India (281/5) defeat Australia (276) by 5 wickets to win the 1st ODI and gain number one position in ICC's ODI Team Rankings

Shami becomes the first Indian pacer to take a five-wicket haul in India in ODI after 16 long years.
 
Tricky chase as these guys have never played as a unit before. But Indian TM will be looking for some players to adapt themselves to new roles.
 
India batting unit is full of youngsters . let's see how they cope with Australian bowlers

It is a team game. More often than not assemblnig good players don't mean immediate success. THey need to gel, develop chemistry. This is why world XI often falters against a settled side.
 
Very good running. They take 4 runs and why the hell they are checking as they already got 4 runs :ROFLMAO:
 
India 101/0 in 16 overs
India produce great opening batsmen like Pak do pacers
The Aussie bowlers have not looked threatening at all
Our pacers attack is good no doubt but I must say indian pace looks attack just as impressive if not even better. I agree with mamoon with that assessment.

Aus india pak all have good pace attacks.

Sabrina slightly weaker and England too.
 
I watched some overs from the bowlers and the Aussies bowlers kept bowling pies, they did not find the right length and both batsmen look in excellent form. Maybe India are peaking too early.
 
Not taking anything away from India, but of late they have bowled when the conditions for bowling have been good and they bat when the ball is coming nicely on to the bat.

To those PPers who exaggerate the impact of pace , Cam Green is consistently bowling close to 145kph but the Indian batsmen are toying with him .

Shami at 135 was so much better
Because shami seam position is better and he bowls back of length deliveries. Much harder to attack plus his release point is closer to the batsman in comparison to green.

Shami is a great bowler. But he should maintain speeds between 135-141. Looks much more deadly at that pace.

Yea will be interesting to see them bat first and set a target. I want to see if this attack can defend a 300 total. If they keep picking thakur I back australia to win. And ashwin too who did nothing.
 
Tilak Varma should have played in this match. KL Rahul is made of glass. He could have been rested. BCCI seems to be hell bent on making KL the keeper even though Ishan Kishan is in the playing XI.
Kl dropped alot today. If india play him as keeper, select thakur and ashwin then india won't win kOs in my opinion.

Bumrah and company and extra deadly when they have a score to defend.

Ashwin is not playing world cup.
