Fans on X reacted after Australia thumped India by 66 runs in the dead rubber third ODI of the series to avoid the whitewash. The game took place at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot and it was all about Men in Yellow as they were right on the money with bat and ball. 

Australia won the toss and utilized the good batting conditions to a great extent. Openers David Warner (56) and Mitchell Marsh (96) came out all guns blazing as they took the attack to the Indian bowlers and smashed them all over the park for their 78-run opening partnership. 

After the wicket of Warner, Steve Smith (74) and Marsh slammed a 137-run partnership to completely take the game away from India in that phase. However, the Men in Blue chipped in with a few quick wickets after that and were back in the game. But Marnus Labuschagne stepped up for his team. 

He smashed 72 runs that powered Australia to a gigantic total of 352 runs. For India, Jasprit Bumrah picked up three wickets but went for 81 runs. Whereas Kuldeep Yadav picked two wickets as well. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna picked one wicket each. 

Chasing the target, captain Rohit Sharma (81) took India off the flyer as he along with Washington Sundar (18) added 74 runs for the opening stand. Virat Kohli (56) then chipped in as well with a magnificent half-century. But Glenn Maxwell saent that trio packing. 

Shreyas Iyer (48) and KL Rahul (26) got the starts but they failed to cash on it and lost their wickets at crucial junctures. Australia kept picking wickets at regular intervals that ruled India out of the game. Ravindra Jadeja (35) tried his best but the target was too much in the end. 

Glenn Maxwell starred with the ball as he picked up four wickets. All the other bowlers were amongst the wickets as Australia bundled out India for 286 runs to win the game by the margin of 66 runs. They would be heading into the World Cup with some confidence now.
