The second One Day International was an exciting game between India and Australia that ended up coming down to the wire.

Rohit and Kohli hit some stunning shots that kept the crowd on its toes!
Adam Zampa stood out amongst the bowlers by taking four wickets during this match, followed by Xavier Bartlett who grabbed three scalps.
India were forced into an anxious opening innings after losing the toss. Harshit Rana quickly dispatched Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls with cheap dismissals by Harshit Rana – setting an unnerving tone – but were made pay when Zakary Foulkes removed Ravindra Jadeja during the second powerplay by Zakary Foulkes.
India’s batsmen remained composed despite facing immense pressure, with Virat Kohli and Rohit creating a brilliant partnership to take the score to 236/7 before an innings-ending collapse led them short of reaching their target score of 239.

3rd ODI
India and Australia share one of the fiercest rivalries in international cricket, meeting 151 times in One Day Internationals over time and producing some memorable encounters.
Additionally, both have competed in major tournaments such as World Cups and Champions Trophy where there have been nail-biting contests between them. At present, Australia leads this head to head series with 10 victories while India currently hold seven.
India are hoping to rebound after losing two consecutive matches when they face Australia at Indore’s Holkar Stadium, when Shami and Bumrah provide assistance against Australia’s pace bowlers’ spin threat.
The batsmen will need to work hard against Australia’s pace bowlers while keeping score during innings play; Shami can provide some support in this regard.
India will face a stiff test from their batting depth this match against Sri Lanka. While Rohit, Dhoni, and Yuvraj remain in fine form, their middle order has struggled for consistency with Manish Pandey, Ambati Rayudu, and Shreyas Iyer not living up to their reputations in the side.
Jadhav should help provide stability to the middle order with his experience playing for India in T20 cricket and versatility as an all-round bowler – capable of both spinning and fast bowling will prove essential in winning this match and acting as fifth bowler when needed.
His performance will likely earn him a permanent place on India’s T20 squad and could become an invaluable asset if consistent performances remain.
