India vs Australia Live: Here’s what Ravindra Jadeja said before the match

I am feeling good, confident and I will look to continue to do well for longer period of time. I have been working hard in NCA on my skills, I knew at some stage it would pay off and happy with my performance, don’t like to take anything for granted. Everyone is happy, environment is positive and we are looking forward to this game.

India vs Australia Live: Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

We were looking to field first. It’s an important game and the deciders are always interesting. It’s always good to put us in this situation. It’s a challenge for us to come back and play some good cricket under pressure. Hopefully we can put our best foot forward. Australia are a good team and you can always test your depth. We are playing with the same team. We were thinking of playing with four seamers but the conditions here are suitable for the spinners, so we go with three spinners.

India vs Australia Live: Pitch report

Pitch is slightly off-center, so the dimensions change and it’s going to be a long boundary. Bowlers have had a little bit of help in this series. This track has covering of grass, has rough through the center. It’s very hard and the roughness might come into play in the first innings. It might be slightly two-paced initially. Teams winning the toss will opt to bowl first and as it gets cooler it’s a belter to bat.

India vs Australia Live: Deadly starc

Pacer Mitchell Starc rattled the Indian batting order in the second ODI and achieved his ninth five-wicket haul. He is at his deadly best and will definitely be at the center of attention.

The star India batter brought up his most-awaited 28th Test ton during the fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad. However, he is yet to play a big innings in the ongoing ODI series. He will definitely look to give a remarkable performance in the series finale.
