India vs Australia, 1st ODI Highlights: Rahul and Jadeja's heroic partnership guides hosts to five-wicket win in Mumbai

21:02 (IST)

That brings us to the end of our coverage of the opening game of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia in Mumbai. On behalf of my colleagues at the Firstpost sports desk, this is Amit signing off, wishing you all a good night!

21:01 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

Ravindra Jadeja is the Player of the Match for his all-round contribution (2/46 and 45 not out and an incredible catch to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne)

20:53 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

At 39/4, India’s hopes appeared extinguished with Mitchell Starc bowling the spell of a lifetime and putting the Aussies in the driver’s seat. KL Rahul, though had other plans, and brought the hosts back on their feet with two match-saving partnerships in the company of skipper Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, the second one guiding the Men in Blue home.


India will have concerns regarding their top order heading into the remaining games at Visakhapatnam and Chennai, the way their middle order fought back today along with their all-round bowling performance will certainly give them a lot of confidence.

Australia skipper Smith, meanwhile, will be ruing his decision of bringing Starc back for his final two overs after the game had well and truly slipped out of their grasp following a 17-run over from Zampa.

20:46 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

KL Rahul (75* off 91): Saw three wickets fall down really early and Starc was swinging the ball really well. Just wanted to bat the first 15-20 balls and take it from there. Just wanted to play normal cricket shots and not go searching for runs. Couple of boundaries early on settled my nerves. Whoever I batted with, the talk was obviously there is a bit of help in the wicket but we can’t go into our shell. Get some runs is the only way you can put pressure on the bowler. We wanted to run hard and put the loose balls away.

20:42 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 39.5 overs,India 191/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 75 , Ravindra Jadeja 45)

FOUR! Jadeja hits the winning boundary off Starc, going for an aerial drive wide of mid on, as India win by five wickets with more than 10 overs to spare, going 1-0 up with two games to go!

And what a partnership between Rahul and Jadeja, worth 108 and one that proved to be the difference in the end! And Rahul will certainly have regained the faith of the team leadership and silenced his critics with what is one of his more memorable knocks under pressure.

20:37 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

FOUR! Flicked over the square leg region by Jadeja off Starc! India 187/5; need 2 to win from 63 balls

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

The partnership between Rahul and Jadeja hits the century mark, with India on the brink of going 1-0 up at the Wankhede! Rahul brings up the milestone with a single off Starc, with the pair consuming 127 deliveries along the way. Outstanding stuff from the middle-order pair, rising to the occasion at a time when the Aussies were breathing down their necks. India just one hit over the fence away from a win now! IND 183/5

20:34 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 39 overs,India 181/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 74 , Ravindra Jadeja 37)

Five off Abbott's penultimate over, including a brace to Rahul off the fifth ball after getting an inside nick through the square leg region, leaving India needing just 8 to win from 11 overs. Rahul/Jadeja could pull this off with a couple of hits to the fence from here.

20:29 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 38 overs,India 176/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 70 , Ravindra Jadeja 36)

Smith brings Abbott and Starc back into the attack, but it might be a tad bit late for the Aussies to mount a fightback, specially after that 17-run over from Zampa which has put the Men in Blue on the brink of victory at the Wankhede. With plenty of overs left in the chase, Rahul and Jadeja happy to do the job in singles right now. Nine off the last two. India need 13 from 12 overs.

20:22 (IST)

What a way to silence once's critics

20:19 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE

After 36 overs,India 167/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 66 , Ravindra Jadeja 32)

FOUR! Rahul plays this late off Zampa and drives it superbly behind point to collect his seventh boundary. SIX! Rahul follows it up with an even mightier hit over the wide long on fence for his first maximum of the evening two balls later. What adds to Zampa and Australia's woes in this over is the four wides conceded by the leg-spinner between the four and the six. India need just 22 off 84 now!

20:13 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

After 35 overs,India 150/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 54 , Ravindra Jadeja 32)

FOUR! Slashed hard behind point by Rahul off a back-of-length delivery from Green, bringing up the 150 for the Men in Blue in the process! Collects the boundary right after bringing up his fifty. Partnership's worth 67 off 99 deliveries. India need another 39 to win off 90 balls.

