WATCH: Lt Col Dhoni presents camouflage caps to Team India players to honour Pulwama martyrs
In a move aimed at celebrating International Women's Day, former India player and current BCCI CoA member Diana Edulji presented the coin at the toss during the third ODI between the two teams
Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to field against Australia in the third contest of the five-match rubber at the JSCA stadium in Ranchi on Friday. While the hosts retained the team from their last match, the visitors made one change as pacer Coulter-Nile was replaced by Jhye Richardson.
The Men-in-Blue will be sporting camouflage caps today as mark of tribute to the armed forces and the people who lost their lives in Pulwama terror attack. It was Lt Col Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who presented the camouflage cap to the Indian squad.
