It was a forgettable night for the Indian cricket team on Tuesday as they lost the first T20I by four wickets against Australia in Mohali. Despite putting up a big total of 208/6, the Rohit Sharma-led side failed to defend the score as Australia romped to the target in 19.2 overs. The team's main fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-0-52-0) and Harshal Patel (4-0-49-0) conceded 101 runs in eight overs. For most part, India were left frustrated as they desperately searched for wickets. India skipper Rohit Sharma also was left frustrated too with the way the match progressed.

KL Rahul (55 off 35 balls) and Hardik Pandya (71 not out off 30) helped India post a daunting 208 for six after Australia put the hosts in to bat. Scorecard | As it happenedAustralia were dominant in the run chase, romping home in 19.2 overs. Last year's World Cup hero Matthew Wade (45 not out off 21) and Cameron Green (61 off 30) played special knocks to make short work of a stiff target. It was a formidable total but the way Australia started, an early finish was on the cards. Opening for the first time in international cricket, Green was in a menacing mood as he hammered comeback man Umesh Yadav for four successive boundaries in his first T20 since February 2019. The seasoned Indian pacer felt the heat straightaway, and resorted to bowling slower balls in his very first over, which did not work.
India vs Australia 1st T20I LIVE Updates:Jasprit Bumrah's return to international cricket as he will not be playing the match at Mohali. Rohit Sharma informed at the toss that the premier paceman will be availabe for the second and third T20Is. Australia captain Aaron Finch has won the toss and opted to bowl against India on Tuesday. No outing for Rishabh Pant too as Dinesh Karthik has been picked. Umesh Yadav has been given a go in Bumrah's absence. Tim David will be making his T20I debut for Australia. The match begins India's final phase of preparation ahead of the T20 World Cup. After a disappointing T20 Asia Cup campaign in UAE, Rohit Sharma-led Team India hosts Australia in a three-match T20I series. The hosts will aim for an early lead in the series to get back on the track. On the other hand, Australia have arrived in India after clean sweeping New Zealand 3-0 in an ODI series. They played their most recent T20I series in July -- a three-match affair against Sri Lanka that Australia won 2-1. Australia will be playing the series against India without some of their key players, yet both the sides will look this series as a good opportunity to find a balanced squad ahead of T20 World Cup 2022.
