India vs Australia 1st ODI stats review: From MS Dhoni's impressive 2019 to Jasprit Bumrah's rare off day

Kedar Jadhav and Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored patient half-centuries and stayed at the crease to help India beat Australia by six wickets in their first one-day international on Saturday. Australia won the toss and decided to bat at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium as the teams began to mark the home stretch for the 50-over World Cup later this year. But the decision didn’t pay off as India finished on 240-4 in 48.2 overs in reply to Australia’s 236-7.
