Watch: MS Dhoni's magic sees off Glenn Maxwell in India vs Australia Eden Gardens ODI
Kolkata: Virat Kohli’s Team India completed a sensational 50-run victory over Australia in the second ODI in Kolkata on Thursday, thanks to brilliant knocks from Virat Kohli himself and Ajinkya Rahane, and in return a spectacular hat-trick from young spinner Kuldeep Yadav, which won the match for India.
India’s wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had a below-par show with the bat, was at it again behind the wickets, as he quickly stumped Glenn Maxwell, who went back after scoring 14 runs.

It was a tossed up delivery to the leg-stump by spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, and after Maxwell failed to defend it, it was Dhoni who blew the stumps way, sending off the Aussie big-hitter before he could make it back in time.
With the win, India has not only led the series 2-0 but also have assured themselves of retaining the top spot in ODI rankings.
Both the teams will now fly to Indore, where the Men in Blue will look to seal the series 3-0 at the Holkar International Stadium on Sunday.
The five-match ODI series will be followed by a three-match T20 series, which starts on October 7 and concludes on October 13.
