IND vs AUS, 3rd ODI: Clinical Australia hand India a rare home series defeat | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Australian Spinning Machine Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar took the lead after a resilient batting performance as the visitors stunned Rohit Sharma and copper. in the deciding series of the third and final day in Chennai to score a win in a rare series in India.
This is India’s first series loss at home since they lost 2-3 to Australia in March 2019. In between, India have played 7 series of ODIs at home and won each. among them.

But on Wednesday, Australia overtook India comprehensively to win in 21 games.
As it happened
In the tough 270 chase, India started on fire but then ran out of breath as the Australians kept putting pressure on the players. Filmers Zampa and Agar shared six hooks to strangle the hosts during the chase.
India ended up winning 248 out of 49.1 rounds as Australia returned in the series after losing their first ODI with 5 goals.
The series loss is a sign that the Indian team is far from preparing for the World Cup and there are too many loose things to tighten.
The match turned out to be a climax in the last 15 rounds as Australian spinners Zampa (4/45) and Agar (2/41 in 10 rounds) only missed 86 runs in their 20 rounds and won 6 sockets in total.
The Chepauk track got slower and slower and ranked 35th in the Indian innings, it was difficult to hit the big shots.
When Zampa bowled a few googlies to force Hardik Pandya (40 out of 40 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja (1 out of 33 balls) to hit their turns, writing was printed on the wall.
Those are Zampa’s best characters against India and he’s definitely an Australian hero.
Incidentally, Australia was the last international team to beat India in a bilateral ODI series in 2019. The score then was 3-2. Since that series defeat four years ago, India has won seven bilateral ODI rubber matches at home.
It was three games in a row that the top Indian tennis player flattered to fool and that also took place in home conditions. They could have been 3-0 down in the series if Australia had scored at least 235 goals in the opening ODI.
The highest number of runs for India in the series is KL Rahul with 116 runs and that tells the story.
Between 35 and 43, India ran only 31 times and that’s when the game turned the tide.
Captain Rohit Sharma (30 of 17 balls) started well but pulled in too much of a pull to concede a goal deep in the fence while Alex Carey’s convincing decision sobered Steve Smith doing a DRS saw the return of Shubman Gill (37 of 49 balls).
Rahul (32 out of 50 balls) participates Virat kohli (54 of 72 balls) and the duo added 69 runs in 15.3 laps but could never be so dominant on a track that slowed down over time.
Kohli’s first boundary came on his 21st serve, a drag on target by Agar and two balls later by Tamil Nadu, where he hit a regal Agar six through cover. more.
Rahul’s first boundary came on his 45th ball when he headed Zampa with a score of four. Next, Starc fired from the sideline but the long ball was on target by six points.
However, a ball shot by Zampa into the hole was dug out by Rahul but Abbot timed the jump very well to keep it on the touchline.
Then it was Agar’s turn to quickly send back Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav (0) was in bad shape for his third first duck in as many games.
From 146 to 2, India dropped to 185 to 6 when Pandya and Jadeja joined forces with the close Australian players to make the match extremely difficult.
However, Pandya still maintained a hit rate of over 100 despite being heavily bowled by the opposition.
Before that, a great opening spell by Pandya and a probing effort by Kuldeep Yadav tightened the leash around the Australians before its tail wagged dramatically to send the visitors into a skirmish. 269 ​​in all 49 rounds after choosing to play first.
Five shots added 131 to keep Australia on the game.
While Pandya (3/44 in 8 rounds) is far ahead of the top half, Kuldeep’s rhythm and dexterity (3/56 in 10 rounds) on the useful Chennai track are the biggest achievements when it comes to serving. then eliminated Carey as a result of the series.
It was the classic left-wrist spinner’s leg break that beat all southern pins and Kuldeep’s ecstasy was witnessed.
India took control after closing Australia at 138 to 5 but a 58 point gap between Carey and Marcus Stoinis for game six and 42 for game eight between Sean Abbott (26) and Ashton Agar ( 17) brought them closer to 250 while Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa added 22 precious runs for the final game.
What seemed like a good shot to win for Australia after Mitchell Marsh (47 of 47 balls) and Travis Head (33 of 31 balls) made 68 shots in the opening position didn’t seem to be the case because Pandya made three different serves in his first three passes to fully capture the momentum in favor of the hosts.

David Warner (23 of 31 balls) and Marnus Labuschagne (28 of 45 balls) paid dearly for their careless shot selection against Kuldeep’s bowling ball before Carey (38 of 46 balls) played his first turn on the last day of a nearly two-month-long match.
