Kohli contributed 85 runs, while the wicketkeeper-batsman Rahul amassed 97 runs, leading their side to a crucial victory.

However, in the eighth over, Mitchell Marsh dropped Kohli’s catch when he was on 12, granting the 34-year-old a second chance after an initial scare.
Batting first, Australia was limited to a total of 199 runs thanks to a superb bowling performance by Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.
These two spinners shared five wickets between them, with Jadeja claiming three, and Yadav securing two for himself.
It was a comprehensive and dominant display by the Indian bowling unit, with all six bowlers chipping in with at least one wicket.
