India vs Australia Highlights And Cricket Score 4th Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 50.0 IND: 358/9

Shikhar Dhawan is Murali Kartik's guest. He explains that he enjoyed his innings as he took calculative risk. States he respected the good balls and he stuck to the process. Admits that sometimes hardwork does not get the reward but he was never disheartened. On the conversation with Rohit Sharma, Shikhar says they were not able to convert in the last few matches so they just wanted to take their time in. Hopes that his century and partnership with Rohit can see the side home. Reckons that the pitch is good to bat but getting 350+ will be difficult and the pressure will be on Australia. On being asked his favorite shot of his innings, Dhawan smiles and says the one which he came down the track and lofted over covers.

So the target is one short of 360. The wicket is a belter but there will be scoreboard pressure on the Australians along with the thoughts of leveling the series. They will have to bat really well to get to this. Will they level the series or will the Indians seal it here itself? Join us in a while to find out. For now, Murali Kartik is with a guest.

Not a lot to write for the Aussie bowlers. It was a difficult day for them. The wicket had nothing on offer but you can say, they were poor with their lines and lengths too. Cummins did not seem at his best today but still finished with a fifer. Jhye did take three but his economy was above 9. Zampa was economical but only had a wicket to his name.

The openers laid the foundation for a big score, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan added 193 runs. The former was dismissed in the 90s but the latter went onto get a ton. Once he got to his hundred, he was smashing the ball at will. With him striking the ball so well and a lot of batting to come, India would have been eyeing the 400-run mark then. However, after his wicket no batsman could make use of the starts. Pant and Rahul both got off to starts but were dismissed at the wrong time for India. Some meaty blows though towards the end from Shankar saw them finish on 358.

Win the toss, elect to bat in an excellent batting conditions and make full use of it. That is exactly what India have done here. They have set the Aussies a massive target. They could have probably got more but they will be extremely pleased with where they are at the moment.

49.6 6

Pat Cummins to Jasprit Bumrah. SIX! Oh, my word. The number 11 has smoked one into the stands. Doesn't matter if you have taken five wickets, Bumrah gives room and lofts this over long on for a biggie. Virat Kohli loves it and so does Bumrah. India finish with 358/9 after 50 overs.

Jasprit Bumrah is the last man in for India.

49.5 W

Pat Cummins to Yuzvendra Chahal. OUT! Five wickets for Pat Cummins. What an effort. Length ball over the stumps, Chahal stays inside and looks to block it with a straight bat. The ball lobs to Cummins who dives low and takes the catch. The umpire takes it up but the catch was clean as a whistle. Chahal walks back for nought.

Has Cummins got his 5th? The umpires have gone upstairs to check if the catch is clean. THE SOFT SIGNAL IS NOT OUT THIS TIME!

49.4 1

Pat Cummins to Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep guides this past point to give his spin twin the strike.

Yuzvendra Chahal is the next batsman.

49.3 W

Pat Cummins to Vijay Shankar. OUT! Another one bites the dust. Shankar is the man to depart but has played a handy cameo. Gives room to his length ball and looks to loft another one. Ends up dragging it towards mid-wicket where Maxwell settles under it and makes no mistake.

48.6 W

Jhye Richardson to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. OUT! A very good catch that! However, the idea was right from Kumar but it did not come off. He expected the short ball from Richardson and was already on the back foot. He gets it and then tries to upper cut but hits it too close to the keeper. Carey stretches his right hand upwards and the ball sticks. Jhye ends with a wicket but he has been very expensive today. Gives away 13 in the penultimate over and his figures read 9-0-85-3.

47.6 W

Pat Cummins to Kedar Jadhav. OUT! In the process of getting big runs, Kedar Jadhav too holes out. Length ball on off, Jadhav shuffles across and looks to flick it off his pads.

He looks to clear mid on but it goes off the inner half and it just about carries to Finch there. They check for the no ball but Cummins is fine. End of Pant's cameo. India though would have liked for him to stay out longer.

45.2 0

Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant. The slower ball on off, Pant does not get the desired timing as he hits it to mid on.

45.1 1

Adam Zampa to Kedar Jadhav. A single to end a good over for India. Jadhav strokes it down to long on for a run. 12 from Zampa's last and he finishes with figures of 10-0-57-1. Quite decent when the opposition is going at more than 6 per over.

44.5 1

Adam Zampa to Rishabh Pant. This is bowled wide outside off, Pant slaps it down to long off for a run. Smart bowling, Zampa fires it wide looking to stay away from Pant's zone.

