India vs Australia LIVE Score, 1st ODI: 'Captain' Hardik Pandya Looks To Impress Against Australia

After a 2-1 triumph in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India shift their focus to the 3-match ODI series against Australia that could set the precedent for future. With Rohit Sharma out of the first ODI due to family commitments, Hardik Pandya has been given the responsibility to lead the team.

Other than Rohit, Shreyas Iyer is also out of the match, as well as the entire series, though no replacement of his has been named yet. For Australia, there remains a big change as Steve Smith has been given the team's baton in the absence of Pat Cummins who remains home following the death of his mother.
