IND vs AUS, 1st ODI Highlights: India Beat Australia by 5 Wickets to go 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI Series

After a horrific collapse, a 108-run unbeaten stand between KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja take India home safely in the first ODI in Mumbai. After a brilliant bowling show by Mohammad Shami (3/17) and Mohammed Siraj (3/29), KL Rahul top-socred with an unbeaten 75 off 91 balls. Jadeja contributed with a valuable 25 off 31 deliveries.

KL Rahul batting on 75 off 91 balls. India need just 6runs to win and go 1-0 up in the 3-match series. A 100-run partnership between Rahul and Jadeja for the 6th wicket.

What a shot from KL Rahul!! Tossed up delivery from Adam Zampa around off, Rahul kneels and slog sweeps over wide long-on for a SIX!

IND: 166/5 after 35.4 overs

A boundary to Green and then another one against Adam Zampa. He seems to be amplifying the Indian innings here. These two shots have taken India closer to the target.

IND: 155/5 after 35.2 overs

You may love him or hate him, but can’t really ignore him. That’s KL Rahul for you. A 73-ball half-century; maybe a slower one but that has bailed India out of massive trouble. His 13th ODI fifty, which will definitely be remembered for positive reasons.

IND: 138/5 after 33 overs

Inside edge and misses the first slip. Fuller delivery, Rahul looks for the drive but gets an inside edge that flies past a diving Steve Smith. But Mitchell Starc does a great job near the boundary line. The southpaw dives full length, stops the ball and saves three runs. Super effort.

KL Rahul is currently batting for 41 which clearly makes him the top-scorer for India. Will be able to get a fifty? If he does, he will definitely look to take the team home.

IND: 122/5 after 29.4 overs

What a shot! Slightly overpitched from Starc, Rahul leans and drives it down the tracks with the full face of his blade. Superbly played and well-timed!

IND: 112/5 after 27.4 overs

Glenn Maxwell comes into the attack and guess what, he’s right there on the money. Just 2 runs off his first over in the game and that’s enough to mount a little pressure on the Indians.

IND: 108/5 after 27 overs

Starc looks to attack the pads and bowls it at 144.6 clicks but ends up being a half-volley. Ravindra Jadeja flicks it away in front of square leg and picks up a boundary.

IND: 106/5 after 26 overs

100 runs come up on board for India. Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul are battling relentlessly against a remarkable Australia bowling attack. India need 89 more runs in 25 overs.

Runs: 49 (4s: 1, 6s: 1) Balls: 60 Dismissals: 3 Avg: 16.3 SR: 81.7

Marcus Stoinis gets the Indian captain. but gets hurried and mistimes it as the ball travels in the air towards deep square leg where Cameron Green runs to his right and pouches it safely.

IND: 83/5 after 19.2 overs

A great over from Marcus Stonis. Just three runs from it and India just go past the 80-run mark. 109 more to win for the hosts.

Short ball from Cameron Green, moving outside off, Pandya plays the uppercut and clears the third-man fence easily for a maximum. Simple yet impactful shot.

IND:77/4 after 16.2 overs

Misfield by Glenn Maxwell and Rahul gets a complimentary boundary. Maxwell leaving a ball, a rare scene on the field but it has happened at the Wankhede. Rahul drives it straight, Maxwell tries to stop at the long-off but the ball goes underneath his hands for a boundary.

IND: 69/4 after 15.2 overs

In the air, in the gap as well and goes for a boundary. Superb timing by the Indian captain. Short and Wide, Pandya punches it uppishly for a boundary.

IND: 63/4 after 14.3 overs

What a shot this. A grounded helicopter may be? Fuller delivery by Sean Abbott, Pandya flicks it between mid-wicket and mid-on for a boundary.

IND: 58/4 after 14 overs
