IND vs AUS: The final encounter of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia is currently occurring at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai (March 22). It is a series-deciding affair as both teams have achieved one victory each so far in the series. The much-anticipated encounter has been action-packed so far with hosts India having a marginal upper hand in the game.
“It is an important game and the deciders are always interesting. It is always good to put us in this situation. It is a challenge for us to come back and play some good cricket under pressure. Hopefully, we can put our best foot forward. Australia are a good team and you can always test your depth,” said India captain Rohit Sharma at the toss
Winning the toss, batting first — Australia are currently batting on the score of 213 for the loss of 7 dismissals with 9 more overs to go. The Steve Smith-led batting lineup has clearly underperformed under ideal Chennai batting conditions and is on the verge of bundling out. Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav have starred for India in the innings with three wickets each. Australian batters, on the other hand, failed to build long innings despite getting regular starts.

Virat Kohli has had a wavering outing in the proceeding three-match ODI series against Australia. Kohli was dismissed on the score of 4 and 21 in the first two matches of the ODI series respectively. The veteran India batter has been in fine form in the last few months and would now eye putting up a notable contribution during the second innings in the proceeding fixture at Chennai.
