3rd ODI (D/N), Rajkot, September 27, 2023, Australia tour of India

India vs Australia 3rd ODI Live Score Updates: An in-form India side will look to make history by whitewashing the Kangaroos in the third ODI at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, Gujarat. India have never whitewashed Australia in the ODI format and Rohit Sharma's men will be looking to change that today. The Indian team will be without five key players - Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel and Mohammed Shami - on 27 September. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Kuldeep Yadav have joined the squad. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has said that only five players are available for selection for the 3rd ODI against Australia since the squad has been hit by a viral sickness and some players have opted to return home. India, who are leading the three-match series 2-0, will have only 13 players to choose from for the final ODI. Australia are expected to field their usual line-up, led by the return of Pat Cummins as skipper after Steve Smith led the side in the previous match. Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc are also expected to feature. India had defeated Australia by 99 runs in the second ODI in Indore despite the absence of senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Shreyas Iyer had won the Player of the Match award in that match after his hundred against the Kangaroos helped the Men in Blue post a mammoth 399-run total.
