Watch: MS Dhoni bamboozles batsmen with his spin
Mahendra Singh Dhoni rolled over his arms for some spin bowling during India's practice session ahead of the third ODI in Indore.
Even after demolishing Australia in the first two one day internationals of the five-match series, India cricket was seen sweating it out in the practice session in Indore on Saturday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is in top form at the moment, joined the likes of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel at the nets and rolled over his arms for some spin bowling.
Packed with an incisive bowling attack, a confident India would look to pile on the misery for a struggling Australia and seal the five-match series when they clash in the third ODI on Sunday.
It was no small task for Virat Kohli and his men to defend a modest 252 on the Eden Garden wicket, which despite being a two-paced track favoured the batsmen.
The hosts have their bowling combination working superbly for them. The swing master Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have made the Australian top-order look ordinary while the wrist spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal has made the visitors dance to their tunes.
Australia's plight could easily be gauged from the fact that eight of their batsmen could not touch double-digit scores in Chennai, while only four of them could score more than 10 runs in Kolkata.
India have surely taken a giant step for yet another series win, but the team has allowed the Australian to create a few openings that could have proved detrimental if there were not some rescue acts.
If the top order floundered in the series-opener, the middle order squirmed in Kolkata, where the bowlers won the match for the hosts.
Kedar Jadhav and Manish Pandey have not made any contribution in the team's cause so far and to keep their places they have to do something worthwhile. (Pandey, Jadhav quality players: Rahane)
The selectors have named the squad only for the first three ODIs so it's time that Pandey, who had a decent run during India A's tour of South Africa, and Jadhav come up with something special.
