In a dominant display of cricket, India clinched the ODI series against Australia with a comprehensive win in the third and final match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The Indian team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, showcased their all-round prowess, outclassing Australia in both batting and bowling departments.
Opting to bat first, India set a formidable target of 315/7, thanks to a brilliant century from Shubman Gill, who scored 120 off 112 balls. Gill’s innings was a blend of elegance and aggression, featuring 12 fours and 3 sixes. He was well-supported by Virat Kohli, who contributed a vital 85 runs, and KL Rahul, whose quickfire 45 helped India accelerate in the final overs.
Australia’s chase got off to a shaky start, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami striking early to leave the visitors reeling at 50/3. Despite a resilient half-century from Steve Smith, Australia’s middle order crumbled under pressure, with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja spinning a web around the batsmen. Kuldeep’s spell of 4/35 was instrumental in restricting Australia to 240 all out, handing India a convincing 75-run victory.
This series win not only cements India’s position as one of the top ODI teams in the world but also boosts their confidence ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup. The team’s balanced lineup, featuring a strong top order and a versatile bowling attack, makes them a formidable opponent in any condition.
