🏏Australia vs. India: 3rd ODI at Rajkot on 27/09/2023 D/N🏏 - Page 75

Seetharaman : "Why snicko was not used by Third Umpire in Jadeja's replay?" Because the vision showed he missed it by a long way

Ajay: "What do you think Jadeja is trying to do? Not hitting, not trying to hit, playing dot balls, and still not giving strike." Not sure. Just have a centre wicket hit

Pat Cummins | Australia captain: I must say I'm pretty happy to bowl in the night than in the heat. Both have not played a lot, Maxwell four-fer and Starcy looked in great rhythm. Trav Head won't be fit for the start of the tournament. I will be pretty worried about opening the bowling against them [on Warner-Mitch Marsh]. Ash Agar is back home with a calf and Head won't be fit for the next couple of weeks. Happy as it was the first hit where we have had almost a full-strength team.

Glenn Maxwell | Player of the Match: Not too bad, is it! It has been a lot of hard work. The South Africa tour was a bit of a setback, but sped things up as well, got back home and got an injection. I don't have any travel issues unlike the others. I look fresh. It's nice to chip in, if Mitch Marsh was there on the field, we would have chopped and changed [on the bowling]. Since he was not there, had to bowl more. That will be the role of the allrounders in this World Cup. We are all trying to be as flexible as possible. We have a super flexible list and it's good to get some momentum before the World Cup.

Zeeshan : "Yes Marsh, Marnus, Smith played well, but Maxwell is their mom (man of the match)"

Rohit Sharma | India captain: I'm prettyhappy, of course I would like to go all the way along but if I'm hitting like that I'm happy. The last 7-8 ODIs we have played really well, we have been challenged under different conditions and different teams, I thought we responded to that challenge pretty well. Unfortunately not the result we wanted today. [on Bumrah] I'm pretty happy, more importantly how he feels body-wise, he has got so much skill, one bad game can happen to anyone. How he feels mentally and body-wise is key for us and that's looking good for us. When we talk about the 15 we are very clear what we want. We are not confused, we know where we are headed as a team. It's a team sport and we want everyone to come and play their part - that's how we win championships. It's about looking after the body and try and stay fresh for the next one and half months.

Ajey: "I am finding Jadeja's batting with the tail in ODIs rather strange and it's been a pattern."

Also Shubman Gill was presented with the Player of the Series award which Rohit collected as Gill is not here.

Time for the trophy presentation and Rohit invites KL - who was the captain in the first two games to come and share it with him. That's nice. Then the entire team with a lot of local Saurashtra players who helped out on the field today come together to pose for the cameras. Rohit makes sure he acknowledges the local players as they beam for the cameras. That brings to an end the series and it's the last one before the all important big event. India looking strong but still have a few things to work on. Same with Australia who will be happy to head there with a win.
