THE HONEST LIVE BLOG, India vs Australia, 3rd ODI, Indore: Sorry Australia, this time Team India takes the series home

Virat Kohli & Co. will definitely eye on capturing yet another ODI series at home. Ghar ki baat ghar pe rahe to zyada achha, hai ki nai?

And finally, India won the third ODI against Australia at the Holkar Stadium and captured the series by 3-0. Kung Fu Pandya ki DHOOANDHAAR batting aur Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane ki solid start ki help se India ne Australia ko 5 wicket se hara diya. Ghar ki baat ab ghar pe hai aur ye series bhi hui Team India ke naam.

Shuruat to aisi hui maano aaj India ki haar pakki ho. Aaron Finch, David Warner aur Steven Smith ne to aaj tabahi machi thi usse to laga to ki boss, aaj ka match to mushkil hai. 294 runs ka target koi easy to hta nahi hai. Starting me pressure Indian players se zyada Indian fans pe tha. Lekin jaise hi Rohit Sharma aur Ajinkya Rahane batiing karne aaye, stadium me mano aag hi lag gayi.

Fir Pandya ne jo Aussies ke saath Dandiya khela uska to jawab hi nahi. Sari Australian team hi off-beat ho gai. The Indian players superbly played and took the series home.

Dusri taraf, Aussie captain Steven Smith ka ‘jindagi barbad ho giya‘. Wo ab apne players ke baare mein kehte honge ki “inhe aata hi nahi, inse hota hi nahi“. Par hum to yahi kahenge ki Smith Bhai, waqt gaya nahi hai, ek-aadhaa match to jeet lo yaar. If only you can!

Steven Smith MEME

To ab mulakat hogi Thursday ko, 4th ODI me. But before that let’s have a look how Indians played Dandiya with the Aussies:

21:16 IST Pandya ko mila jeevan daan aur usne kiya apna kaam. What a superb inning played by Pandya. 78 off 72 balls. Bhai Kya to dhoya hai Aussies ko. Though he lost his wicket towards the end, he played his part superbly and took India to the victory side. Mahi bhai bas aise hi walk karne aaye the last mein aur match jeetkar wapas chale gaye. India won the game and series as well.

The Match Winners

20:35 IST The Aussies have made a sudden comeback which is making the Indian fans a bit nervous. 3 runs mein 2 wicket aur sabse dukh hua jab Kaptaan Kohli out ho gaye. Kohli ke baad Kedar Jadhav bhi pavilion laut gaye. Lekin Apna Pandya to data hua hai Angad ke pair ki tarah. Steven Smith dropped his catch in between and gave him a life line and now he is trying his best to make the most that chance. Are Smith bhaiyya, catch hi nahi shayad match hi chhod diya aapne!

Hardik Pandya MEME

20:00 IST The Indians are rooting for the series victory. Rohit Sharma (71) aur Ajinkya Rahane (70) ne maahual badhiya bana diya hai. And now, Virat Kohli and ‘Kung Fu’ Hardik Pandya are at the crease who are taking the game closer to victory. Aaj Pandya ko Manish Pandey ki jagah batting ke liye bheja gaya hai aur wo bhi kaptaan sahab ke saath mil kar Aussies ki dhulai kar rahe hain. Phle pressure India ke upar tha par ab Kangaroo fafi nervous nazar aa rahe hain.

18:42 IST Will anybody ask Rohit Sharma ki unhone aj khaya kya hai? Agar Viru Paji ki language mein kahein to “Aaj Rohit mein MAATA aagai hai.” The two batsmen from Bombay are doing Dadagiri at fullest against the Aussies. Maine to bola tha inko, Indians se pangaa nahi lena leking meri sunta hi kaun hai. Now see the results yourself. 15 over mein 100 runs ban gaye hain India ke aur Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane ne fifty bhi mar li. Bechare hamare Smith Bhaiyya, soch rahe honge,”Ye Kahaan Aa Gaye Hum.” Ab to saare Indians bhi Aussies se yahi pooch rahi hogi, “Aussie, Tujhe India pe Bharosa Nahi Kya?”

18:05 IST Hello people, the 2nd innings of the game is on and the Rohit Sharma and Ajinkyta Rahane have come to the crease. Target hai 294 runs ka jo ki bilkul aasan nahi hai. Shuru se hi kootai karni hogi varna fir se Pandya aur Dhoni pe dependent hona padega. By the way, the Indians have started well. Rohit ne ek shaandaar 6 bhi maaraa aur shuru ke 6 overs mein ban gaye hain 34 runs. Thoda sa run rate kam hai but abhi to shuruat hai. Keeps your fingers crossed kyunki bahut mazaa aane wala hai. Let’s cheer for India… India…. India!

17:07 IST People, first inning ho gai hai khatam aur India ko jeetne ke liye chahiye 294 runs from 50 overs. Bhai score to tough hai, par agar apne ladke jam ke khele to jitna apne liye koi mushkil baat hai kya. Milte hain ek break ke baad fir saath me dekhenge India ki batting.

17:00 IST Bhai kaha tha na ki match mein mazaa ayega. Match mein mazaa aaya aur kya comebak kiya hai India ne. Once it seemed as if the Aussies will go beyond 350 runs lekin spinners ne aaj fir breakpoint dilwaya hai. Aur ab 300 bhi na ban paye. Bhai, Indians mein dum to hai. After the wickets of Finch and Smith, bowlers me to jaisi shakti si aa gai hai. Waah kya bowling ki hai. Ultimate come back.

