Jasprit Bumrah came up with a brilliant display with the white-ball on Sunday but his efforts went in vain as Australia clinched a three-wicket win in the first T20I of the ongoing two-match series in Visakhapatnam.

Bumrah picked up three wickets in his four-over quota but Australia gunned down a 127-run total in a last-ball thriller. 14 runs came off the final over of Australia's chase as Umesh Yadav as Australia tail-enders Pat Cummins and Jhye Richardson made handy contributions with the bat.

Glenn Maxwell was the start of the evening for Australia as he was in imperious hitting form. The Australia batsman launched a counterattack after Australia lost opener Marcus Stoinis and captain Aaron Finch for 1 and 0, respectively inside the first two overs of their innings. India got off to the best possible start with twin strikes inside the first two overs but Maxwell made sure Australia never felt the pressure by keeping the scoreboard ticking.

Maxwell made his intentions clear when he hit Jasprit Bumrah to a boundary in the fifth ball of the innings. He then hit Umesh Yadav for three boundaries to put the pressure back on the Indian bowlers.

Maxwell hit 56 off 43 balls before holing out to long-off against Yuzvendra Chahal's bowling in the 14th over of Australia's 127-run chase. Maxwell's fearless knock included two sixes and six boundaries. The Melbourne Stars captain had stitched an 85-run stand with opener D'Arcy Short.

However, Australia lost wickets in quick succession after the fall of Glenn Maxwell. While D'Arcy Short was run out after a terrible mix-up in the 16th over, Aston Turner was dismissed for naught while he tried to paddle sweep Krunal Pandya.

Debutant Mayank Markande, Umesh Yadav and Krunal Pandya slipped in three tidy overs after Maxwell's wicket to shift the balance slightly in favour of India. Captain Virat Kohli showed flashes of brilliance as he set attacking fields to put more pressure on the visitors.
