Even without two premier batters Team India were quite impressive against a strong Australian side in the first ODI at the PCA Stadium on Friday. The way Gen-Z batters Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad batted under lights, chasing 277, the absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was never felt.
Surya, KL shine
No doubt, there was a hiccup when Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan fell in quick succession, but KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav with an excellent partnership ensured that India won the match with five wickets and eight balls to spare, to make a winning start to the three-match series.
