Kuldeep Yadav recreates epic Babar Azam wicket in IND vs AUS 3rd ODI, Carey stunned- WATCH

IND vs AUS: The Indian cricket team is playing against Australia in the third and deciding match of the three-match ODI series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The series is leveled at 1-1 after both the teams won the first and the second match in Mumbai and Visakhapatnam respectively. 

Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss in Chennai and elected to bat first on a slow Chepauk surface. The Aussie batsmen gave their team a blistering start and after the first ten overs, they had scored 61/0. India all-rounder Hardik Pandya broke the dangerous-looking opening partnership and dismissed 33. 

The visitors continued to attack the Indian bowlers after this but lost wickets at regular intervals. Team India spinner Kuldeep Yadav also had a good day with the ball as he dismissed three Aussie batsmen and has just given 56 runs off his quota of 10 overs.
