India vs Australia, 3rd ODI: Hits and Misses

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016: Semi-Final: West Indies v India
Ajinkya Rahane's opening partnership with Rohit Sharma was a definitive hit

#2 Miss: Glenn Maxwell

Australia v Pakistan - ODI Game 4
Maxwell's star dipped after the first two matches with a poor performance in #3

After getting off to impressive starts in the first two games, the swashbuckling Australian batsman could only make 5 runs off 13 deliveries in the third.

He found himself falling to the wrist-spin of Yuzvendra Chahal yet again. His dismissal read the same words that it did in the second ODI: st Dhoni b Chahal. The only difference between the two was that the Kings XI Punjab batsman missed a delivery on the offside yesterday, as opposed to the first one, which was a wide down the leg side.

The 28-year-old has been a part of the Indian Premier League for a long time now and was expected to shine in this series by extracting knowledge from the same. However, he has failed to touch his best and it is too late now to make anything of the ODI series.

India have already stamped a victorious mark on the five-match series and the best that the Australia can hope for is a narrow, 3-2 defeat in the series now.
