Highlights: Ind vs Aus 3rd ODI: Adam Zampa picked the wickets of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. © Twitter A valiant century by captain Virat Kohli went in vain as India lost by 32 runs against Australia at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association Stadium in Ranchi.

Reports of golfer Patrick Reed and Cameron Smith getting physical in Presidents Cup clash
Smith labelled Reed a cheat after the Texan was penalised two strokes during a tournament last week for improving his lie when he moved sand with his practise swing.
