In the match, Steve Smith went onto to score his ninth ODI century and his first since January 2017.
Earlier, Australia captain Aaron Finch opted to bat in the ODI series decider at the M Chinnaswamy stadium.
The visitors got off to poor start as Mohammed Shami removed David Warner in the fourth over.
Then a big mix-up between captain Aaron Finch and Steve Smith gave India their second breakthrough.
Both batsmen were at the striker's end and Shreyas Iyer threw the ball to Shami who whipped the bails to send Finch packing.
Marnus Labuschagne then joined Steve Smith in the middle and the duo put on a stand of over 100 runs.
India captain Virat Kohli pulled off a stunning diving catch to get rid of Labuschagne and break the stand.
Australia tried to experiment with their batting order by sending Mitchell Starc as a pinch hitter but the move backfired as Starc fell for a duck trying to clear the rope, only managing to find Yuzvendra Chahal in the deep.
