HIGHLIGHTS | IND VS AUS, 1st ODI Full Scorecard: India Beat Australia, Take 1-0 Lead, Become World No 1 Across Formats

India vs Australia, 1st ODI Match LIVE Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Shami With the ball and Gill with the bat - were the heroes of the match in the series opener.

Breaking the Mohali curse that had plagued them since 1996, India secured a historic victory over Australia at the venue. The match featured a fairly routine chase, with improved batting performances in the second innings as the pitch mellowed. Shubman Gill showcased his princely form during the powerplay, displaying dazzling strokeplay. Ruturaj, while taking his time initially, gradually accelerated his run-scoring. Both openers notched up half-centuries, but Adam Zampa turned the tide with three successive wickets, dismissing Gill and Ruturaj while Iyer was run out.

Tensions rose momentarily when Ishan Kishan fell attempting an audacious upper cut, but Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul composed themselves. Suryakumar, in particular, displayed remarkable restraint, blending textbook shots with his attacking instincts to bring India closer to victory. While he couldn't finish the job, KL Rahul remained assured, scoring a captain's fifty and securing the win with eight balls to spare. It was a memorable day, ending a two-decade-old drought against Australia in Mohali.

Australia vs India: Cummins reflects on loss

Pat Cummins: Personally, happy to be back. Good to get my first game in India. A few guys batted well, few guys bowled well but overall not good enough. (On injuries) They'd probably not be ready for the second game, maybe the third game. Maxi has just arrived in India. Smith's first hit as well, and Davey was brilliant. Good to see them out there together. We've got one eye on the big tournament, but you want to set the standards early and build a good rhythm.
