India 234-3 (49.2 ovs) vs Aus 230 | Scorecard

Yuzvendra Chahal picked up six wickets while Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav hit unbeaten half-centuries to steer India to their first ever ODI series victory in Australia.

Dhoni brought his experience into play with a controlled innings of 87 from 114 balls, while Jadhav hit an unbeaten 61 from 57 balls. The duo were involved in an unbroken match-winning fourth wicket partnership of 121 from 116 balls to lift India to 234 for three in 49.2 overs.

India registered an emphatic seven-wicket victory with four balls to spare to clinch the three-match series 2-1, their first-ever bilateral ODI series triumph in Australia.

Earlier, electing to bowl, India bundled out Australia for 230 in 48.4 with Chahal claiming a career-best six for 42.

With this win, India ended the Australian tour on a high, in which they created history by winning their first ever Test and ODI series Down Under, while the three-match T20I series finished 1-1 after one match was washed out.
