India vs Australia 3rd ODI Highlights: A nine wicket win with nearly 12 overs to spare against an under-par total, but the story of this match will always be Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma joining forces to remind the Australian crowd exactly what they will miss in years to come. Rolling back the years, putting together the classiest of 168*-run partnerships. Virat Kohli bounces back with 74* after two ducks, but it was Rohit Sharma's 121* that will maek headlines, his 33rd ODI century....Read More
Rohit Sharma's love affair with the SCG continues as he scored his 60th ODI fifty – his third at this venue and second on the bounce. The moment we had all been waiting for is here. Virat Kohli joined Rohit after the dismissal of Shubman Gill. He saw off a few nervy moments before helping himself to three quick boundaries. The partnership between the two batting stalwarts is growing, with Australia desperate to send back at least one of these two legends.
Australia are bowled out on 326, with Matt Renshaw scoring 56 and Mitchell Marsh with 41, but nobody else really able to contribute. The hosts threatened to get to nearly 300 at one stage, but a collapse right before the 40th over mark ensured that India clawed things back. All bowlers used register in the wickets colum, but Harshit Rana earns some confidence with a 4-fer. India narrowly have their noses ahead heading into the second innings.
Kuldeep Yadav finally gets his chance to show his skills in the ODI series vs Australia, coming in to the Indian team after Nitish Kumar Reddy misses out due to an injury. Prasidh Krishna also comes in, with Nathan Ellis coming in for the hosts. Australia win the toss and opt to bat first.
Shubman Gill and his men arrive at the iconic SCG looking to avoid a 3-0 sweep after a narrow defeat in Adelaide left the series beyond their reach. The home team, buoyed by two clinical wins, will look to hold on to its form and carry the momentum they have gained, completing a whitewash.
The battle in SCG will not be about numbers or trophies for India; it is about prestige and pride. While Gill would not want his first venture as an ODI captain to end in a humiliating whitewash, players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be eager not to return empty-handed from their last visit down under.
IND vs AUS: Head-to-Head in ODIs
When it comes to ODI cricket, Australia have dominated the competition against India. The two teams have played 152 matches in the format, with Australia winning 84 of those games, and India emerging victorious on 58 occasions. 10 of these matches have ended in a no-result.
When it comes to ODIs at the SCG, India have won only 5 of the 21 games they have played here. Their record against Australia at the venue is even poorer, with only 2 wins and 16 defeats.

IND vs AUS: SCG pitch report
The pitch at the Sydney cricket ground has traditionally been batting-friendly. The pacers might get a bit of seam movement with the new ball in the first few overs. As the game progresses, the wicket will slow down a tad, and the spinners could be effective in the middle overs.
Recent data shows that 270-280 total is possible at this venue. Interestingly, the venue has favoured the team that has batted first in ODIs. So, the captain winning the toss might look to set a target in this game.
IND vs AUS: Form check ahead of 3rd ODI
Australia
Mitchell Marsh
The Australian skipper played a handy knock in Perth in the first ODI. Although Mitchell Marsh did not score big in the second game, there is a chance that he finds the best version of himself on a track that is expected to suit the batters.
Matt Short
India lost a close game in Adelaide, and one of the main reasons behind it was the knock played in the middle order by Matt Short. He scored 74 runs off 78 deliveries and ensured that the match remained out of India’s reach.
Adam Zampa
The Aussie leg spinner did not play in the first match, but worked wonders on his return. In Adelaide, Adam Zampa picked up four wickets and established control for his team in the middle-overs. With his experience and ongoing form, Zampa will be a player to watch out for in the game.
India
Rohit Sharma
After an average outing in Perth, a different version of Rohit Sharma came out to bat in Adelaide. During the second ODI, Sharma was ready to spend time and find his way through the difficult times. He is coming into this match after 73 off 97 balls in the previous game and will be hoping to translate the form into another innings of substance.
Shreyas Iyer
The newly appointed vice-captain of India bats at the crucial number four and showed great character in the last match. Shreyas Iyer is also coming into this match with a half-century under his belt and will be keen to continue his form.
Arshdeep Singh
The left-arm pacer has so far looked the best part of the Indian bowling in this series. Arshdeep Singh has picked up early wickets in both of the games and has troubled the batters with his line and length. With the wicket-taking momentum that he has, Arshdeep will be a key player for the visitors in Sydney.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Shubman Gill reflects on the win
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates:
“We almost had a near-perfect game. They had a good start but the way we pulled it back then our chase was amazing to see. How our spinners contained and then the fast bowlers took the crucial wickets. Harshit came in and bowled fast and took wickets in the middle, need something like that.”
