World's top-ranked ODI side thrashed Australia by seven&nbsp;wickets to claim the three-match series in Bengaluru. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli from the bat and Mohammed Shami with the bowl ensured that India won the three-match series comfortably.

Sharma, who also scored his first double-hundred in this ground, hit six sixes to score a stylish hundred that kept visitors at bay. Sharma and Kohli's 137-run partnership was broken by Adam Zampa when he sent back Sharma for 119 runs.&nbsp;

However, Shreyas Iyer did not allow Australia to bounce back and kept scoring at a strike rate over 100. Kohli and Iyer's fireworks snatched the match away from Aussies. Kohli was on course of another hundred but his plans were spoilt by Josh Hazlewood when he was clean-bowled on 89.

Frontline Australian bowlers, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc were brutally thrashed by Indian batsmen and both failed to claim any wicket. Spinners Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa were only bowlers who restricted the run flow and ended up with figures of 1 for 38 runs and 1 for 44 runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Manish Pandey smashed Hazlewood for a boundary to finish off the proceedings. Iyer remained not out on 44 that included one six and six fours.&nbsp;

Sharma was awared player of the match award for his innings. Kohli grabbed the man of the series trophy for two valuable knocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Earlier, Australia won the toss and this time elected to bat first. Steve Smith once again carried on his impressive form and this time completed the three-figure mark which helped Australia post 286 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Bengaluru is known as a high-scoring venue but wickets at regular interval meant that the visitors were unable to put up an intimidating total.&nbsp;

Shami again proved his worth as he ended up with four wickets for 62 runs. Shami gave India its first breakthrough by dismissing Warner whose unbeaten ton in the first match cost India a humiliating loss. Skipper Aaron Finch was run out after getting a decent start.

Smith and Marnus Labuschagne's partnership was looking threatening but Ravindra Jadeja, like the last match ended their stand and&nbsp;dismissed Labuschagne on 54. In the same over, Jadeja also claimed Mitchell Starc's wicket, who was sent to provide an impetus to Australia's innings.&nbsp;

Indian pacers once again were effective in the death overs and their yorkers not only took wickets but stopped the run-flow.

However, Smith kept holding one end and got out in the 48th over.

Jadeja ended up with two wickets and Jasprit Bumrah, even though did not pick any wicket, but proved his worth at death by restricting the scoring.&nbsp;

India vs Australia 3rd ODI: Rohit Sharma, Shami shine as hosts claim series

After overcoming "panic" among fans, Indian captain <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-vs-australia-1st-odi-virat-kohli-looks-forward-to-equal-sachin-tendulkar-and-go-past-ricky-ponting-274161">Virat Kohli</a> appears confident and collected&nbsp;when his side take on Australia in a tense deciding match in their one-day series on Sunday.

Many Indian fans had a near seizure after Australia hammered their side by 10 wickets in the first 50 over game on Tuesday. But <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-vs-australia-2nd-odi-virat-kohli-set-to-return-at-no-3-australia-eye-series-win-274794">Kohli's team dominated</a> Friday's second match and won by 36 runs, with opener Shikhar Dhawan hitting 96 and KL Rahul smashing 80 off 52 balls.

That helped to settle nerves and Kohli looked calm after the win in which he also made 78 in India's 340-6. "We live in the days of social media and a panic button being pressed too early," Kohli said after the game in Rajkot.

Anxiety still remains&nbsp;as Dhawan did not return to the field after being hit on the rib cage by a Pat Cummins bouncer during his 90-ball knock. Vice-captain Rohit Sharma also walked off after injuring his arm diving to prevent a boundary.

"It's that left shoulder that has popped out a few times. There's no tear so hopefully, he should be back for the next game," Kohli said. India experimented with the batting order in Mumbai but stuck with two traditional openers with Kohli at three as they saved the series.

Steve Smith stood out for Australia with his defiant 98 and stood guard with his team's new-look middle-order before chopping a Kuldeep Yadav delivery on to the stumps.

He put on a threatening 96-run third-wicket stand with Marnus Labuschagne, making his ODI debut in this series. Smith and Labuschagne steadied Australia after David Warner (15) and Aaron Finch (33), unbeaten centurions in the opening match, fell early.

Labuschagne made 46 at number four, and with wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey at five, Smith believes the new middle-order would take the team to the 2023 World Cup in India.

"I thought Marnus played really well in his first bat in one-day international cricket," Smith said. "He looked exceptionally good tonight. He hit the gaps hard, ran hard between the wickets and played some nice shots.

"And there's no reason why the three-four-five (batting order) can't stay as it is." Australia were bowled out for 304 in 49.1 overs having fallen steadily behind in the run chase once Smith had gone.

"We timed our chase pretty well when we lose three wickets in between 30 and 40 overs, it halts the ability to be able to go and try and get ten an over," said Smith.

"I would've liked to have batted a bit longer and been there in the happy hour."
