The Indian cricket team ended their tour to Australia on a high note as they recorded a seven-wicket win over the Aaron Finch-led side in the third and final ODI to seal the three-match series 2-1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. 


Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal played a key role in the victory, recording the best bowling figures by a spinner in an ODI clash in Australia.  He bagged six wickets while conceding just 42 runs at the MCG.


MS Dhoni, who was declared Man of the Series, stepped up with a quality knock yet again as he scored 87 runs off 114 deliveries to help India cross the target of 231 runs with four balls to spare. 


With the win, India have finished the current 2018-19 tour without having lost a series. The Men in Blue ended the three-match T20I series against Australia in a 1-1 draw before the visitors clinched their first-ever Test series win in Australia.