16:20 IST Bhagwaan ne sum li, tabhi itni jaldi update de raha hun. I told you, Kuldeep yadav aayega aur wahi kuch karega. Kiya na… Kuldeep Yadav removed Aaron Finch and the Indians are happy again. Yahi nahi, Captain Smith ko bhej diya wapas. Ye Kuldeep cheez hi kuch aur hai! Aur Chahal bhi kam nahi hai. Glen Maxwell ko bhi Chahal ne chalta kiya wo bhi chaturai ke saath! Oye hoye Mazaa AA a Gaya! Bhai, ye match bada tagda hone wala hai. Don’t miss anything, there’s lot to come…

Team India MEME

 

16:00 IST  Australains, khush to bahut hohe aaj tum. The Indian bowlers are totally helpless today. Aaron Finch aayega to ye hoga, wo hoga… Bhai century maar ke abhi tak tika hua hai. Ek ghante se zyada ho gaya ek wicket gire and the Aussies are getting stronger. Bhai hamare pass bhi Rohit, Rahane, Kohli, Pandya, Dhoni sab hain but wicketlens bhi to important hai. A good way to make a comeback in the series by the Aussies but itni pitai kaun karta hai bhai? Steven Smith has also scored a half-century. Aaj Indians ki haalat tight ho rakhi hai. Batting me aaj kuch khaas karna hoga nahi to mushkil hai boss. Aaplog ye GIF dekho main zara God ko maska laga ke aata hun.

15:30 IST Probably rain is lucky for Indian bowlers. Aaj baarish hui nahi to wicket milna mushkil ho gaya hai. The game is getting very boring. Itna boring ki commentators 2007 T20 World Cup ki hi baat kar rahein hain. Stadium to bhara hai but sabko neend aa rahi hai. Aaj na to Bhuvneshwar kuch kar paa rha hai, na Bumrah aur Chahl to kab aakar chale jaa rhaein hain, pata hi nahi chal rha. Indian players are restless and Aaron Finch is playing jaise video game chal rha ho koi. Har ball mein ya to chaukaa ya to 6. Aur aaj to Smith bhi form mei lag rahe hain.

via GIPHY

15:04 IST Australia ne wicket to khoya but koi difference to nzar hi nahi aa rha ha yaar. It seems that today, the pressure is on India and not on the Aussies. Ab ye Aaron Finch ko hi dekh lijiye, mazaak-mazaak me half-century maar gaye. Probably he has done his homework. Are bhai Virat, aaj ye aapke bowlers ko kya hua hai? Ask the to take wickets warna log kya kahenge? Australians have crossed 100 runs benchmark. Bhaiyon kuch karo!

14:50 IST Anybody saw this tweet from BCCI? BCCI promoting Swachha Bharat Abhiyan during India vs Australia game. Indian bowlers wicket to le paa nahi rahe, baaki log safai hi kar lo yaar. Dekho video, thoda mood fresh hoga! Aur safai karte rhan boss warne ‘Mitron’ bolne waale uncle gussa ho jayenge

14:40 IST Are waah Kung Fu Pandya! What a bowl brother. David Warner ko jab tak pata chalta ki kya hua, Indian players ne celebrate karna shuru kar diya. Der aaye durudt aaye. Prayer Aunty’s devotion worked. India ko mil gaya pehla wicket. Jaan me jaan aa gai. Isi baat pe kuch meeth ho jaye! Are koi kuch khilayega yaar!

Virat MEME

14:12 IST Subah se na David Warner out hua hai na Aaron Finch. The Aussies have taken Izzat ki baat a bit seriously. 10 overs ho gaye aur ek bhi wicket nahi gira. 49 runs bhi ban gaye. Finch aur Warner are looking extremely cool on hot day aur Indians tp bas ek wicket hi khoj rahein hain. Ab kya Kuldeep Yadav ko hi lana padega kya?

Virat Kohli MEME

13:50 IST Yaar Aaron Finch ke ane se kuch to asar pada hai. 6 over ho gaye and no wickets loss for Australi. Upar se 24 runs bhi ban gaye hainKuch To gadbad Hai Daya. Are Indian bowers, kuch to karo bhaiyon. Bhuvneshwar ka Swing and Bumrah ki Yorker, show some magic dude! Are prayer aunty, how are you?

Parayer Aunty MEME

 

13:30 IST To aa jao saare, popcorn, cold drinks aur sare snacks lekar. Match has begun. Aaron Finch aur David Warner batting ko tayyar hai. Dekhte hain India ki karaari bowling ko kitna jhel paatey hain. Aaj to izzat ka sawal hai!

12:28 IST Chalo match nahi to toss hi sahi. Toss ho gaya hai and Steven Smith has won it. Jeetne ke baad batting le liya hai aur team mein wapsi ki hai Aaron Finch ne. Now it seems that ki muquabla takkar ka hone wala hai!

Pitch report

Indore ki pitch har jagah ki pitch ki tarah 22 yards ki hai aur dono ends pe 3-3 wickets lage hue hain. Ek side se bowling hogi aur doosri side se batting. Jis side se bowling hogi wahi pe umpire aur doosra batsman khada rahega. Zyada dimag mat daudao, khud dekh lo kaisa hai mahaul!

 

Mausam ka Haal

Finally, after two matches the weather at Indore is pretty good and the playing conditions are also decent. Google uncle bata rahein hain ki 29-degree celsius hai aur halki-halki dhoop khili rahegi. However, the clouds may play the game of hide-n-seek lekin match pe koi problem nahi aayegi!
