India fell in a tricky spot in the first ODI against Australia in Mumbai on Friday, but a responsible 108*-run stand between KL Rahul (75*) and Ravindra Jadeja (45*) saw the hosts chase down a 189-run target in 39.5 overs, despite being 39/4 at one stage. India were being led by Hardik Pandya in the match with Rohit Sharma missing the game due to a personal commitment. Pandya took the crucial wicket of Steve Smith and then scored a crucial 25 off 31 balls after the Indian top-order had faltered. There was point in his innings when he faced a free-hit delivery from Marcus Stoinis in the 18th over. pic.twitter.com/SAyHtsHCFG
Pandya mistimed his pull off the free-hit delivery, which was a slower one, and it resulted in one run. After the delivery, the TV cameras showed Virat Kohli reacting in a quite animated way. It is not clear why Kohli was a bit agitated.