Fifty to KL Rahul  — his 2nd in ODIs this year and his 13th overall in the format! Brings up the milestone with a single off Cam Green in the 35th over. Takes 73 balls to bring up the milestone, collecting five boundaries along the way. IND 145/5

19:59 (IST)

The fifty partnership — the first of the Indian innings — comes up between Rahul and Jadeja at the end of the 32nd over, with the pair consuming 76 deliveries in what has been a patient stand so far. The milestone comes up with a leg bye after Stoinis hits Rahul on the front pad and appeals unsuccessfully for a leg-before.

19:56 (IST)

India vs Australia LIVE SCORE

FOUR! Short and wide from Stoinis, and Jadeja has little problem cutting this square towards the vacant point boundary for third boundary. IND 131/5; need 58 off 110

19:52 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

After 31 overs,India 124/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 42 , Ravindra Jadeja 20)

Edged... and safe! Green manages to create a chance after being brought back, inducing an outside edge off Rahul's blade, with Smith getting his fingertips on the ball after leaping to his right. Rahul collects a single off the reprieve. Jadeja, meanwhile, attempts to charge down the track later in this over, but his on-drive is intercepted at mid on.

19:48 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

After 30 overs,India 122/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 41 , Ravindra Jadeja 20)

Maxwell continues after the drinks interval while Smith decides to give Starc a break and brings Stoinis, who removed Pandya, back. Eight off the last two overs, including a brace to Jadeja that takes him to 20, leaving India needing 67 off 120.

Let's see what Vizag and Chennai have in store!
 

19:40 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 28 overs,India 114/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 39 , Ravindra Jadeja 16)

Drinks brought to the field at the end of the 28th over, in which Starc goes for six runs including a boundary to Rahul off the fourth delivery. Rahul's batting on 39 at the end of the over, with the partnership with Jadeja, one that has revived India's hopes, now worth 31 off 52 deliveries. The Men in Blue need another 75 to win off 132 deliveries.

19:35 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

FOUR! Drilled down the ground by Rahul off Starc, placing it perfectly between mid off and mid on. Rahul and Jadeja had been playing Starc cautiously so far in his second spell, but the former decided to make full use of the opportunity afforded to him. IND 113/5

19:26 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 26 overs,India 106/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 33 , Ravindra Jadeja 15)

Smith decides to bring Starc back at the halfway stage for another burst, and the left-arm pacer starts off with a yorker first up to Rahul, who manages to steer it square for a single. FOUR! Lovely little flick by Jadeja off an overpitched delivery from Starc in the penultimate delivery of the over. The all-rounder keeps the strike with a single off the last ball.

19:18 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 25 overs,India 100/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 32 , Ravindra Jadeja 10)

FOUR! A welcome boundary for the Indians as Jadeja tickles an overpitched delivery from Zampa towards the vacant fine leg fence. A much-needed boundary for the Men in Blue, one that certainly will take some pressure off them. Single off each of the next two balls as the 100 comes up for the hosts, leading to a cheer from the Wankhede crowd. At the halfway stage, Team India are still alive in the contest, and a lot will depend on how Rahul steers them from here.

19:16 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 22 overs,India 88/5 ( KL Rahul (W) 28 , Ravindra Jadeja 3)

Just 10 runs have been collected in the last five overs, including a wicket-maiden to Stoinis in the 20th in which he gets rid of Pandya. The Men in Blue are treading carefully at the moment, and the current pair of Rahul and Jadeja will look to keep the scoreboard through the ones and twos for a while.

19:01 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE

OUT! Stoinis with the breakthrough as he bounces the Indian skipper out! Pandya tries to hook the short delivery that was aimed at his throat, and ends up hooking it towards long leg, where Green latches on to the ball right in front of the boundary rope. Australia shake things up a bit just when India appeared to be sailing rather smoothly. IND 83/5

Pandya c Green b Stoinis 25(31)

18:58 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

After 19 overs,India 83/4 ( KL Rahul (W) 26 , Hardik Pandya (C) 25)

Stoinis, who replaces Abbott in the attack, oversteps midway into his fourth over as the no-ball buzzer goes off at the Wankhede Stadium, much to the crowd's delight. The all-rounder, though, does well to restrict Hardik Pandya to a single in the free hit. Meanwhile, Australia skipper Smith finally introduces spin in the 19th over, with Adam Zampa replacing Cameron Green and conceding two singles in his first over. India need another 106 to win in 31 overs with six wickets in hand.

