India vs Australia, Live Cricket Score, 1st ODI: India score fighting 281/7 against Australia in Chennai

India vs Australia Live Cricket Score 1st ODI: India recover after bad start against Australia.

India vs Australia, Live Cricket Score, 1st ODI: India 281/7 after 50 overs – Hardik Pandya’s whirlwind 83-run innings and MS Dhoni anchored the innings with his 79 runs as India recovered from 11 for 3 to post 281 for the loss of seven wickets in the 1st ODI against Australia in Chennai. Pandya’s clean striking and sensible cricket from India’s former captain led India’s recovery and took India to a competitive total. Earlier, Rohit Sharma tried to pull a short ball from Stoinis only to hit to deep square leg. India lost three early wickets, that of Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey, in the first six overs. India won the toss and elected to bat against Australia but did not get the desired start. The new opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan did not give a strong start as the latter was caught behind in the fourth over. He chased a wide ball from Nathan Counter-Nile and was caught by Matthew Wade. Steve Smith dropped Rohit Sharma at second slip but a ball later, Glenn Maxwell took a stunner at backward point to dismiss Virat Kohli! Manish Pandey was caught behind for duck in the same over. Ravindra Jadeja did not feature in the playing as India decided to go in with two wrist spinners in Yuzvender Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.
