India vs Australia 3rd ODI: As it happened in Melbourne

MS Dhoni hit his third half century in as many matches while Kedar Jadhav scored an unbeaten fifty as India beat Australia by 7 wickets in the third and final match to win the ODI series 2-1.

Chasing a target of 231, India lost Rohit Sharma early. However, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli moved the score ahead. It was left to Dhoni along with Jadhav this time to take India home again.

Earlier, Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed his first opportunity in the series with both hands, taking a career-best 6 for 42 to decimate Australia for a paltry 230.