“Been a delight to watch both of them doing this for so long, and winning the match for us. Good win for us here at a special ground.”
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma wins player of the match and player of the series!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma signs off from Australia with player of the match AND player of the series to boot, the only centurion of this three-match set.
“It's what you expect in Australia. It will never be easy. You have to understand the condition and situation. Haven't played for a long time but had good prep. I was confident in my head about how I wanted to go. Couldn't win the series but will take a lot of positives from it. Lot of you guys taking learnings from this.”
“When I came in the squad for the first time, I remember how the seniors helped us. Our job to pass on the right message. Never easy travelling abroad and playing cricket. Important to pass on our experience. Guys are talented, it's about understanding our gameplan before we start.”
“Come here so many times, but go back to the basics, and it's something I pass on to these guys.”
“Sydney, I've had decent memories. Great ground, great crowd, great pitch. Expected the challenge. Love doing what I do, and hope I continue to do that.”
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Their last series down under as they bid farewell
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: It had been taken as granted that Rohit and Virat won't be back on Aussie shores, but they seem to confirm it now. Rohit mentions it straightforwardly, then an emotional bid farewell by the pair to this SCG crowd.
A farewell to be proud of, if it does prove to be the case.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Virat Kohli comments on his time next
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Ducks are out of the pond, Shastri jokes. Kohli responds:
“Even after all these years, the game shows you everything even at this stage. 37 in not many days and can still feel like you don't know how to get a run. Which is why we love batting. Having a situation to play in brings the best out of me. Pretty easy to bat with Rohit, we understand each other's game very well.”
“We've always taken a lot of pride in understanding the game. If we have a big partnership, we have the strokes to take away the game from the opposition. Started in that 2013 series against Australia at home. Opposition also knew if we are in for 20 overs together, no game is too far away for us to win.”
“We want to say thank you, we love coming to this country, and played some of our best cricket here as well.”
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit and Kohli speak! Rohit's words
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli speak on field. Rohit first up.
“I've always loved coming here. Fond memories of 2008 and nice way to finish, getting that knock and that win. Don't know if we will be coming back, but been fun playing here. Good memories, bad memories, I'll take the cricket I played here.”
“We enjoy are cricket no matter the accolades we achieve. Forget what happened in the last 15-17 years, wanted to start fresh. Enjoyed playing these three games.”
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: THAT'S IT! Kohli seals it with a boundary
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: A ramp shot to finish it off! What a partnership, 168 unbeaten, and a nine-wicket victory with more than 11 overs to spare. Rohit Sharma with his 50th international century, Virat overtaking Kumar Sangakkara – a day to remember in a match that will be written into history as India prevent the whitewash. What a performance!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Vintage Kohli, flicks it away for 4 and it's the 150 partnership
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: This is the kind of shot that has set him apart in ODI chases for years. The ability to find the gap and make the ball pierce it with such unassuming power. That might just be shot of the day – but there is a lot of competition from Rohit's innings.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: 31 runs needed now
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Only a matter of time. Some part of India might be wishing Australia got 10-15 more so Kohli could also gun for a century, but that's secondary. He will just want to stay in and see India through to the win now.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: There's the century! One to savour for Rohit Sharma
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: No longer with the burden of captaincy, but it doesn't matter: when you are gifted the way Rohit Sharma is gifted, you will keep scoring runs regardless of the situation you are in. An innings you think he will never forget. A beautiful century, and his 33rd in ODI cricket.
India 37 runs away.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli overtakes Kumar Sangakkara!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Ladies and gentlemen, your hands together for the man who is now the sole owner of the claim as the player with the second most runs in ODI cricket. Only the great Sachin Tendulkar stands ahead of him, as he overtakes Kumar Sangakkara. This is what was on the line in this series, and he has gone on to achieve it.
Rohit on 96*…
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli bounces back! Fifty for the king
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli keeps proving that greatness is about how you bounce back from adversity. He has looked in complete control for the majority of his innings today, and it's a lovely half-century in what might be his last performance on Aussie soil. Just right.
