As team India beat Australia by five-wickets in the third ODI on Sunday, Kohli equalled MS Dhoni’s record for most number of consecutive ODI wins as captain. With, Kohli-led India team is 3-0 up in the five-match ODI series, he took his ODI win tally without losing a match to nine, the feat which Dhoni achieved in 2008-09.
Under Kohli’s captaincy, India have played 38 ODIs — winning 30 of those games.
A clinical performance by the Indian team helped them clinch the five-match ODI series 3-0 against Australia. India restricted Australia to 293/6 after a superb comeback by the bowlers in the death overs. In reply, India opener Rohit Sharma (71) and Ajinkya Rahane (70) gave hosts a solid start in run-chase as they stitched together a 100 plus-run partnership. Australia, however, fought back with couple of quick wickets but Hardik Pandya (78), who was promoted to No.4 position, had other plans as he powered the team to a five-wicket victory.
