The past few years have been tough for Kuldeep Yadav as the spinner has been in and out of the Indian cricket team. However, it left everyone stunned by a beauty of a delivery to dismiss Alex Carey during the third ODI encounter between India and Australia in Chennai on Wednesday. With the pitch providing assistance to spinners, Kuldeep pitched the ball on the leg stump and turned sharply to crash into Carey's off stump. The batsman was left completely bamboozled by the movement of the ball and even Australia skipper Steve Smith had to watch the replay to believe it.
Steve Smith was left embarrassed after a horrible review that forced Virat Kohli and even his teammate Marnus Labuschagne to laugh out loud during the third ODI encounter between India and Australia in Chennai on Wednesday. During the 10th over of the innings, Kohli chased a delivery from Sean Abbott outside the off-stump and most Australia fielders were convinced that he edged it to the keeper. Smith went for the review but the replays should that the ball was nowhere close to the bat and the third umpire did not even bother to check the ultra-edge. Smith was visibly sheepish after the replay was shown and Kohli could not help but laugh at Smith's decision to take the review.

Although Rohit took the DRS with a smile on his face, there was a sudden shift in his emotions as he lashed out at Kuldeep for some reason. It was not clear whether he was indulging in a banter or not.
Hardik Pandya is back to his best as an all-rounder. The star has been contributing both with the bat and ball in the limited overs formats. He has also been regularly leading the team in the T20Is. He was also the stand-in captain in the first ODI against Australia. On Wednesday, Pandya once again proved to be quite a handful with the ball as he took three wickets in three overs. With Australia in full flow, reaching 61/0 in 10 overs, Pandya came to India's rescue. He got the wickets of Travis Head (33), Steve Smith (0) and Mitchell Marsh (47) in the 11th, 13th and 15th overs respectively.
Virat Kohli is well known for having fun on the field with his India teammates and his dance moves have gone viral on social media. The dance moves were once again on display ahead of the third ODI encounter between India and Australia in Chennai on Wednesday as the ex-India skipper was seen moving to the tunes of a Shah Rukh Khan song. The song ‘Lungi Dance' from the movie Chennai Express was playing as the India team took the field and Kohli could not control himself from breaking into a dance. Even Ravindra Jadeja joined in on the fun as India looked in a jovial mood.