18:44 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

SIX! Pandya collects the first maximum of the Indian chase with a firm uppercut off a short-of-length delivery from Green, comfortably clearing the third man fence as a result! IND 77/4

18:38 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

After 14 overs,India 58/4 ( KL Rahul (W) 17 , Hardik Pandya (C) 11)

Drinks called on the field at the end of the 14th over, with Pandya collecting a second boundary for himself with a lovely drive through the midwicket/mid-on region. Steady partnership for the fifth wicket between Pandya and Rahul so far, one that will be crucial if the Men in Blue are to chase 188 down today.

18:25 (IST)

India vs Australia LIVE SCORE

After 13 overs,India 52/4 ( KL Rahul (W) 16 , Hardik Pandya (C) 6)

FOUR! Lovely stuff from Rahul — waits for the ball to climb before guiding it behind point, beating the fielder running to his right from third man. Brings up the fifty for the hosts, who still have a long way to go and have just six wickets in hand now. Meanwhile, Starc finally gets a breather as Smith decides to bring Cameron Green into the attack.

18:15 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

FOUR! Pandya gets off the mark with a boundary first ball! Overpitched delivery outside off, and the all-rounder has little problem driving this behind point. IND 43/4

18:13 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

OUT! Another one bites the dust! Smith's decision to persist with Starc from one end lands him the wicket of Gill, who was looking increasinly settled and was becoming a threat for the Aussies. Superb catch by Labuschagne at point diving to his left. Third wicket for Starc in what has been a dream spell so far. IND 39/4

Gill c Labuschagne b Starc 20

18:10 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

After 10 overs,India 39/3 ( Shubman Gill 20 , KL Rahul (W) 9)

FOUR! Second boundary for Rahul as the keeper-batter cuts this short delivery from Abbott behind square, sending the ball scurrying away to the wide third man fence. End of what turned out to be a superb powerplay for the Aussies, one that has given them hope of defending this lowly total.

18:06 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

After 9 overs,India 33/3 ( Shubman Gill 19 , KL Rahul (W) 5)

FOUR! Edged... and safe! Gill gets another thick edge off Starc's bowling, and this time the ball runs away to the third man fence wide of the two slip fielders. Five off Starc's fifth over, including a wide.

17:53 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

FOUR! Now that's a solid response from Rahul, as he crunches the ball through the covers in what is a hat-trick delivery for Starc. The left-arm seamer fired this outside off, but didn't get much movement, offering the batter a gift as a result. IND 24/3

17:50 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

After 6 overs,India 20/3 ( Shubman Gill 13 , KL Rahul (W) 0)

FOUR! Gill leans into a full delivery from Abbott, who replaces Stoinis, outside off and produces an aerial drive over the covers, collecting his second boundary in the process. Abbott successfully appeals for leg-before off the final delivery of the over, with India appearing to have lost a fourth wicket inside the first powerplay. For once, though, a review goes India's way as the ball is shown to be going over the stumps on HawkEye. Another nervy over for the Indians.

17:42 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

OUT! Two wickets in an over for Mitchell Starc as he traps local boy Suryakumar Yadav leg-before for a golden duck! And it's the inswinger that he uses to devastating effect to grab his second wicket in his third over. Was initially turned down by umpire Nitin Menon, and skipper Steve Smith decided to take this upstairs after a bit of chat with the bowler and the keeper, the decision of which paid off in the end. India in deep trouble at the moment. IND 16/3

Surya LBW Starc 0(1)

17:39 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

OUT! Deserved scalp for Starc, who's bowling an outstanding spell at the moment, as he traps Kohli bang in front of middle with a full inswinger, with the umpire wasting no time in raising the finger. With two wickets down in the powerplay, the 189-run target suddenly appears a mountain to climb. IND 16/2

Kohli LBW Starc 4(9)

17:33 (IST)

IND vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE SCORE

FOUR! Kohli off the mark in style, producing an exquisite drive down the ground off an overpitched delivery from Stoinis. IND 15/1

17:31 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE

After 3 overs,India 10/1 ( Shubman Gill 7 , Virat Kohli 0)

DROPPED! Inglis, keeping the wickets today in place of Carey, puts down a chance after a healthy outside edge off Gill's bat as India nearly lose two wickets in as many overs. The Leeds-born keeper dove to his right and got a bit of glove on the ball, but couldn't quite hold on to it in the end. Gill then responds with a lovely cover drive off Starc the next delivery, rubbing salt on the wound. Virat Kohl, coming in at No 3, is yet to get off the mark after arriving at the crease.

