Bengaluru, Sep 28: The Indian juggernaut of consecutive wins finally came to a halt with visitors Australia holding on to their nerves and executing their plans to perfection during the death overs to win the fourth ODI by 21 runs, here on Thursday.

India's winning streak of nine matches on the trot was finally broken as the Australians outclassed the Virat Kohli and company in the inconsequential tie. It was the first win for the Aussies after losing eleven games, away from home.

Chasing a stiff target of 335, India were off to a fabulous start but a couple of bad moves in the middle overs coupled by a fantastic display of pace bowling resulted in their defeat.

Kohli, who has never managed to entertain the audiences at M Chinnaswamy with his individual batting effort, had a forgettable outing again and was forced to swallow the bitter pill of defeat after winning nine games in a row. India still lead the five games series 3-1, with one more game to go at Nagpur.

Here are the highlights and key stats from the match:

# After losing their last eleven result-oriented matches away from home, Australia have won their first ODI.

# Australia (334/5) have posted their second highest total against India in ODIs at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore next only to the 347 for two on November 12, 2003.

# Overall, Australia have recorded four totals of 300-plus in ODIs at this venue.

# Warner (124 off 119 balls) struck his 14th ODI hundred in his milestone 100th ODI match. He was adjudged the man of the match.

# Warner became the first Australian player and the eighth overall to record a century in his 100th ODI. The first seven batsmen being Gordon Greenidge, Chris Cairns, Yousuf Youhana, Kumar Sangakkara, Chris Gayle, Marcus Trescothick & Ramnaresh Sarwan.

# Only two batsmen have managed more runs than Warner in their 100th ODI - 132 not out by West Indian Chris Gayle vs England at Lord's on July 6, 2004 and 129 by Pakistan's Yousuf Youhana vs Sri Lanka at Sharjah on April 17, 2002.

# Warner has posted ten hundreds in a winning cause in ODIs - his tally being 2,915 runs at an average of 53.98 in 57 matches.

# Both Warner's run-aggregate (2678 at an average of 59.51 in 50 matches) and the centuries (12) are the highest in ODIs since 2015.

# He added 231 for the opening stand with in-form Aaron Finch (94). Warner hit 12 boundaries and four sixes.

# Finch hit 10 boundaries and three sixes off 96 balls but missed out on a well-deserved hundred.

# Kedar Jadhav (1/38 in 7 overs) did his bit to put brakes on the scoring after the openers raised visions of a mammoth total.

# Peter Handscomb's 43 off 30 balls and Marcus Stoinis' cameo (15 no off 9 balls) enabled them to cross the 330-run mark.

# A fluent approach by both Warner and Finch provided Australia a record first wicket partnership of 231 off 201 balls, beating the previous record of 212 scripted by Geoff Marsh and David Boon against India in Jaipur in 1986.

# Their partnership was also the highest at Bengaluru, beating the previous best of 183 scored by Brad Haddin and Shane Watson against Canada in a 2011 World Cup match.

# Team India's 313 for eight is their third-highest losing total against Australia in ODIs - the highest being 347 at Hyderabad on November 5, 2009.

# Umesh Yadav (4/71) has registered his best bowling figures vs Australia in ODIs, eclipsing the 4 for 72 at Sydney on March 26, 2015.

# Umesh has completed his 100 wickets in ODIs - his aggregate being 102 at 32.25 runs apiece in 71 matches.

# Umesh became the 8th Indian fast bowler to complete 100 wickets or more in ODIs. He has joined Javagal Srinath (315), Ajit Agarkar (288), Kapil Dev (253), Venkatesh Prasad (196), Manoj Prabhakar (157), Ishant Sharma (115) and Sourav Ganguly (100).

# Kohli reached yet milestone as he became fastest to complete 2000* ODI runs as captain (36 innings). AB de Villiers took 43 innings to reach this milestone.

# Miscommunication between Kohli and Rohit Sharma cost the opener his wicket on 65. There have been several instances when the duo have paid the price for miscommunication.

# Kohli (21) was dismissed by Nathan Coulter-Nile third time in this series. It was the right move by skipper Steve Smith to introduce the pacer and it paid off immediately.

# Rohit Sharma has posted 53 sixes in 27 innings vs Australia - the most by a batsman against them in ODIs - the first to complete a half-century of sixes against Australia, next highest being 39 in 42 innings by Eoin Morgan for England and Ireland.

# In International Cricket (Tests/ODIs/T20Is), Rohit's aggregate of 70 sixes in 44 innings is the most by any batsman vs Australia.

# India's chase started in right earnest as Rohit Sharma (65 off 55 balls) and Ajinkya Rahane (53 off 66) adding 106 runs in 18.2 overs.

# Hardik Pandya has managed 200 runs or more in an ODI series for the first time - his tally being 222 (ave.55.50) in four innings, including two fifties.

# Rohit Sharma averages 63.82 against Australia (1468 runs in 27 matches) - the highest among batsmen with 1,000 runs or more against them in ODIs.