42.6 W

Adam Zampa to Lokesh Rahul. OUT! And it has got even better as Zampa strikes on the last ball. Australia continue to pick wickets at regular intervals here. The slider outside off, Rahul goes back and looks to be cheeky. He tries to guide it late through short third man but gets a feather on it to Carey. He takes it and appeals. Rahul holds his ground but the umpire raises his finger. Rahul fails to make use of the excellent batting surface here as he falls after getting a start. He is very disappointed with himself and rightly so.

40.6 4

Glenn Maxwell to Lokesh Rahul. FOUR! A dangerous shot from Rahul but gets the desired result. Fuller on middle, Rahul premeditates his sweep and connects it towards the fine leg region for a boundary. Had he missed that he would have been plumb in front.

Rishabh Pant walks in at number 5. Replaces his skipper out in the middle.

39.4 W

Jhye Richardson to Virat Kohli. OUT! That has carried! Stunned silence here as Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper, does not contribute a lot. Two wickets in quick succession for Australia. That is the only way they can stem the run flow here. Jhye gets his first as he bowls it full and very wide outside off. Kohli reaches out for it but it seems to have taken the edge and goes low towards Carey who takes it and appeals. The umpire is not sure so he walks to the square leg umpire. They both have a chat and then take it upstairs. The SOFT SIGNAL IS OUT! Replays confirm that it is a legal catch.

Have Australia got another? They have gone upstairs to check if the ball has carried to the keeper or not. The SOFT SIGNAL IS OUT!

Jason Behrendorff to Virat Kohli. FOUR! A very unusual shot this from Kohli. He continues from where he left off in the last innings.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli walks in at number 4 to a huge cheer from the crowd.

37.4 W

Pat Cummins to Shikhar Dhawan. OUT! TIMBER! The change of angle does the trick for Cummins. Dhawan who was looking to hit everything, departs in an attempt to do so again. Pat from around the wicket angles it into the middle pole. Dhawan swings across the line but the length was not quite the one to hit. He misses and it hits the top of middle. He walks back to a standing ovation and deserves every bit of it.

37.4 wd

Pat Cummins to Shikhar Dhawan. Down the leg side, Dhawan swings but misses. It has been wided.

37.3 0

Pat Cummins to Shikhar Dhawan. On the body and it is shorter in length. Dhawan looks to pull but it goes off his glove. Carey behind makes a good stop diving to his right.

37.2 4

Pat Cummins to Shikhar Dhawan. FOUR! Hammered! Just where can you bowl to this guy at the moment? Short, he will hit you, full, he will hit you. Cummins tries length and he is smashed through extra cover for a boundary. 250 up for India.

37.1 1

Pat Cummins to Lokesh Rahul. Length ball on off, Rahul once again does the smart thing as he gives the strike to Dhawan by pushing it through covers.

End of Over : 37 15 Runs IND: 248/1
36.6 4

Jason Behrendorff to Shikhar Dhawan. FOUR! 15 from the over! Dhawan is playing a different game. Stays on middle and whips this over the inner mid-wicket ring for a boundary. The fielder gets to the ball but couldn't manage to keep it out. Behrendorff finishes with the figures of 10-1-61-0.

36.5 6

Jason Behrendorff to Shikhar Dhawan. SIX! He is batting the way he wants. Makes room, gets low and slaps this uppishly over the bowler's head for half a dozen.

36.4 4

Jason Behrendorff to Shikhar Dhawan. FOUR! That's the reason you give him the strike. He is in the mood today. Overpitched on middle, Dhawan uses his bottom hand and flicks this uppishly through mid-wicket. Reminded many of Jayasuriya here in the cubical.

36.3 1

Jason Behrendorff to Lokesh Rahul. That's better. Gives the strike to the man in form. Guides it to third man and changes end.

36.2 0

35.1 1

Pat Cummins to Lokesh Rahul. Back of a length on middle, Rahul works it across the line and gets to the other end.

Drinks - India are on top here. But Australia would be happy that they have at least got rid of Rohit Sharma. Shikhar Dhawan though is looking dangerous and he is joined by KL Rahul out in the middle. India will hope these two can build another solid partnership, whereas, Australia will look to pick up quick wickets, which they have to if they want to restrict India under 320. Also, Pat Cummins to bowl after the Drinks break.

