India vs Australia 2017, 3rd ODI: 5 reasons why India came out on top

#4 Brilliant wrist-spin from Yadav and Chahal

Yadav and Chahal took some very important wickets

Following the departure of David Warner, the Australian innings was put in a solid position by Aaron Finch and Steve Smith who were dealing with the Indian bowlers pretty well. Kuldeep Yadav, who took a hat-trick in the previous game at Eden Gardens, was targeted by Finch, who smashed three sixes and a couple of boundaries off his bowling to reach his hundred.

Smith also batted steadily to reach his 50. The duo added 154 for the second wicket and Australia were now staring at a very large total. However, Yadav rebounded brilliantly by dismissing Finch for 124. Shortly thereafter, he dismissed Smith for 63. Australia still had Glenn Maxwell at the crease, but even he was taken care of, by Yuzvendra Chahal, for just 5. These quick wickets began to put pressure on the new batsmen and Australia were restricted to 293.
