India

India, meanwhile, is on the verge of their first whitewash against Australia under Shubman Gill's ODI captaincy tenure. India had a better outing in batting than Perth, but still, they failed to defend a challenging total of 265 runs at Adelaide Oval.

Axar Patel also contributed well with his batting. India desperately needs some fresh change to their starting XI after opting to go with the same team in the first two ODIs.
