5 highest-scoring tied matches in ODI history

3) New Zealand vs India - third ODI, Auckland 2014

Jadeja impressed with both and ball in a thrilling tie

It was another ODI overseas tour and again India were 2-0 down. This time, having lost the first two matches and needed a win in the third ODI to keep the series alive against New Zealand. After winning the toss and electing to field, India wouldn't have been happy that the hosts put on 314 in their quota of overs.

In response, India lost their top-order before any progress could be made with the chase. But when Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni were batting there was still hope. But the former was dismissed for 31 and Dhoni was gone soon after he got to his fifty and by then, the visitors still needed 131 from 14.2 overs.

But Ravindra Jadeja, who had earlier bowled brilliantly was done with the game yet. After putting on 85 runs for the seventh wicket with Ashwin, Jadeja batted brilliantly with the tail to bring it down to 18 needed off the last over. 12 was required off the last three balls and Jadeja hit a four and a six but could only get 1 off the last ball and the game was tied.

Jadeja was rightfully given the Man of the Match as he was the one who claimed a tie from the jaws of defeat and kept them alive in the series.
