IND VS AUS, 1st ODI Highlights: Rahul, Shami shine as India beat Australia by 5 wickets, take 1-0 lead

Written By DNA Web Team | Updated: Mar 17, 2023, 08:54 PM IST

India vs Australia 1st ODI Highlights: KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten century stand helped India recover from a tricky situation and go past the finish line.

India's KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja put on a masterclass in batting as they chased down Australia's target of 189 runs in just 39.5 overs, securing a thrilling 5-wicket victory in the first ODI. Rahul's unbeaten 75 and Jadeja's 45 not out were the highlights of the match, as they rescued India from a top-order collapse.

Earlier, India's bowlers had done an excellent job of restricting Australia to just 188 runs. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj were the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets each. Despite a promising start from Mitchell Marsh, who scored 81 off 65, Australia failed to capitalize on their early momentum and were eventually bowled out.

India's stand-in captain, Hardik Pandya, had won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Wankhede Stadium. The decision proved to be a wise one, as India's bowlers put in a disciplined performance to keep Australia's batsmen in check.

IND vs AUS 1st ODI Live Score Updates: 

Kl Rahul: Saw three wickets fall down really early and Starc was swinging the ball really well. Just wanted to bat the first 15-20 balls and take it from there. Just wanted to play normal cricket shots and not go searching for runs. Couple of boundaries early on settled my nerves. Whoever I batted with, the talk was obviously there is a bit of help in the wicket but we can’t go into our shell. Get some runs is the only way you can put pressure on the bowler. We wanted to run hard and put the loose balls away.

IND vs AUS 1st ODI Live Score Updates: India win the toss and opts to field first

Hardik Pandya: We'll bowl first. It is a good track and dew factor will be there. We feel we will do well in the second innings. I got some time off, breaks are like gold dust for me so it gave me a chance to rest and improve. Playing for India every game and every format is important. With this being a WC year, the ODI format is important. We've gone with four quicks - Shardul, Shami, myself and Siraj. Two spinners in Jadeja and Kuldeep.

Steve Smith: Good toss to lose. Happy batting first because I didn't know what to do. We got to try our best to adjust to these conditions, and get our combinations right with the WC in mind. I think we played well in the back end, and plenty of fresh faces to choose from. Alex Carey is sick so he has gone home, so Josh Inglis will come in today. David Warner is not yet fully fit, so Mitch Marsh will open the batting. The rest of the changes will come on the big television here soon enough.
