Mohammed Shami claimed three wickets while Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja picked two each as India beat Australia by 36 runs to level the three-match series 1-1 in the second ODI encounter at Rajkot. <\/p>\n
Steve Smith was the top-scorer with 98 but that was not enough for the visitors. <\/p>\n
Earlier, Shikhar Dhawans sublime 96-run knock and impactful half-centuries from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli helped India post a challenging 340 for six. <\/p>\n
India looked good for a 350+ total but they lost quick wickets after Kohlis dismissal. It was then Lokesh Rahul, who took matters in his own hands and smashed a quickfire 80 to help India reach 340.<\/p>\n

High scoring game but a Good game..top quality knocks from some top quality batsman.. Manish Pandey set the tempo on the field and KL behind the stumps was exceptional #INDvAUS<\/p>\n

It is testament to the talent of KL Rahul that despite India's constant meddling with his position in the team and his role in the side he continues to excel. What a brilliant player. #INDvAUS<\/p>\n
