India vs Australia, Highlights, 4th ODI: Australia End India's 9-Match Winning Streak, Win By 21 Runs
Chasing 335 for victory, India managed to score 313/8 in 50 overs.
Australia snapped India's nine-match ODI winning streak on Thursday as they had a last laugh in the fourth ODI in Bengaluru beating India by a margin of 21 runs. David Warner (124) and Aaron Finch's (94) 231- run stand and Peter Handscomb's late flourish helped them score a mammoth 334 in 50 overs. Chasing a big total, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma gave India a solid start but quick wickets of the openers and then Virat Kohli jolted the hosts' progress. Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya led the recovery and were going great guns before the latter fell for 41 at the crucial juncture. Jadhav's wicket in the 46th over stuttered the hosts and MS Dhoni's departure in the last ball of the 48th over was the final nail in the coffin. Australia opened their account in the series but still Virat Kohli and men lead the five-match series 3-1 with the final match being scheduled to be played on October 1. (Scorecard)

11:15 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the fourth ODI between India vs Australia straight from Bengaluru.
With the likes of Kohli and former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni displaying consistent performances, Hardik Pandya's growth as an all-rounder has added a new dimension to the team. If needed, India can also count on the likes of Kedar Jadhav and Manish Pandey to deliver the goods with the willow. While batting has always been their strength, India continue to impress with the ball as well.
