India vs Australia, 1st ODI: KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja Steer India To A 5-Wicket Win Over Australia - In Pics

After being axed from the Test squad for poor performances, KL Rahul hit back at the critics in some style as his composed 75 after Mohammed Shami's mesmerising spell of seam bowling helped Team India overcome initial jitters to win a comfortable five-wicket win against Australia in the opening ODI in Mumbai on Friday. After being put in to bat, Australia suffered a dramatic collapse, losing six wickets for 19 runs inside eight overs to get bowled out for 188 in 35.4 overs, courtesy 3/17 from Shami. For the Aussies, Mitchell Starc caused chaos for the Indian top-order with some incisive swing bowling as India were left tottering at 39 for 4 just after the end of the Powerplay. However, KL Rahul alongside Ravindra Jadeja (45 not out, 69 balls) helped India out with some clinical batting as the hosts led the three-match series 1-0.
