On a hot day at a typically high-scoring venue, India, without captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Virat Kohli, hit 18 sixes (their second-highest ODI total) to propel the hosts to their third-highest ODI innings against Australia. Jasprit Bumrah was given a short home break by the team management, but he wasn’t required in what was one of the most clinical performances in recent years.

What failed at Mohali due to a run out due to a lapse in concentration blossomed into a 200-run partnership for the second wicket between Gill and Iyer off only 164 deliveries, setting India up for a mammoth score. Suryakumar smashed 72 runs unbeaten off 37 deliveries, and Rahul, the stand-in captain, scored 52 runs off 38 balls to heap misery on Australia.

Gill, who scored 74 off 63 deliveries in Mohali, reached his fifth ODI century of the year with 104, which included six fours and four sixes. It was also Gill’s second consecutive century at Indore; earlier this year, he scored 112 off 78 deliveries against New Zealand. Early on, Gill had nine runs off 19 deliveries, but he and Iyer quickly added 50 runs off 29 balls. Once the field was dispersed, they had no trouble rotating the strike and consolidating India’s 158-run start in the first 20 overs.

Iyer scored his third ODI century in the 30th over before being caught at deep midwicket in the following over. Gill was dismissed in the 35th over, but India’s run rate did not decrease due to Ishan Kishan’s aggressive strokes around the wicket.

Suryakumar Yadav started off a bit sluggishly, but he soon began slamming boundaries all around the pitch, completely unsettling an already rudderless Australian bowling attack that was missing Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis. Rahul was also in his element, dismissing Sean Abbott for 17 runs in the 47th over en route to his second fifty of the series off only 24 deliveries. India scored 103 runs during the last ten overs.

Wednesday’s final ODI will be contested in Rajkot.

With his 6 wickets against Australia, Ashwin passed Kumble’s 111 scalps to become India’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy wicket-taker with 113. Ashwin also broke another record that Kumble had held: he became the bowler in India with the most five-wicket hauls.

Not only that, but Ashwin’s performance put him on the same number of wickets as Nathan Lyon for the whole series.

Kumble praised the veteran spinner by tweeting, “Well Bowled Ashwin, Class.”

Well Bowled @ashwinravi99 Class ! 👏👍🏽

Ashwin said this about his play at the end of the second day: “No one spell is better than the other. And at different points in this series, like when we were in Delhi, I thought, “The numbers don’t give you a 5 or 6, but the ball is coming out beautifully.”

“…and the changes I’ve made, like loading and cocking my wrists, have shown that my spells are much more powerful,” he said.

Ashwin hasn’t found it easy to bowl on the Ahmedabad pitch, as spinners haven’t been able to get much traction on the first two days. Ashwin said that he beat the batters by using the “scrambled seam.”

“It wasn’t a good pitch, so I had to use the scrambled seam, the drift, and whatever else was there.”

India is presently in second place in the standings, behind Australia. Going into the first Test, India had a win percentage of 58.93, which put them in second place. India now has a victory percentage of 61.67, while Australia’s win percentage fell from 75.56 percent to 70.83 percent during the course of the WTC tournament. Australia needed a draw to secure their spot in the WTC final.

In order to secure their spot in the next WTC cycle, India, who finished in second place in the previous WTC cycle, must win at least two of the remaining three matches in the Border-Gavaskar series.
There is a remote possibility that Sri Lanka and South Africa, who are now ranked third and fourth, respectively, may make it to the WTC final.

In a two-game Test series against New Zealand, Sri Lanka, which has a win percentage of 53.33, will compete.
