia wanted the wickets and if we stayed, we could have chased 7-8 an over also. We've been doing that in the past. A comprehensive win which was very important."

"Clarity of mind is key to playing the shots. I felt like that today and just went for the shots."

"This Australia is better than the one in 2019. There's David, Steve, Marnus as well. 2020 has been wonderful, we've started very well. Getting a series win this time as compared to last time is good for us as a team s well."

Rohit Sharma has been adjudged the Man of the Match for his match-winning 119

Rohit Sharma: Was an important game, we wanted to just come out and enjoy ourselves. To keep that Australian batting lineup to less than 290 was a great effort from the bowlers. Once KL got out, we knew we needed a big partnership, and no one better than the captain himself. Once we got that 100-partnership, we wanted to keep going. At no stage we wanted to lose the momentum. I was middling the ball well, and I told him I should be the one to take the chances. If it comes off, it comes off. If we had lost a wicket in the middle, it could've been very different. Australia always comes up with good bowling attacks, and their top three bowlers will always challenge you with something or the other. We wanted to be smart. Today I just wanted to be there for as long as possible, and I was really happy I could be there till about the 37th over.

Tunnaround.... complete!

What a turnaround from India in this series. Lost by 10 wickets in Mumbai and then came out to score 340 in Rajkot, won by 36, and today curtailed Australia under 300 and then won by 7 wickets.

INDIA WIN BY 7 WICKETS!

Manish Pandey with another boundary straight down the ground and that's the win! India win by 7 wickets and seal the series 2-1. Shreyas Iyer remains unbeaten on 44 and 8 for Pandey. 

OUT!

Virat Kohli falls for 89 and Hazlewood's yorker is on the money. Bit of a rash shot from Virat and the ball finds the gap between bat and pad. A slight smile as he walks back, knows the job is done.

IND 274/3

Kohli b Hazlewood 89 (81)

OUT!

Adam Zampa is rewarded for his continued bait and switch approach. Looped up once again, Rohit Sharma is quick on the shot and ends up with a leading edge. Mitchell Starc with a comfortable take. 119 runs from Rohit and he walks back to well earned applause from Bengaluru.

IND 206/2
Rohit c Starc b Zampa 119 (128)

Fifty for Kohli

57th ODI fifty for Virat Kohli and he gets there with a boundary. Brings up the 50 from 61 balls. Pulled by Kohli and that is dispatched for a four. 100th 50-plus score for Kohli in 236 innings

Rohit Sharma with his 29th ODI hunred and eighth against Australia. Rohit and Kohli now have eight tons against Australia. 100 runs from 110 balls with eight fours and five sixes. Steers the ball to third man and collects a single. 

With that boundary, Virat Kohli brings up 5000 runs in ODIs as captain. He is the fastest to the milestone as ODI captain and eighth captain to the mark.  

OUT! 

Tossed up by Ashton Agar, KL Rahul goes for the sweep and misses. Umpire says not out but Australia review. No bat on offer it is confirmed. Ball tracking says impact, pitching in line and going on to hit the middle stump. Crowd goes silent and Australia celebrate. 

IND 69/1
KL Rahul lbw Agar 19 (27)

India begin chase

No Shikhar Dhawan to get things going then. No official word but it seems unlikely he will take part today. That's immediately a blow to India. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul get the 287 run chase underway. Pat Cummins has the ball

BOWLED EM! Shami has a knack for dismantling the furniture, this time that of Zampa with another yorker, collecting his fourth wicket. AUS 282/9

Zampa b Shami 1(6)

OUT! Two wickets in four deliveries for Mohammed Shami, as he uproots Cummins' off stump with a searing yorker to send the Aussie No 9 back to the dressing room for a golden duck! AUS 276/8

Cummins b Shami 0(1)

OUT! Smith goes for the helicopter shot again, but this time Kohli's prepared with Shreyas Iyer placed at deep midwicket. Iyer plucks the catch safely, although he grimaces with pain after the tumble, as India finally see the back of Smith after a fantastic innings. AUS 273/7

Smith c Iyer b Shami 131(132)

OUT! India decide to go for the review after a faint appeal for caught-behind against Ashton Turner, and it turns out to be the faintest of under-edges that results in Turner walking back to the dressing room for 4. Was a tricky call, but Kohli decided to trust his instinct anyway, and the hosts got rewarded for it in the end. AUS 238/6

Turner c Rahul b Saini 4(10)

CENTURY FOR STEVE SMITH — his first in ODI cricket since 19 January 2017 and his ninth overall, consuming 117 deliveries along the way and collecting 11 fours. All the more special for him, having missed out on the milestone by just two runs in the previous game. AUS 236/5

OUT! Kuldeep strikes once again, this time getting rid of Carey as he miscues an inside-out slog towards deep extra cover to offer Shreyas Iyer a simple catch near the boundary rope. AUS 231/5

Carey c Iyer b Kuldeep 35(36)

FOUR! Saini's not having an ideal day in office, and a fielding error at third man results in Carey collecting his fifth boundary and bringing up the fifty stand with Smith for the fifth wicket. AUS 223/4

FOUR! Smith moves into the 90s with a nudge towards the vacant fine leg fence, but more importantly, he completes 4,000 ODI runs in the process! Becomes the joint-fourth-fastest Australian to the milestone, with David Warner on top of this list. AUS 215/4

OUT! Make that two wickets in the over for Jadeja now and boy could that have a massive impact on the game! The experiment to send Mitch Starc at No 5 doesn't quite benefit the visitors as he holes out to Chahal at deep midwicket to depart for a three-ball duck. AUS 173/4

Starc c sub(Chahal) b Jadeja 0(3)

OUT! Kohli's brilliance ends Labuschagne's stay at the crease, with Ravindra Jadeja finally getting a wicket against his name today. Labuschagne drives towards extra cover, where Kohli puts in a dive to his right. Time for the players to have a drink now. AUS 173/3

Labuschagne c Kohli b Jadeja 54(64)

FOUR! Crisply-timed drive through midwicket by Labuschagne to bring up his maiden ODI half-century! AUS 172/2

Hundred-partnership up between Smith and Labuschagne for the third wicket, coming off four leg byes after the ball deflects off Smith's thigh before running away to third man. AUS 149/2

FOUR! Smith guides the ball to third man, where the ball beats the fielder running to his left, and he that's another half-century up for Steve Smith — his 25th in one-day internationals — consuming 63 deliveries along the way! The Aussie No 3 continues his good form in the series with a second consecutive fifty after the 98 at Rajkot. AUS 121/2

FOUR! Labuschagne brings up the fifty-run partnership with Smith for the third wicket with an expansive sweep behind square. AUS 96/2

OUT! Complete breakdown in communication between Finch and Smith, and it's the former who has to depart after getting stranded at the striker's end, with his partner. He's fuming at his partner on his way back to the pavilion. AUS 46/2

Finch run out (Jadeja/sub(Chahal)/Shami) 19(26)

OUT! A second consecutive low score for David Warner as he nicks as an innocuous-looking delivery from Shami to Rahul behind the stumps. Early strike for the Indians. The late swing did the trick for the pacer. AUS 18/1

Warner c Rahul b Shami 3(7)

Teams:

India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(wk), Manish Pandey, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah
