India’s third ODI against Australia is a crucial match as both sides aim to win the series. India are considered the favourites due to the pitch’s nature at Chepauk Stadium. India won the first ODI in Mumbai by 5 wickets, while Australia emerged victorious in the second ODI by 10 wickets. The third and final ODI is scheduled to be held on March 22. Dhoni, on the other hand, will next be seen in action on March 31 during the opening match of IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings.
