KL Rahul looking good. Two fours in the fourth over as Jhye Richardson leaked 11 runs. India 26/1 with Rahul on 20 off 13.

Wicket: And Rohit Sharma (5 off 8)gone. Caught at short fine leg by Adam Zampa off Jason Behrendorff. India opener was trying to be inventive. Paid the price. Bad execution. FoW - 14/1 (2.3 over). Virat Kohli is the new man for India.

TEAMS

Australia:  Aaron Finch (c), D Arcy Short, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Peter Handscomb (wk), Ashton Turner, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson, Jason Behrendorff, Adam Zampa

TOSS

Mayank Markande is making India debut, and Aussie captain Aaron Finch won the toss. India will bat first.

Even as Indian establishments, including the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), continue to work overtime to isolate Pakistan, Men in Blue are taking the field in the home comfort against Australia.

Virat Kohli-led India did not lose a series in Australia but could not maintain the momentum against the other half of Trans-Tasman, New Zealand. India had a blip in the Kiwi land, missing the series decider by four runs in the third T20I.

With an aim to regain their winning streak, India kick-start their home series against Australia at the ACA-VCDA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
