India outplayed Australia with both bat and ball to clinch the three-match ODI series 2-0 after winning the second match by 99 runs through the Duckworth-Lew-Lew–Lewis–Stern (DLS) method at the Holkar Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Australia were bundled out at 217 in 28.2 overs. Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin took three-wicket each. Prasidh Krishna picked up two scalps while Mohammed Shami got one wicket.
In the 44th over of the innings as India was looking to end things on a massive score, Surya upped the ante smashing a helpless Green for four successive sixes. These shots went all over the ground, with the first going towards deep backwards square leg, the second towards fine leg region

Put to bat first by Australia, India lost Ruturaj Gaikwad (8) to Josh Hazlewood after he was caught behind by Alex Carey. India was 16/1 in 3.4 overs. But from then, a carnage followed.
The inauguration was done before the second ODI between India and Australia. India stand-in captain KL Rahul and other MPCA dignitaries were present at the inauguration.
He will be back for the third ODI in Rajkot, which will take place on September 27. In the meanwhile, Mukesh Kumar has joined the team as Bumrah's replacement for the second ODI. Mukesh has played three ODIs for Team India, taking four wickets with the best figures of 3/30.
EAM also met with his Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong and noted the positive trajectory of ties with Australia and discussed specific measures that need to be made to take the relations further.
