13:09 hrs IST: Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has revealed that India won't make any changes to their 2nd ODI squad.

13:05 hrs IST: Also, Josh Hazlewood has replaced Kane Richardson, who has been given time to rest.

13:01 hrs IST: Aaron Finch has won the toss, with Virat Kohli getting unlucky again. Australia will bat first.

12:55 hrs IST: India crashed to a 10-wicket loss in the 1st ODI at Wankhede. Virat Kohli tinkered with his batting order, going at number 4, with KL Rahul at number 3. India went back to their original strategy in the 2nd ODI.

"We live in the days of social media and a panic button being pressed too early. It's very important to figure out the best team you can put on the park and when you see how KL was batting today, it's very difficult to leave someone like that out," Kohli said at Rajkot.

12:46 hrs IST: Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are once again expected to open for India. Rohit hurt his shoulder while fielding in Rajkot, but Kohli feels that the Mumbaikar will feature in Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, Dhawan was hit in the rib cage off a Pat Cummins delivery. He didn't field.

"Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are progressing well. Their recovery is being closely monitored and a call on their participation in the final ODI will be taken before the match," BCCI said in a statement.

12:27 hrs IST: Good evening and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the 3rd ODI between India and Australia, at Bengaluru. With the series having been levelled at Rajkot, Virat Kohli will be aiming that his side carry on with their form and wrap it up today.

The hosts weren't expected to stage a comeback after the Aussie hammering in the opener at Wankhede Stadium. But Team India came back strong in the second ODI to set up a fitting finale.

Ravi Shastri and Co. will once again expect KL Rahul to prove his calibre as he did so at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Apart from his keeping, his elegant batting display will be one to watch out for too.

Virat Kohli is once again expected to come at number three, after having done so in the second ODI. The Men in Blue would not repeat a tactical failure like the first at Wankhede. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma will look to give India a good start. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will lead India's bowling department.

For Australia, David Warner will look to bounce back after running out of gas in Rajkot. Aaron Finch will need him to give the visitors a rocking start.

Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will be waiting at number three and four respectively, to pile up the runs with style. Mitchell Starc will look to bounce back, meanwhile Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa are expected to continue on with their fine bowling display.