Century partnership between these two old comrades as well.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: India exploding with runs now! Boundaries flowing easily
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Yep, Rohit has had enough of sticking around. Has his eye in now and is willing to go after the bowling. A big heave for four off Ellis, and now Zampa gets slog swept for six. That target is vanishing.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli survives close DRS call!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Reprieve for Kohli! He was already walking back as that went to hawkeye, but the umpire saying not out has saved him. One that scooted through low, hit him on the knee roll, and he only survives on umpire's call. The kind of luck he needs, but Sydney crowd not happy.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Half century for Rohit Sharma!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Adelaide wasn't a classic, but he has looked at complete ease today. Some of his attacking cricket has been vintage Rohit. Treating the bowlers with disdain. Back to back 50s. And also the half-century stand with Virat Kohli.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli taking his time, looking comfortable
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli's nerves look settled. Happy to be taking his time without needing to take risks. Onto 22* and once he is this set in an ODI, it is so tough to dislodge him.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Vintage Kohli! Straight drive for four
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Oh, lovely. Eases into it and just punches it off the front foot right past Starc. Splits mid on and mid off and picks up 4. That will make him feel much better.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Gorgeous from Rohit! Pure timing for six
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Wow! Clip that and show every young person who wants to become a cricketer. Stretches down to reach the pitch of the ball, then it's just a free, unipeded swing of the bat over extra cover, which flies all the way for six. What a shot.
Kohli off to a quick but slightly streaky start. A couple of edges running away for four.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kohli off the mark and celebrates with fist-pump
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Sees the funny side of that one! Knocks Hazlewood into the leg side and sets off for a quick single. Down the other end, turns to Rohit and pumps his fist with a wry smile. Crowd enjoying that one.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: WICKET! Hazlewood gets Gill
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: What a ball! Hazlewood has been nearly unplayable at times in this series, and this is one of those examples. Pitches, jags away, and gets a touch of extra bounce for the outside edge. India have their start, but Gill continues to struggle against Australia in this format.
Virat Kohli comes in…
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: FIRST SIX OF THE INNINGS! Gill gets going, 68/0 after 10
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Shot! One over of spin to close out the powerplay, and Gill gets down on one knee and sweetly times it over square leg. That shot of his has come along so nicely, always gets a great connection on it.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: 50 up as Rohit tonks Hazlewood over midwicket!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Signal of intent! His eye is in and now he wants to attack to finish up the powerplay. Gets one slightly fuller and just lofts it over midwicket. Fifty partnership.
Two balls later, Gill joins the party with a square cut through the covers. Going very well with an over of the field restrictions to spare.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: 37/0 after 7
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: India going at a very strong rate to get things started in this chase. Settling some nerves as well – the longer this pair can go, the simpler the task for the middle order will become.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Ellis strays down leg! Runs coming thick and fast
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Hazlewood replaced by Ellis early on, and Australia just bleeding a few runs now. Ellis fires five wides down leg, and the very next ball is a leg bye that runs away for four more. Need to be careful here.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit keeps going against Starc!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: If Hazlewood is making it impossible to score, best ensure you do when Starc comes on. Exactly what Rohit is doing. Another excellent square drive to pick up four more, but still patient from him.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Smashed through covers! Rohit in the mood
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit enjoying himself against Starc! Gets width from the leftie, and just smacks it through the offside. Crisply hit!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Gill watchful against Hazlewood
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Hazlewood has been sensational in this series, so Gill gives him the respect he deserves. Just pinches a single off that over. No need to rush things with this total.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Chase gets going – Rohit picks up 4!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Chase gets going, and India will be confident. As evidence, Rohit comfortably clips one off his legs off Starc to pick up 4. He looked scratchy in the powerply last time out, but that is much better.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Rana wraps things up! Australia bowled out for 236
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: First gets Cooper Connolly to hold out to long off, then rings up Josh Hazlewood with a pinpoint yorker. Excellent from Rana, who shows his worth despite the criticism.
Australia around the 32-33 over mark looked set for 280+, so this does feel well under par. India will be happy when they come back and see a target of 237 to get away with a match in this series.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Prasidh gets Ellis
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Ends Ellis' counter. A slower ball that Ellis chips to Rohit at close-in midwicket. Good bowling to get him.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Ellis counter-attacks with a couple of boundaries
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Ellis decides to take the attack to PRasidh Krishna with the field up. Lofts it over the leg side then pierces the off.
Kuldeep Yadav to bowl out – and nearly gets Connolly! As close as can be.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: KULDEEP STRIKES! 18/4 in the last 5 overs
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Hasn't been his best day so far, but Kuldeep will just get you wickets. Mitchell Starc has no idea where that one is going, rocks back to a full one, and has his leg stump knocked over by a googly. Easily done by Kuldeep, and Australia suddenly 7 down. What a turnaround in this match.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Another one bites the dust! Owen gone early
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Really important wicket! Mitch Owen had flexed his power in Adelaide, so getting him early was important. Good captaincy from Gill, brings back the pace of Harshit and has a slip in for the new man. Tentative from Owen, and a thick edge floats very nicely to Rohit Sharma, who pouches it. Good cricket from India and now the Aussies are 6 down!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Important wicket! Sundar removes well-set Renshaw
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: The arm-ball gets Renshaw! He was batting well, but just beaten for pace by that one a little. Slides into him with the angle, and he can't get bat to it as it thuds into his pads. Finger goes up, and DRS doesn't save him: three reds, and he's gone after a solid innings he fails to build on.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: 188/4 after 35; Iyer helped off field
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Iyer looks in a lot of pain but can make it off the field with a bit of support. Hopefully just an impact injury and he hasn't pulled anything. The stunning catch had him put his body on the line.