17:25 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE

OUT! Marcus Stoinis strikes in his very first over as Ishan Kishan departs for 3. What will disappoint the Indian dressing room even more is the fact that he burns a review on his way back to the dugout after getting three reds on HawkEye. IND 5/1

Kishan LBW Stoinis 3(8)

17:17 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE

It's a young pair beginning the Indian chase today, with Ishan Kishan walking out to open the innings alongside Shubman Gill. The former will be hoping to make the opportunity count today, knowing he will have to vacate his spot for skipper Rohit Sharma, who will play the remaining ODIs after sitting out of the first. Mitchell Starc to bowl the first over. Early wickets the key for the Aussies if they are to defend this modest total.

16:39 (IST)

Not a very happy reading if you're an Aussie supporter

16:37 (IST)

An innings of two halves for the Aussies

16:34 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

After 35.4 overs,Australia 188/10 ( Mitchell Starc 4 , )

OUT! Siraj grabs the final wicket, getting Zampa caught-behind for a six-ball duck as Australia are bowled out for 188 after being invited to bat by the Men in Blue. Siraj finishes with three wickets, the same as Shami. Australia get bundled out inside 36 overs, losing their last six wickets for just 19 runs, and will be especially disappointed given this is a belter of a Wankhede wicket.

Zampa c Rahul b Siraj 0(6)

16:24 (IST)

India vs Australia 1st ODI LIVE Score

OUT! Edged... and taken! Another catch for Gill at the slip cordon, and this one's even better than his previous catch, as Siraj removes Abbott for a seven-ball duck! Australia are now one wicket away from getting bowled out and they're 12 short of 200 at the moment. Shami may have earned a breather but the wickets continue to tumble! AUS 188/9

Abbott c Gill b Siraj 0(7)

16:21 (IST)

WHAT.A.SPELL.

16:17 (IST)

India vs Australia LIVE SCORE

OUT! Wickets are falling like nine pins at the moment, and it's a proper collapse on a lively Wankhede surface with Glenn Maxwell the latest to depart. The 'Big Show' hardly gets going in his first international appearance since November, crawling to 8 off 10 before holing out to Panday at catching midwicket to give Jadeja his second wicket. Australia have now lost four wicket for 15 runs in the last 28 balls, and they are yet to breach 200 with just two wickets in hand! AUS 184/8

Maxwell c Pandya b Jadeja 8(10)

16:13 (IST)

India vs Australia LIVE SCORE

OUT! Gill makes amends for two dropped chances earlier today! Stoinis, who had been dropped on nought in the previous over, once again gets a thick outside edge. And once again, it is a tough chance for Gill as the ball flies towards him like a rocket. This time he pouches it safely as Australia lose their seventh wicket less than 200 on the board. AUS 184/7

Stoinis c Gill b Shami 5(8)

16:04 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

After 30 overs,Australia 174/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 3 , Marcus Stoinis 0)

DROPPED! Shami nearly collects two-in-two and Stoinis nearly departs for a golden duck as Gill puts down another chance at slip. Stoinis got a healthy nick on a length delivery from Shami outside off, and Gill shapes nicely for the catch, only for the ball to burst through his palms in the end. How expensive will that reprieve prove for the Indians?

15:59 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score

BOWLED! Second wicket for Shami in as many overs, and what a spell this is turning out to be for Shami! Green gets the marching orders now, as the senior pacer once again hits timber, this time beating the batter completely with a gem of a delivery that straightens along the off stump, uprooting it in the end. AUS 174/6

Green b Shami 12(19)

India vs Australia, 1st ODI preview: With the riveting four-match Test series behind them, India and Australia gear up for some white-ball action with the two sides facing off in the first of three One-Day Internationals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday.

Team India once again emerged victorious against Australia in a Test series, winning the four-Test rubber 2-1 after the final Test in Ahmedabad ended in a high-scoring draw. The Rohit Sharma-led side had retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after winning the first two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi inside three days.

The third Test in Indore also ended inside three days — but in an Australian victory, as Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon managed to spin a web around the Indian batters. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, however, scored tons in Ahmedabad to help the hosts score nearly 600 and evaporate Australia’s hopes of pulling off a series-leveling win.

Australia, incidentally, were the last team to beat India on their own backyard in any format, winning three games in a row after losing the first two in an ODI series in 2019 right before the World Cup. India, though, would exact revenge less than a year later, winning a three-match ODI series 2-1 after losing the opening game.

Squads:

India: Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan(w), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya(c), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Jaydev Unadkat

Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Steven Smith(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey(w), Cameron Green, Ashton Agar, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis, Nathan Ellis
