IND vs AUS: Glenn Maxwell's sensational reflex catch to get rid of India captain Rohit Sharma off his own bowling in the 21st over of the third and final ODI in Rajkot has stunned the cricket world.

Maxwell, playing his first match of the 3-match series, failed with the bat but starred with the ball for the visitors. He broke the 74-run opening stand between Rohit Sharma and Washington Sundar by dismissing the latter.

On the final of the 21st over, Rohit Sharma smashed the delivery straight towards Maxwell who tried to save himself from the line of the shot but his reflex action also saw him stretch his right hand up. Fortunately, the ball got stuck in his palm.

Glenn Maxwell looked as shocked as everyone else and could not celebrate the big wicket because of the same reason. By the time he realised, Rohit Sharma had already started walking back to the pavilion after scoring 81 off 57 balls. Rohit's innings consisted of five four and six sixes.

Glenn Maxwell later picked India's third wicket as well by dismissing his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate Virat Kohli who scored 56 off 61 balls. At the time of Kohli's departure India were batting on 171 for the loss of three wickets in 26.5 overs.

India are chasing a mammoth 353-run target. A win in the match will see them clinch the series 3-0. India won the first ODI in Mohali by five wickets and second game in Indore by 99 runs (DLS method).