End of Over : 35 13 Runs IND: 222/1

34.3 6

30.6 W

Jhye Richardson to Rohit Sharma. OUT! In the air... taken! Rohit Sharma departs in the nervous 90s and Australia will be relieved that they got a wicket at last. End of a mammoth 193-run stand. The short ball does the trick. It is on middle and Rohit goes for the pull. He hits it nicely but hits it flat and straight to the fielder at deep square leg, Handscomb there takes it nicely. Rohit is disappointed as he punches his bat in disgust. Nevertheless, a very good innings by him comes to an end. Deserved a ton but his partnership with Dhawan has laid the foundation for a big score here. Can India capitalize or will Australia now crawl back?

30.5 4

End of Over : 30 11 Runs IND: 182/0
29.6 4

Aaron Finch to Rohit Sharma. FOUR! Poor ball and it has been put away! This time he pulls it away from the short fine leg fielder. Too far for Marsh to make an effort and the over ends with a boundary. Also, this probably will be Finch's last over.

29.5 2

Aaron Finch to Rohit Sharma. Rohit gets down on one knee, keeps his eyes on the ball and hits it through square leg for a couple. He had to put bat on ball there or he would have been a goner.

Hello and welcome to the crucial 4th ODI of this 5-match ODI series between India and Australia. The visitors showed promise in the first 2 ODIs and were finally able to get over the line in the 3rd one. One would feel the momentum is with the Aussies but this Indian side has shown it in the past that they bounce back stronger when they are down. The Men in Blue will like to prove that the loss in the 3rd ODI was just a hiccup and nothing more. The Kangaroos will look to draw the series level here in Mohali, whereas India will look to wrap it up. An exciting clash awaits us. Stay tuned for further updates...

End of Over : 47.5 AUS: 359/6

That is it from this nail-biter of a contest. We now move to Delhi for the fifth and final ODI of this 5-match series with both teams level. The decider will be played on Wednesday, 13th March. That game will begin at 1330 local (0800 GMT). Join us for that one. Till then, cheers!

Man of the Match, Ashton Turner, says he is lost for words. Admits he was not expecting to play till the time he came to the ground but Stoinis' injury provided him with the opportunity. Further adds he was mentally ready to play whenever he had a chance to and wanted to make most of it. On the life he got, he said he was lucky enough and he wanted to make most of it. Praises Hayden for the advice he gave him which helped him play spin better. Giggles and says he tries to watch the ball till the end when playing spin.

Australian skipper, Aaron Finch, says that the partnership between Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb was important as they took it deep. On the run chase, he opines that he wanted the players to hang in there. On the World Cup, he says that it is all about the boys making the most of it and taking their chances. Credits Turner as it was just his second game. Adds saying he took on the two best bowlers and him them clean.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says the wicket remained good and feels that the dew made it even difficult. States that bowling in the end was not easy. Credits, Turner, Khawaja and Handscomb for their innings. On why he opted to bat first, Kohli says that the wicket was good to bat on and the dew was expected in the last game also but didn't come and hence, he thought, it would not play a part in this game as well. On why he introduced Chahal so late in the game. Virat explains they had to bowl the 5th bowler out and he backed Chahal to bowl with the dew. Admits that they were sloppy in the field and they should have taken their opportunities. Reckons they let the opportunity and the game slip away from them. Feels that the last game would be a cracker and says they will need to be at their best if they want to win the series.

Murali Kartik is down with centurion, Peter Handscomb. On his maiden ODI century, Handscomb says that it is a lovely feeling. Admits they (him and Khawaja) did not talk much out in the middle and just played their own game. Explains that once the dew came on, he felt like there was no spin and they just played their natural game. Credits Maxwell for his innings. Praises Turner and says he is an amazing player and the innings he played here in just his second ODI was completely special.

Earlier in the day, the Indians elected to bat after winning the toss and posted a massive score courtesy Dhawan's ton and Rohit's 95. However, a ton from Handscomb, a 91 from Khawaja and an 84 from Turner turned the game on its head and they ensured the series is leveled.

The Indians started off in the best possible manner with the ball. Kumar and Bumrah got a couple of early wickets and also kept it nice and tight. However, once the dew set in, it kept getting tough for them. The spinners struggled to grip the ball and there were too many poor balls bowled. As the game progressed the pressure started showing on the Indian fielders too. Especially Pant, as he missed a stumping chance before Turner passed his half ton. Also, a couple of dropped catches, one by Jadhav and the other by Dhawan did not help their cause. Towards the end, the pacers also struggled to hit the right lines and lengths with the wet ball and hence, the hosts ended up on the losing side.

