Here are highlights of the first T20 between India and Australia in Ranchi.
Coming on the back of a comfortable five-match ODI series win, India aimed to extend their dominance over Australia when the two sides headed into the opening T20I of the three-match series in Ranchi on Saturday.
And the Virat Kohli-led side did exactly that, cruising to a nine-wicket victory in a rain-affected game.
David Warner's Australia were reduced to 118/8 after 18.4 overs when rain took over in Ranchi. After a two-hour break, India were set a target of 48 from 6 overs (DLS) which they achieved comfortably.
Kuldeep Yadav, for his brilliant spell of 2 for 16 off his 4 overs, was rightly declared the Man of the Match.

AUS - 25/1 after 3 overs.
'19:08
Poor delivery from Jasprit Bumrah, short and wide.
