Ind vs Aus: India eye 3-0 lead against the World Champions
India has dominated the series without playing their best cricket, runs have come at the top and the lower middle order but the problem lies in the number 4. Manish Pandey has yet to justify his selection in the playing eleven with a poor outing in two matches, thus KL Rahul remains in contention.
The Indian team is virtually unplayable at the moment, even the World Champions are struggling as they find themselves 2-0 in the five-match ODI series. The Men in Blue are on the verge of equaling their previous record in the third ODI. If they win then it will be their ninth successive victory in the ODI, which will be their joint longest winning streak. The last time they won 9 straight ODI was under the leadership of MS Dhoni (November 2008 to February 2009)

While for visitors, their batsmen have to start producing, they have been disappointing so far particularly against wrist spin. Both team's bowling department has executed in tough bowling conditions, but the difference has been Aussies failure to execute with the bat.
