India vs Australia 1st ODI Live Updates: It’s over! Warner hits a boundary to take his team to the victory line. A 258-run opening partnership between Finch and Warner takes Australia to a comprehensive 10-wicket win in the first ODI. They take a 1-0 lead in the series. India have been completely decimated today. One of the worst losses ever. Preview: After back-to-back T20I series, the attention shifts to the 50-over format as the ODI series between India and Australia kicks off in Mumbai on Tuesday (14 January). The series will mark the return of regular vice-captain Rohit Sharma who was rested for the T20I series against Sri Lanka. This is a very strong Australian ODI outfit visiting India, led by Aaron Finch, who has shaped into an able leader since taking the reins from then banned Steve Smith. One can say that most of the Australian players feel at home in India and conditions and pitch would not really bother them. Courtesy the Indian Premier League (IPL), they spend at least a month playing in the league across the country in different stadiums. Finch, David Warner, Steve Smith, Ashton Turner and Pat Cummins are some of the IPL regulars and their experience of playing in Indian conditions will be very handy for the visitors. Despite such a star-studded squad, most focus will be on Marnus Labuschagne, who has been a phenomenon in Tests since coming in as concussion substitute for Steve Smith during the Ashes. He is expected to feature in the playing XI in Mumbai in the first ODI. India will be bolstered by the comeback of Jasprit Bumrah to the ODI setup as well. After almost a four-month layoff due to back injury, Bumrah made his comeback in the T20I series where he did well. Bowling 10-over spell will test his fitness further and get him into ODI groove as well. India have a pretty strong squad in place. But they do have a sweet headache to take care of. And that is KL Rahul. Given the form that he is in, it is going to be very difficult to ask him to warm the bench but that will mean resting Shikhar Dhawan who has not so bad to get dropped. Also, dropping Dhawan means team management plays unnecessarily with well-settled opening combination. So does Rahul play at No. 4? If that happens, would he be as successful? Is it justice for Shreyas Iyer who has been so good at No. 4 recently? Does Kohli go back at No. 4? There are many questions that the Indian team management will have to answer on 14 January. Nevertheless, it is a great headache to have for any team. Squads: India Team Players: Shikhar Dhawan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shivam Dube, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (wk), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah Navdeep Saini, Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Kedar Jadhav Australia team players: Aaron Finch (c), Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins, Ashton Agar, Peter Handscomb, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, Kane Richardson, D’Arcy Short, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Ashton Turner, David Warner, Adam Zampa

David Warner is the Man of the Match!
Warner: I’ve always had the hunger and desire to put my best foot forward for the team. We got off to a flier with Finchy and myself, and (we had to) just hang in there. For us in the middle period it’s about rotating the strike, try and hit a boundary and exerting some pressure. It’s about hanging in there. For me it’s about putting in a hundred percent effort all the time. I really do everything at a hundred percent.

Australia have been magnificent. With bat, and especially with ball. For India, a game to forget.

