India vs Australia | Twitter Erupts after Dhoni & Jadhav Seal Historic ODI Series Win

MS Dhoni struck his third fifty in the series and along with Kedar Jadhav took India home by seven wickets after Chahal’s 6-for to help India win the series 2-1, finishing the tour on a high in Melbourne on Friday (January 18).

Wonderful calm, composed innings from Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav playing a very important hand. So India do the double, win the test and the one-day series as well. This has been a very fruitful Australia tour for Team India .

Super successful test series and India addressing all the concerns in the ODI side in style. Chahal and Kedar granbing their chances in style, Bhuvi back at his best, Shami impressive and most importantly Dhoni answering with the bat in style

I have seen Dhoni do this regularly. A great entertainer who knows how to get the job done. #AUSvIND — Lisa Sthalekar (@sthalekar93) January 18, 2019

MS Dhoni should be used as a floater — primarily at No.4. He has been brilliant but what has been even more impressive is the fact that Karthik (at Adelaide) & Jadhav (at MCG) made telling contributions. That was one of the biggest takeaways from the ODI series#AUSvIND

Earlier, India opted to field and Bhuvneshwar Kumar provided them with an ideal start getting rid of both the openers in no time.

Aaron Finch in this ODI series 1st ODI: b Bhuvi 2nd ODI: b Bhuvi 3rd ODI: lbw b Bhuvi Remember in IPL 2016 when Finch had scored 3 50s on the trot and faced SRH,Bhuvneshwar Kumar got Finch in the 1st over for 0 with an inswinger. All the dismissals similar to 2016#AUSvIND — Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) January 18, 2019

Shaun Marsh and Usman Khawaja had another 50-run stand before the former was stumped of the bowling of Yuzvendra Chahal.

One off a wide and one a soft dismissal, Chahal is definitely enjoying his return to the team. Both set batsmen gone. #AUSvIND

— Omkar Mankame (@Oam_16) January 18, 2019

Dream start for Chahal. Removes both the well set batsmen within an over #AUSvIND

Glenn Maxwell came in and played his shots before getting bounced out by Mohammed Shami, thanks to a really good catch at fine leg by Kumar.

Maxwell wants to play Test cricket with that technique against the short ball? — Saurabh Malhotra (@MalhotraSaurabh) January 18, 2019

Best catch of the day. Bhuvi at it again. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/slh0CWr6Pu — Aditya (@forwardshortleg) January 18, 2019

That's the ninth time Glenn Maxwell has been dismissed playing the pull shot in ODIs - he averages 26.88 with the shot. #AUSvIND

Chahal finished with figure of 6/42 to prove his prowess in the ODI format, especially in the absence of Kuldeep Yadav who was rested.

Wah ji @yuzi_chahal , Chahalka macha rakha hai . 6 wicket , Shaabash — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) January 18, 2019

Great effort from the Indian bowlers to bowl out Australia for 230. @yuzi_chahal was outstanding to pick up 6 wickets. Now for our batsman to chase this and win the one day series as well.

— VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281) January 18, 2019

so is chahal going to interview himself on chahal TV tonight? #AUSvIND

Whatta six-essful spell Chahal! Brilliant stuff! #AUSvIND @yuzi_chahal — Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) January 18, 2019

India lost their openers early in the chase and Virat Kohli had to put his head down and grind it out.

Dhawan always looked like he was going to get out softly. An uncomfortable stay at the crease to say the least. A big one from Da One is so due now. #AUSvIND — Manya (@CSKian716) January 18, 2019

MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli had their fair share of luck during their 50-run stand before Jhye Richardson dismissed the Indian captain yet again.

Dhoni and Kohli's running might cause a heart attack to someone.

— Saurabh Malhotra (@MalhotraSaurabh) January 18, 2019

Virat Kohli looked frustrated since last couple of overs. Beautiful bowling by Richardson. Deserved that wicket #AUSvIND — Saurabh (@imsgshinde) January 18, 2019

Well planned wicket of Virat by Aussie team,Stoping his single on thirdman by putting flying slip in place and bowling the line outside off stump #AUSvsIND — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) January 18, 2019

MS Dhoni who was dropped on 0 by Glenn Maxwell, made them pay by registering his third fifty in the series and showed how important he was to the team’s cause.

Three games three fifties for MS Dhoni — his 70th in ODIs.
Has been one of the strongest pillars of the Indian batting in ODIs for the past 14 years, and continues to be.
Yet undergoes immense scrutiny for his approach, almost always, these days#AUSvIND

— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) January 18, 2019

The last time #Dhoni made three successive half-centuries in ODIs was exactly five years ago in New Zealand (Jan 2014).

Then he made 56, 50 and 79*. His strike rates were 127.27, 83.33 and 108.21. This series his strike rates are 53.12, 101.85 and 68.8* (at 53 off 77)#AUSvIND

The moment you doubt Dhoni's skills and integrity, he humbles you with an act of breathking brilliance... What a man, what a legend. #AUSvIND @msdhoni — Navneet Mundhra (@navneet_mundhra) January 18, 2019

You thought he was a spent force, a burden on team and now should retire. Here is MS Dhoni even at 37 telling you how to chase at MCG by scoring 72% of his 87 runs by running. Batted 114 balls - his second longest resolve in a successful chase. #AusvInd — Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) January 18, 2019

World Cup 2011 for Sachin
World Cup 2019 for Dhoni

Kedar Jadhav who made a comeback to the ODI side, struck a fine half-century and along with MS, took India home to a special victory.

Doesn’t hit those massive sixes but rotates the strike well,knows his boundary areas that’s the reason his strike rate is always close to 100. Top inning that by @JadhavKedar #AUSvSL — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) January 18, 2019
