Mohali, March 10: Shikhar Dhawan made a blinding hundred and Rohit made an equally impressive 95 as India made an imposing 358/9 against Australia in the fourth ODI at Mohali on Sunday. But it hardly mattered the visitors found heroes in centurion Peter Handscomb, Ashton Turner and Usman Khawaja who made brilliant fifties as they emerger a four-wicket winner. Now, the series tied at 2-2.
After botching up a chance to win the series at Ranchi, India would not like to make any such slip up when they face Australia in the fourth ODI here on Sunday (March 10). They would like to emerge winner in the match aS well aS in the SerieS.
India will perforce make a change as veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be rested for the last two matches. Rishabh Pant will walk in as wicketkeeper for these two matches. Here's MyKhel live update of the fouth India vs Australia ODI.
Some record thiS.

Also the highest successful chase by any side vs India. #INDvAUS
Australia beat India by 4 wickets. Incredible run chase.
Alex Carey goes but Australia need just two runs.
Now, Dhawan dropped Turner, a batsman batting on 80 with 200 strike rate
Ashton Turner. Don't miss this -- incredible hitting
6, 4 by Ashton Turner off Bhuvi. He has 50 and Australia 300
Pant is not having the best of the day behind the stump -- missed stumping, wrong review, a flopped attempt to run out Carey etc. And crowd often get into this Dhoni chant often
Chahal bowled one wide off the off stump and Handscomb went with the shot, just a tame catch to KL Rahul at long off. He is gone for 117
Pant had a decent chance to stump Ashton Turner but he missed it and to top it, Australia made 13 runs off that over, including three 4s.
Big wicket. Glenn Maxwell gone. He tried a reverse sweep but missed the it completely to adjudged lbw for 23.
Maiden ODI hundred for Peter Handscomb. Excellent knock. But lot of work pending still.
Khawaja wanted to pull Bumrah but he mishit it and Kuldeep took a good tumbling catch. He is out for 91 and Aus are 204/3
6, 6 by Handscomb off Jadhav and he is into mid 90s now. 200 up for Australia
The asking rate has climbed over 9...Aus need a few beefy shots
Jadhav hit Khawaja on the pads and umpire Dharmasena gave him out, only to get overturned by DRs. He was on 85.
Khawaja and Handscomb are going at 6 an over but remember the asking rate is over 8
Peter Handscomb goes past 50..a good knock but the Aussies are not even halfway though with their mountaineering
Khawaja has gone past his 50 and Handscomb is close. But still a mountain left to be climbed
Australia are getting single and twos and occasional three but boundaries are not coming through. Run rate is a shade above 5 and it is not enough if you are chasing 359
Kedar Jadhav into attack and he has this knack of breaking set partnerships
Khawaja and Handscomb are hanging in there. At the 14th over, they are 63/2 chasing 359.
Bumrah and Bhuvi have been quite economical apart from picking up those two wickets
The chase of Australia got off to a jittery start losing two wickets -- shaun marsh and Aaron Finch -- and remember they are hunting 359
India made 358/9 and it's going to be hard chase for Australia.
Jasprit Bumrah ended the India's innings with a six off Pat Cummins. And see the reaction from Kohli and others in the dressing room!
That moment when @Jaspritbumrah93 hits the last ball for a maximum 😅😅#INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/e6iOHorg8N

Chahal gone in the penultimate ball of the match to Cummins -- caught and bowled
Another batsmen bite the dust -- Bhuvneshwar Kumar this time
Vijay shankar made couple of beefy hits 6 and 4 as India close in on 350
That usual flurry of wickets at the end and this time Kedar Jadhav falls
Pant falls to the urge to accelerate. Holed out to Finch off Cummins for 36
