India vs Australia, 1st ODI: Team India has won the first ODI played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai by 5 wickets. When Australia set a target of 189 runs in front of India, it seemed that the ‘Men in Blue’ would achieve this target comfortably. But this did not happen and the Indian batsmen initially surrendered to the Australian bowlers.
India lost the wickets of five of their key batsmen for just 83 runs. After this, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja played an important role in winning Team India by a brilliant partnership of 108 runs.
