With the three-match ODI series tantalisingly poised at 1-1, the task is cut out for both India and Australia in the tour finale.
India bounced back from the 34-run loss in the series opener at Sydney, with another Virat Kohli masterclass century combined with his predecessor Mahendra Singh Dhoni's vintage finish to pull off a 6-wicket win at Adelaide.
Going into the final ODI, India will be aiming to take the winning momentum and end the ongoing tour Down Under without losing a series.
The Virat Kohli-led side started their tour with a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series that ended in a 1-1 draw, followed by a historic first-ever 2-1 Test series win for India on Australian soil.
