Highlights, Ind vs Aus 3rd ODI: Hundred from Rohit Sharma and a half-century from Virat Kohli helped India register a seven-wicket win over Australia in the 3rd ODI and clinch the series 2-1.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli starred with the bat as India chased down the 287-run target against Australia in the third ODI at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to clinch the three-match series 2-1 on Sunday. Rohit Sharma scored his 29th ODI hundred while skipper Virat Kohli scored his 57th fifty of his ODI career. Rohit and Kohli added 137 runs for the second wicket, helping India take control of the game. Rohit got out for 119 runs while Kohli smashed 89 runs. Shreyas Iyer scored a quickfire 44 off 35 balls to help India chase down the total with 15 balls left and register a seven wicket win. For Australia, Pat Cummmins and Mitchell Starc had an off day as they leaked boundaries way too often. Both of the them went wicket-less. Ashton Agar, Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood bowled economically and picked up a wicket each but couldn't help their side get across the finish line. Earlier, Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bat. Steve Smith (131 runs off 132 balls) scored his 9th ODI hundred, while Marnus Labuschagne smashed his maiden ODI fifty, helping Australia score 286/9 in Bengaluru.

The winning runs come off the bat of Manish Pandey. Hazlewood bowled full and Manish Pandey smashed it past him straight down the ground to hand India a seven-wicket victory.
Manish Pandey gets off the mark wit a boundary. Josh Hazlewood tries to land a yorker but ends up bowling a half-volley and Pandey drives it towards long-off fence for a boundary.
Mitchell Starc bowls full and wide and Shreyas Iyer smashes it over the inner circle on the off side and the ball almost carried to the fence. Nonetheless he collects another boundary.

Mitchell Starc bowls a wide half-volley to Shreyas Iyer and he crashes ti to the right of point fielder and the fast outfield means the ball beats the fielder to the boundary.
Adam Zampa provides Australia with an important breakthrough as he removes Rohit Sharma for 119 runs. Rohit Sharma wanted to clear the mid-wicket fence but got beaten by the turn and ended up hitting the ball high in the air and Mitchell Starc grabbed a simple catch running in from long-on.
Pat Cummins is not having his best of days. He offered width to Virat Kohli and he smashed it through covers with horizontal bat for a cracking boundary.
Aaron Finch makes the same mistake what Adam Zampa made in his previous over and Rohit Sharma sent the ball deep over mid-wicket fence for his fifth maximum of the night.
Mitchell Starc bowls another wide delivery and Rohit Sharma uses the width on offer and steers the ball between point and third man to begin the over with a cracking boundary.
Adam Zampa gets the ball to crash on Virat Kohli's pads and he goes up straightaway with a huge leg before appeal but the umpires doesn't concur. Australia also refuse to review it.
