India vs Australia scorecard, 5th ODI: ‘Men in Blue’ thrash Aussies, clinch series 4-1

India beat Australia in the 5th ODI by 7 wickets at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Sunday. With this win, Virat Kohli-led 'Men in Blue' clinched the series 4-1.

In reply to Australia's 242 for 9 in 50 overs, India chased the target in just 42.5 overs with 7 wickets remaining. Rohit Sharma's 14th international ton helped the team comfortably win the match.

Talking about India's bowling side, Axar Patel was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed 3 wickets. Kedar Jadhav and Kuldeep Yadav bowled economical spells whereas the speedsters Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar put the brakes on Aussie innings in the end. India kept on picking wickets at regular intervals and despite some good innings from Warner, Stoinis and Head, the visitors couldn't put any pressure on the hosts.
