India vs Australia, 1st ODI, Live Cricket Score: Rohit-Dhoni in damage control mode after early strikes rock India

Live Cricket Updates India vs Australia, 1st ODI: Hello and welcome to our live blog of the 1st ODI between India vs Australia from the Sydney Cricket Ground. On the whole, if you look at the toss, India losing it on a flat deck, where at least 350 is required to win, conceding 288 - is not that bad from the visiting team's perspective. The opening bowlers started off well, keeping the pressure on, reducing Australia to 41/2 inside the Powerplay but then a fightback was witnessed. It is a flat deck and conceding 288 will not worry India too much. Bhuvneshwar and Khaleel's performance will, though. Shami's returns on comeback were excellent and he adds another death bowler option to India's arsenal at the World Cup, but in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, the rest of the bowlers clearly struggled for an inspiration.
