MS Dhoni scored three consecutive fifties in three ODIs of the series.
In the last ODI at the MCG, Australia could only put 230 runs on the board, as leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal ran through the side with 6/42 and Shami and Bhuvneshwar picking two wickets each. In the chase, India lost two relatively quick wickets, but first with Virat Kohli (46) and then with Kedar Jadhav (61*), Man of the Series MS Dhoni (87*) took India to a 7-wicket win and pocketed the series.
Dhoni and Jadhav added 121* runs for the fourth wicket and put the nail in Australian team’s coffin, ending their chances of sneaking in a win.
The cricket fraternity was in awe of the performance of the Indian team in the ODI series and applauded them on Twitter.
