Yuzvendra Chahal claimed a six-wicket haul during the third ODI between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. 

With his career-best figures of 6 for 42 in his quota of 10 overs, Chahal became the very first spinner to claim six wickets in an ODI on the Australian soil. 

Chahal now also has the joint-sixth best bowling performance by an Indian in ODI cricket. 

The spinner, who was not played in the first two ODI of the three-match series, has joined the exclusive club of Sri Lankan great Ajantha Mendis. Only these two players have a six-wicket haul in both T20Is and ODIs. 

Chahal led India's bowling attack as Australia were bundled out for a mere 230 runs in the third ODI on Friday. With series squared off at 1-1, today's winner will take the trophy.
