Internet Desk: Virat Kohli led Indian cricket team is in red hot form as they have won 9 ODI’s on the trot. They have completed their ninth successive win on the trot by beating Australia in Indore last night.
The Men in Blue outclassed the Aussies by five wickets last night to take a 3-0 lead in the 5 match ODI series. Hardik was awarded the Man of the Match for his all-round performance as he took one wicket and scored 78 runs from just 72 deliveries.
The win at Holkar helped India to climb the top spot of ICC ODI rankings. They are also the number 1 side in Tests for a long period of time.
Like the others, legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar lauded the achievement of Men in Blue over the Aussies.
Heaping praise on Team India, Tendulkar said it was a “great achievement” to string together nine successive wins.
Now, the Master Blaster wants the “Men in Blue” to go all the way to a clean sweep of 5-0 and complete a “bluewash”.
“A win made to look rather easy by the #MenInBlue! Great achievement to remain unbeaten in 9 games! Let’s make it 11 & #bluewash the series,” Tendulkar wrote on his Twitter page last night after India’s win.

If the Men in Blue manage to beat Australia 5-0, then it would happen for the first time. India has never completed a whitewash against Australia in a bilateral series.
After the win on last night, Virat Kohli & co. have equaled their own record which was set by Mahendra Singh Dhoni led side between November 2008 and February 2009.
Now it will be seen whether Kohli brigade can fulfill Sachin’s wish or not.
