India vs Australia, 3rd ODI: Australia Take Series 2-1 As India Are Handed A Rare Defeat At Home - In Pics

Indian captain Rohit Sharma and the team management have some thinking to do after the 2-1 defeat in the ODI series against Australia. In the third and decisive game in Chennai on Wednesday, chasing a stiff target of 270 on a tricky pitch, India were all out for 248 in 49.1 overs. The disappointment was greater because they seemed comfortably placed at 185/4 in the 36th over. But in the final 15 overs Australian spinners Adam Zampa (4/45) and Ashton Agar (2/41) wrestled back the initiative from the hosts. With the ODI World Cup coming up in October, this setback is a timely eye-opener for India.
