India vs Australia 4th ODI: Virat Kohli-led unit’s dream run halts in Bengaluru
Australia ended India's one-day international winning streak at nine after taking the fourth match of their series by 21 runs. India had never won 10 successive ODIs - by comparison Australia has done it six times - and its bid was only just thwarted. Australia made 334/5, courtesy to David Warner's 14th ODI century in his 100th ODI game.
Australian captain Steven Smith was relieved at finally getting a win on the tour.
