India Vs Australia, 1st ODI: Calm Dhoni, Jadhav partnership propels hosts to a big win over Aussies - As it happened

Kedar Jadhav, named the Man of the Match: Talking about his bowling he said, "My bowling is all about reading batsmen's mind. I tried to bowl stump-to-stump. I don't think like I'm a bowler." On his batting, "I enjoy my responsibility. Recently in Australia, we pulled off a similar kind of chase. I just did that again today. I tried to learn a lot from him (MS). MS and Cheeku are the best chasers in the game. That's what we learn from the captain and that's what we tried to do. I would have tried to play more shots early. That's waht he does, he tells you exactly. He reads your mind; plenty of times when you feel this ball can be hit for boundaries, he'll tell you 'the team needs more solidity and you have to bat till the end'. Every time you think of the team, most of the times, you'll end up on the winning side."

Virat Kohli: It was a difficult sort of a game. We did a good job with the ball. You have experience with MS and flair with Kedar. I think Kedar and MS took responsibility, it was great. Ten overs for less than 35 is a great job on this pitch. He set his fields on his game. He was all geared up that 'I want to finish the game.' Kuldeep's been doing it for a while. I have never seen him (Shami) so lean. Got Maxi out with a beautiful ball. Heading into the WC, it's a great sign for India.

Aaron Finch: I think we were 20 or 30 runs short. I thought our bowlers did a terrific job. It's not as if they are trying to get out. We certainly tried our best with the ball. I think the quick were good when they were banging it in. You have to continue taking wickets when you play against good teams.

India have already won 3 ODIs this year without any of the top-3 making 50+. Dhoni averages 65+ when India's top-three fail to score.

Dhoni is having quite a year!

SIX!!! Kedar Jadhav dispatches Coulter-Nile for a maximum over long-on. India need 5 more from 12 deliveries to win this one.

Fifty! MS Dhoni brings up 71st ODI half-century off 68 deliveries and the crowd erupts to a huge cheer. Dhoni gets a standing ovation from the crowd at Hyderabad. He's held the innings together. This is his fourth ODI fifty against Australia this year in as many matches.

Fifty for Kedar Jadhav off 67 deliveries. Another vital knock from the right hander. India need 43 from 42 balls. This run chase seems to be going down the wire.

Four! Kedar Jadhav ends Pat Cummins' over with a short-arm jab and the ball races towards the long-on boundary. India 182/4 after 41 overs. India would need more such boundaries to ease the pressure off in the run chase. 55 runs needed from 54 balls.

Miscued shot from Dhoni as Stoinis caught it at mid-on and went upstairs. The replays confirmed it was a bump catch. Huge cheer in the crowd as the giant screen confirmed the batsman was safe. Dhoni then got another boundary in that over as India got 10 from it. India - 168/4 after 38 overs. 69 required from 72 balls.

SIX!! MS Dhoni hammers Coulter-Nile over long-on for a maximum.

Four! MS Dhoni gets a boundary towards fine leg region off Behrendorff. These two have upped the ante to ensure the asking rate revolves around 6 and not beyond it. India 157/4.

Fifty-partnership between Dhoni and Kedar off 72 balls. 150 also comes up for India in the run chase.

Four! Kedar Jadhav pulls the short-pitched delivery from Marcus Stoinis over midwicket for a boundary. He dug deep into the crease and dispatched it towards the fence. 6 runs came from that over India are 139/4 after 34 overs.

This is not the easiest surface to bat on. Good to see a 230-240 game sometimes. Dhoni territory.

Lucky! The short-pitched delivery from Stoinis took Dhoni by surprise but the bowler couldn't catch the ball as it landed short of him. India are 131/4 after 32 overs.

India 127/4 after 31 overs. Last 5 overs have yielded just 17 runs to the Indians.

Four! Kedar Jadhav ends Zampa's over with a lofted shot over long-off region for a boundary. India - 121/4 in 29 overs. The required rate has climbed to 5.52 per over as India need 116 from 126 deliveries.

Four! Kedar Jadhav picks his spot well and sends the loose delivery from Adam Zampa towards midwicket region for a boundary. This must have eased the pressure.
