Australia defeated India by 21 runs in the third match of the ODI series played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, March 22. With this victory, Australia captured the series 2-1 and made a brilliant comeback after losing the Test series. Steve Smith led the Kangaroos beautifully in absence of Pat Cummins.

Meanwhile, the Indian Team was seen posing for a picture after losing the series which garnered a lot of attention. The fans were fuming as every Indian player was seen smiling in the picture despite losing the ODI series. Notably, they will be playing against each other in the Indian T20 League for two months so that could be a reason to click a picture with the entire staff.

Talking about the last match, Australia scored 269 runs while batting first. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh started from where they left in the second ODI as they stitched a 68-run stand for the first wicket. But, Hardik Pandya bowled brilliantly and dismissed three Australian batters in no time.

David Warner, batting at four, along with Marnus Labuschagne looked to repair the innings but both the batters threw away their starts as they were trapped by Kuldeep Yadav. However, Australia's lower order somehow takes them to 269. In response, the Indian team was reduced to a score of 248 runs. Kohli scored 54 runs and Pandya scored 40 runs for India but couldn’t win the match as they lost by 21 runs.

We can take a lot of positives from the nine ODIs since January: Rohit Sharma

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma talked about the series and said, “Lot of takeaways. We can take a lot of positives from the nine ODIs since January. We need to understand where we need to improve. It's a collective failure, we can take a lot of learnings from this series.” Rohit said in the post-match interview.

The winning captain Steve Smith also talked about their tour and said, "It has been an enjoyable tour. We did not play our best cricket, good enough to get over the line. This wicket was entirely different, we left a few out there with the bat. The spinners bowled beautifully, really good performance. It was a real grind in the field. The way the tail stuck and got us to 269, got us to a nice total," Smith said after the match.