Renshaw reaches his first career half-century, and Cooper Connolly will try to keep his form going.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Shreyas Iyer takes a stunner to remove Carey, but he is in pain!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: What a catch that is! A thick leading edge from Carey looks like it will fall in no man's land, but Iyer hustles and takes a terrific running catch at full stretch over his shoulder! He hits the floor hard though, and is in pain. Still on the ground as his teammates come around him and the physio takes a look. Hopefully nothing too serious.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Renshaw looking in good touch, approaching his 50
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Renshaw is playing his debut ODI series but his experience is showing as he is doing so well to keep the run rate emoving against the spinners. Not allowing them to settle and looking relatively comfortable. India will be growing a little anxious given the batting to come.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Carey and Renshaw rebuild for Australia
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Good from the two southpaws again. The partnership into the 40s. Just picking the gaps and running hard, and finding the odd boundary to keep it moving along. Ensuring the spinners can't put them under pressure.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: GREAT CATCH BY KOHLI! Reflexes still sharp
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Got him! No bonus life for Matt Short this time. Sweeps it hard, but straight to Kohli at square leg inside the ring. He reacts so well to get his hands up reverse-cup, and holds on to it.
Short was dropped twice last match – this could be crucial. Washington with the wicket.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: 113/2 after 20 overs
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: India doing well in this phase to keep tabs on the scoring, and picking up that important wicket of Marsh to ensure they have a pair of relatively new batters at the crease. The three-ponged spin attack will want to keep this kind of pressure building.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Axar Patel strikes! Removes Mitchell Marsh
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Bowled him! Really important wicket as Marsh reached his 40s, but the skipper was struggling against the offie. This wicket was around the corner. Tries to play off the backfoot but it's too full and kisses the off stump.
88/2 now.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: India lose a review on a caught behind
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: KL Rahul thinks India have Matt Short after he attempts a big sweep, but Kuldeep and the umpire are unmoved. Shubman Gill does go to DRS – but nothing on snicko. No luck for Kuldeep there.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kuldeep comes on and keeps it quiet
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Kuldeep into the action in the 11th over and concedes just 4 off it. He will be important just to tempt Short or Marsh into making a mistake trying to attack him.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Shubman Gill misses golden chances for a run-out!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Matt Short was nearly sold down the river! So much yes-no-yes between him and his skipper, and he ultimately is dead to rights as Gill has a view of all three stumps to hit. The Indian captain will be so disappointed he has missed from there! Should have gotten the direct hit there.
63/1 after the first 10 overs.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Important wicket! Siraj removes Head
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: GOT HIM! That could be crucial. Head picks up 4 but tries to go again, but it's just too close to him. Siraj rushes him a bit, so even though it is well-timed, Head can't get the direction on it. Steers it straight to backward point.
61/1 now, important wicket to just interrupt the flow.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Better over from Prasidh, just 3 off it
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Prasidh corrects what he was getting wrong by pitching it short. Goes up fuller to Marsh, right under his bat. Stops the bleeding, there was a streak of overs with 4s going on there. 57/0 after 9.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: 50 up in 7.3 overs
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: It has been a series where the powerplay bowlers have enjoyed themselves, but not today. India's bowlers struggling to contain this pair at the moment. This could become really dangerous.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: First six! Prasidh comes on and Marsh greets him with a big one
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Too easy for Marsh. He finds those short of length deliveries too easy, and that is the length Prasidh sits at. Just right into Marsh's arc, easy swing of the bat but it flies so deep into the crowd. First six, and India sensing trouble.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Aussie batters finding the boundaries now!
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Runs coming along! Marsh picks up two boundaries off that Harshit over just as he loses his line, and Siraj starts his next over with a wide one that Head can punch through extra cover.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Head picks up first four
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: First boundary of the match! Siraj gets too straight to Head, who can pick the gap past square leg into the vacant boundary. A couple of plays and misses in that over, though.
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Good from Rana from the other end
India vs Australia 3rd ODI LIVE Updates: Pressure on Harshit Rana as he shares the new ball, but he is off to a good start as well. On the money against Head, and his length doesn't allow runs. Just 2 off that over.
