India vs Australia 3rd ODI Highlights: India Lose To Australia Despite Virat Kohli's Heroics in Ranchi
India vs Australia 3rd ODI Highlights: Usman Khawaja (104), Aaron Finch (93) helped Australia post 313/5 in 50 overs.
A valiant century by captain Virat Kohli went in vain as India lost by 32 runs against Australia at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association Stadium in Ranchi. Chasing a stiff target of 314 runs, India lost the opening batsmen Shikhar Dhawan (1) and Rohit Sharma (14) cheaply with the score reading 15/2. Ambati Rayudu once again failed to score big as he was clean bowled by Pat Cummins for 2. India were tottering at 27/3 when Kohli was joined by MS Dhoni at the crease. They added 59 runs for the fourth wicket before Adam Zampa dismissed Dhoni for 26. Kedar Jadhav (26) then stitched together an 88-run partnership with Kohli to keep India alive in the run-chase. However, following the dismissal of Kohli on 123 off 95 (16 fours, 1 six), Indian batsmen failed to catch-up with the required run-rate. Vijay Shankar (32) and Ravindra Jadeja (24) managed to take India's total beyond 250. But the tailenders folded up quickly. With this win, Australia stay alive in the five-match ODI series that India still lead 2-1. Earlier, Usman Khawaja hit his maiden century in ODIs scoring 104 runs off 113 balls while Aaron Finch made 93 runs as Australia posted 313/5 runs in 50 overs. (SCORECARD)

12:56 IST: If India wins today, this will be their 50th against Australia in ODIs. It will also be Virat Kohli's 50th ODI win as India's captain.
12:55 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the third ODI between India and Australia.
India's bowling has been flawless as Australia failed to reach 250 in both games but as far as batting is concerned, the hosts need to fix the chinks in their armour.
Other than Kohli, who scored his 40th ODI hundred, no other batsman has been impressive.
Vice-captain Rohit Sharma, the second most consistent player in this line-up, looked good in the first game before he got out.
Kedar Jadhav and Dhoni shepherded India in the first match and didn't trouble the scorers in the next.