All the credit has to be given to the newbies! Usman Khawaja, who is only 25 ODIs old. Peter Handscomb, who has only 15 ODIs under his belt and Turner, probably Australia's new finisher has played a gem of a knock in his second one-day international game. It was Khawaja and Handscomb to start with. The two played themselves in, steadied the ship but always moved along at a good rate. The two added a massive 192-run stand with the former missing out on a ton and the latter scoring one. The two brought the Aussies back into the game and set the platform for the big hitters like Maxwell and Turner to do their bit. The Big Show failed but Ashton proved his mettle. A 43-ball 84 by him. He ensured he stayed there till the end and was well-supported by Carey as the two blasted an 86-run stand. The wicket-keeper got dismissed but Turner ensured he took them over the finishing line.

WE HAVE A DECIDER! What a game and what a chase this is! Who would have thought at 12 for 2 with the Aussie skipper, Finch and Australia's best batsman in ODIs in the last year or so, Marsh, back in the hut, the Aussies, let alone win it but would even come close. If you did so, you should buy yourself a lottery ticket.

47.5 2

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashton Turner. That is the victory. What a great win for the Aussies! Turner hits this towards mid on and comes back for the second. The throw was at the striker's end but Ashton made it in time. They celebrate and so does the Aussie camp. They get in a group huddle and sink in the victory. AUSTRALIA BEAT INDIA BY 4 WICKETS.

Jhye Richardson is the new batsman. He might not even face a ball though

47.4 W

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. OUT! Carey falls! Won't make a difference though. Length ball on the leg side. Carey checks his shot and the ball lobs up towards Dhawan at mid-wicket who takes a dolly. A match-winning partnership comes to an end.

47.3 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashton Turner. Back of a length over the stumps, Turner gets bat to ball guides it to third man for one. Just 2 required.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Alex Carey. FOUR! Runs needed into single digits now! Down the leg side, Carey flicks it past square leg inside the ring and a boundary results.

46.4 1

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ashton Turner. In the air... and dropped again! One has to believe, it is Turner's night today. A low full toss outside off, Turner looks to go over mid off but does not get the desired timing. It goes straight to Dhawan there who spills it. After the last boundary though, I do not think, this catch would have made a difference had it been taken.

46.3 4

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ashton Turner. FOUR! Adding salt to the wound here. Dropped on the last ball and a boundary on this one. Short and this time Turner gets his pull squarer. No one in the deep and a boundary.

46.2 2

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ashton Turner. DROPPED! Kedar Jadhav has probably dropped the match! It is the slower short ball on middle, Turner goes back and looks to pull. It goes off the toe-end towards deep mid-wicket. Jadhav there may have misjudged it as he looks to take it with a dive forward in the end. He though spills it. Two taken. Had that catch been taken, India would have been into the bowlers.

46.1 6

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ashton Turner. SIX! Power, all power there. Full and on middle, Turner shuffles across and then lifts it over the long on fence.

45.5 6

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashton Turner. SIX! What a shot this is! This lad has played an innings of a lifetime. At the very end, he just shuffles across and then paddles it over short fine leg. The contact is such that the ball carries all the way for a biggie.

45.4 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Lovely delivery! A yorker right on the pads. Carey fails to jam it out. It hits his pads and rolls towards point. The batsmen take a leg bye.

45.3 4

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. FOUR! 8 from the 3 balls! Even the ever reliable Bumrah is going for runs here. Carey once again makes room and hits it through point. It races away to the fence.

45.2 2

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Another couple! This is brilliant batting! Also that is the 50-run stand and it has come up only in 28 balls. It has turned the game into Australia's favour but they need to continue as there is not a lot of batting left after this. Once again this is clever batting. Carey makes room and then pushes it through covers. The weight on the shot is perfect and the batsmen pick up two.

45.1 2

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Outstanding running this! Carey makes room and then pushes it through covers. They take one and then seeing the fielder get to the ball slowly go for the second and complete it.

End of Over : 44 10 Runs AUS: 297/5
43.6 0

Yuzvendra Chahal to Alex Carey. A dot to end but another expensive over as 10 comes from it. Carey goes for the sweep but misses to get hit on the body. Chahal is done for the night, not a spell worth remembering as he goes for 80 in his 10 and only has one scalp to his name. 62 in the last 6.

43.5 2

Yuzvendra Chahal to Alex Carey. Nice drive through the cover region for a couple.

