The viewers found over friendliness between India and Australia players a bit odd in the series.

We saw India and Australia players sharing smiles and laughs during the ODI series. But during the third ODI, India pacer Shardul Thakur was fired up after dismissing Australia's Moises Henriques.

Shardul gave Henriques a stare after getting him out on 22 runs in a chase of 303 runs. The Aussie attempted a pull shot but he got caught by Shikhar Dhawan at mid-wicket.

The back of the length delivery did the trick for Shardul and he got so aggressive that skipper Virat Kohli had to calm him down.

Twitterati loved the aggression from Shardul after they saw the friendliness between players in the first two matches. India and Australia's clashes aren't used to such friendly exchange of words and the viewers were missing the fire.

Earlier in the match, Shardul dismissed the in-form batsman Steve Smith on a delivery going down the leg side. Smith had scored a hundred in both the first two matches.

Here are the reactions from Twitterati:
