India Bounced Back After Test Whitewash

From the beginning of the series, India played with dominance and demonstrated better composure in each match compared with the Test match. India claimed a 17-run win in Ranchi, posted 358 in Raipur, but could not defend it and entered the 3rd ODI with the series levelled at 1-1. The deciding match today saw a dominant 9-wicket win again, driven by the efforts of Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal's century, and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 65.