43.4 1

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashton Turner. Makes room again and looks to hit it through the off side but gets it off the inner half towards mid-wicket for a run.

43.4 wd

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashton Turner. NOT OUT! The batsman has his feet grounded and there is no edge too. Both the teams have now do have a review left. Turner moves away and Chahal fires it outside off. Turner swings but seems to have missed it. Pant collects it and whips the bails off. He is also appealing for the catch. First the square leg umpire takes it upstairs but then Pant wants it to be reviewed for a caught behind. Kohli does so. Replays roll in and they first show that Turner's back foot is in. Ultra Edge later on does show some spike but that is even before the ball passes the bat. Also, there is day light between bat and ball and hence, it is ruled in the favor of the batsman. It is also a wide.

Rishabh Pant has taken the bails off. The umpire takes it up to the TV umpire. Also, Pant suggests the umpire that Turner might have got a nick to this. The umpires will check the stumping first and then the outside edge.

43.3 1

Yuzvendra Chahal to Alex Carey. Now Pant concedes an extra run here! A yorker on middle, Carey jams it out beside the pitch. Pant gets to the ball and backhands a needless shy at the striker's end but misses. The batsmen run an overthrow. Every run here can prove costly and India can't give away such easy runs.

43.2 1

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashton Turner. Makes room and looks to hit it down the ground. It goes off the inner half towards mid-wicket for a single.

43.1 2

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashton Turner. Smart batting! With soft hands works it towards mid-wicket. By the time the fielder comes in, the batsmen run two. 4 from one ball in this over.

43.1 wd

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashton Turner. WIDE! Tries another one. This time Turner keeps his foot grounded. Two extras to begin with.

43.1 wd

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashton Turner. A chance goes down! This one was an easy stumping chance for Pant. Pressure getting to him maybe. Chahal bowls it down the leg side. Turner looks to flick but misses. He loses his balance in doing so and is outside the crease. Pant fails to collect the ball and Turner gets back in. This could prove very costly.

End of Over : 43 6 Runs AUS: 287/5

41.1 W

Yuzvendra Chahal to Peter Handscomb. OUT! Chahal strikes on his very first ball of his new spell. The centurion departs and now 359 looks farfetched. Clever bowling here. Chahal sees Handscomb coming down the track so bowls it wide outside off. Peter aims for the shorter boundary which is the straight boundaries. He though gets it off the toe-end. It lobs towards long off where Rahul runs in and takes it. A brilliant innings by Handscomb comes to an end, he has given his side hope here. 88 more needed in 53 with 5 wickets in hand.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Peter Handscomb. 100 for Peter Handscomb. His maiden ODI ton and what a time to get it. Australia were down and out after losing two quick wickets but he has stepped up to the occasion here in a must-win game. The job though is still not done and he would know that. He however, gets there in the most unconvincing manner. He won't care though. A short ball on the body, it may have taken the inside edge, then onto his body and towards point. The batsmen cross ends. Handscomb then is looking at the umpire, no signal from him. He then takes his helmet off and soaks in the applause from the dressing room.

Bumrah has provided it. How often has this guy stepped up to the plate when his team needed him? Bumrah is just too good. The short ball does the trick for him. It skids off the surface. Khawaja goes for the pull but does not get on top of the bounce. It takes the top edge and lobs towards fine leg. Kuldeep there runs in and takes a tumbling catch. Khawaja walks back 9 short of a ton but his partnership with Handscomb has brought the Aussies back into the game. 155 more needed.

End of Over : 33 19 Runs AUS: 204/2

Inswinging full ball pitching on middle, Finch looks to play it across the line but it goes straight between his bat and pad. It hits the leg pole and Finch walks back for a duck. India strike early. Not the kind of start Australia would have wanted. For the fourth time Bhuvneshwar gets the better of Finch. He struggled in the ODIs in Australia and got out to him thrice. Kumar's first match in this series and he takes Finch out in the very first over. Just when it looked like the Aussie skipper had got back in form, he fails to add to it this time.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Aaron Finch. Bhuvneshwar starts with a perfect inswinging ball on length. Finch looks to flick but misses like he has on so many previous occasion against him. There is a stifled appeal which is turned down by the umpire. The ball goes towards third man and a single is stolen.

We are back for the chase! The Australian openers, Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja make their way out to the middle. They need to provide a good start here. The right-hander will be on strike and he will be facing Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has the first new ball in hand. Just a slip in place. Here we go...