They take a 1-0 lead in the series. India have been completely decimated today. One of the worst losses ever.
After 38 overs,Australia 258/0 ( David Warner 128 , Aaron Finch (C) 110)
After 37 overs,Australia 249/0 ( David Warner 120 , Aaron Finch (C) 110)
Jadeja continues. Five off this over as Warner and Finch continue to rotate the strike. We are just seven runs away from Australia winning the match.
After 36 overs,Australia 244/0 ( David Warner 116 , Aaron Finch (C) 109)
Shami back into attack. It has been a batting exhibition today by the Aussie openers. It’s a good pitch to bat and they have made most of it with beautiful shots. Eight off this over with a boundary for Finch who showed some great deft touch to guide the wide of off delivery to third man fence. We are nearing the end now.
After 35 overs,Australia 236/0 ( David Warner 115 , Aaron Finch (C) 102)
Jadeja continues. Finch sees the opportunity and plays the sweep shot fine to score a boundary which also takes him to his century. He celebrates by taking off his helmet. This is his 16th ODI ton. Seven off the over.
MILESTONE ALERT:
— This is the first ever instance of both the openers scoring a century in a same innings while chasing against India in ODIs.
— This is now the highest stand for Australia against India in ODIs, going past 242 runs’ stand between George Bailey and Steve Smith. They did it at Perth in 2016 for the third wicket.
After 34 overs,Australia 229/0 ( David Warner 114 , Aaron Finch (C) 96)
Kuldeep has been spared this time, thanks to him sticking to the tight lines. Just three singles came from the over. Australia now just need 27 in the remaining 96 deliveries.
After 33 overs,Australia 226/0 ( David Warner 113 , Aaron Finch (C) 94)
Every Indian bowler has been taken to the cleaners today. Even Bumrah has not be spared. 11 off the over with Warner slamming two boundaries on the last two deliveries. He moved back a bit to crash the short ball past cover fielders for the first boundary before driving the slower ball away from mid off fielder for the same result.
Did you know?
This is now the highest stand against India in India in ODIs while chasing, going past 218 runs stand between Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer (at Chennai in 2019 for the second wicket).
After 32 overs,Australia 215/0 ( David Warner 104 , Aaron Finch (C) 92)
Kuldeep continues. Massive six in the over for Finch as he gets closer to his ton. He picked the googly this time and dispatched it over long on boundary for a biggie. 10 off the over as Australia race towards the target.
A one-sided start so far to a highly-anticipated battle of the top dogs
Kind of thrashing that India haven't seen in many years. Australia superb in the field and even better in chasing modest target. Warner's got to a ton, Finch should too if he doesn't make an unforced error, the packed house has been reduced to disbelieving silence at the rout

Most centuries for Australia in ODIs:
29 : Ricky Ponting
18 : Mark Waugh, DAVID WARNER*
16 : Adam Gilchrist
After 31 overs,Australia 205/0 ( David Warner 104 , Aaron Finch (C) 83)
Bumrah back into attack. The great Warner brings up his century with a fantastic shot towards third man for a boundary. Celebrates with the typical jump and fist-pump. His 18th ODI ton. Adds another boundary in the over as he slams the fuller delivery downtown. Eight off the over.
After 30 overs,Australia 197/0 ( David Warner 96 , Aaron Finch (C) 83)
Kuldeep back into attack. Things are a mere formality now with Indians lacking all the necessary fizz. Eight off the over including a boundary for Warner who planted himself on back foot to slam the short ball to cover fence.
After 29 overs,Australia 189/0 ( David Warner 90 , Aaron Finch (C) 81)
Just two runs from Jadeja’s over which also had him partly dismissing Warner. The opener was given out lbw but he immediately reviewed it and got the decision overturned as there was an inside edge. India’s happiness was cut short within seconds.
REVIEW AND NOT OUT!
Jadeja and co are celebrating after dismissing Warner. But the opener quickly reviews the lbw decision and UltraEdge shows he had inside-edged it.
After 28 overs,Australia 187/0 ( David Warner 89 , Aaron Finch (C) 81)
So the boundary delivery arrived in this over. After taking few singles and a leg bye, Warner was presented with a misdirected bouncer from Shardul which the opener swiftly tucked away to the fine leg fence, Eight off the over. Aussies need just 69 more from remaining 22 overs.
After 27 overs,Australia 179/0 ( David Warner 83 , Aaron Finch (C) 80)
Jadeja continues. There’s no pressure on the Aussie batsmen here and there’s no need for them to take any risk. They are waiting for the bad deliveries and till the time it arrives, they are happy to deal in singles as they did in the over. Four off the over.
After 26 overs,Australia 176/0 ( David Warner 82 , Aaron Finch (C) 79)
Another bowling change. Shardul replaces Shami. Starts off with a wide but finishes on a decent note as Aussie batsman rotate the strike to keep things moving. Four off the over.
After 25 overs,Australia 173/0 ( David Warner 81 , Aaron Finch (C) 77)
Jadeja into the attack now. Six off the over with a boundary for Warner. He was looking to play a drive as Jadeja tossed up the ball, it spun back in, took the inside edge and ran past the keeper for a boundary.
