Chandigarh: On a high after a sensational performance in Jaipur, a supremely confident India will look to keep the momentum going with another dominating display when they take on a shell-shocked Australian team in the third cricket ODI on Saturday.
Having made a mockery of the second highest run-chase in the history of limited overs cricket, the Indian team would not like to settle for anything less than an overwhelming win at the PCA Stadium on Saturday.
As for George Bailey and his bunch of committed warriors, the quicker they get over the disappointment of that defeat, better it will be as this Indian team under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's stewardship can decisively seize the momentum from the visitors
To chase a target of 360 inside 44 overs requires a Herculean effort, and the batting trio of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have now proved that no target in the world is safe when they come out all guns blazing at the opposition.
Dhawan's 95 in Jaipur was all about brute power and taking the opponents by the scruff of their neck. Rohit's 141 had the silken grace that has always been associated with this wristy Mumbaikar.
Kohli's innings was all intimidation as he showed that why he is turning out to be one of the premier batsmen in limited overs format.
His 52-ball-100 had everything. Skill, power, artistry all of which goes into the making of a brilliant cricketer.
With India's top-three raising the bar, the likes of Suresh Raina and veterans Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh will also be itching to perform and make their share of substantial contribution.
The only worrying factor for Team India is its bowling which has conceded a whopping 864 runs in 120 overs so far (T20 match included) at a pathetic economy rate of 7.20 overs. Most senior Ishant has invariably struggled to keep runs down in the death overs in ODIs.
On otherhand, for Australia -- Aaron Finch and George Bailey have been in terrific form while Phil Hughes has been able to put behind his poor show in the Test series earlier this year with a lot of grit and application.
Shane Watson has also made his share of contribution with the bat and the talented Glenn Maxwell has x-factor to change things around quickly.
The Aussie bowlers would have never have imagined the thrashing they would get after having bowled some really fast stuff in the first one dayer at Pune.
Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson were taken to the task by the Indian openers while none of the visiting team bowlers could escape the fury of Kohli's long blade.
