CRICKET
India vs Australia 3rd ODI Highlights: Australia ended their tour of India on a triumphant note, securing a 2-1 victory in the three-match series by defeating Rohit Sharma and his team by 21 runs in the final ODI.
Adam Zampa's impressive four-wicket performance led Australia to a 21-run victory over India in the third and final ODI, securing a 2-1 series win.
India's chase of 270 was derailed by a middle-order collapse, resulting in their dismissal for 248.
Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya claimed three wickets each as Australia were bowled out for 269 in Chennai. Axar Patel also contributed with the wicket of Marcus Stoinis, but it was Hardik who shone brightest, taking three wickets in quick succession to halt Australia's momentum.
India, in response, started off strong with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill adding 65 runs for the opening wicket. Virat Kohli also contributed with a half-century, while Hardik Pandya fought hard for his run-a-ball 40.
Despite their efforts, Australia managed to stay in the game by taking wickets at regular intervals. Adam Zampa proved to be a formidable opponent, scalping four wickets in his quota, while Ashton Agar also made a significant impact with two wickets in his final over.
We have reached the conclusion of our coverage of the third and final one-day match between India and Australia in Chennai. This marks the end of India's home season, and it is now time for us to shift our focus to the highly anticipated Indian Premier League, which commences in less than 10 days!
So, as we say goodbye to India's home season, let us look forward to the start of the IPL and the incredible cricketing moments that await us.

Rohit Sharma: Partnerships are crucial, and it is something that we failed to do today. It is important to apply yourself and try and give yourself a chance. It was important for one batter to take the game deep. These things happen, we tried our best, but it just didn’t happen. Loss like this really hurts, but we understand what we need to do as a crew. It’s a collective failure from everyone which we need to look at.
India's chase came to an unfortunate end due to a communication breakdown between Kuldeep and his partner. In the final over, Kuldeep made a dash for the opposite end, only to realize that his partner had not moved an inch

Australia has delivered impressive performances throughout the ODI series, despite their initial defeat in the first match where they faced a five-wicket loss. In that match, a solid partnership between KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja had steered India to victory. However, in Visakhapatnam, the duo failed to repeat their heroics. Now, the question is whether the Steve Smith-led side will carry forward their momentum into the decider.
In the second ODI of the series against Australia, India suffered a crushing defeat, with a margin of balls remaining. The team conceded a target of 118 runs in just 11 overs, which is their biggest defeat to date. The Australian team was led by the impressive performance of Mitchell Starc, who ran through the hapless Indian batting order. Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head scored unbeaten half-centuries to wrap up the game.
Welcome to our live coverage of the India vs Australia 3rd ODI from Chennai! Following a stunning victory in the second ODI, the Australian team is determined to maintain their momentum. Meanwhile, India is eager to make a strong comeback and secure their third consecutive ODI series win at home this year.
