India vs Australia 1st T20 Highlights: Natarajan, Chahal's three-fors; Rahul-Jadeja exploits hand India 11-run win

Virat Kohli: There were no plans of having Yuzi in the game. Concussion replacements are a strange thing. Today, it worked for us. Yuzi showed character to squeeze the opponents. I thought they had a great start. They were cruising. The batters offered us a few wickets. That is T20 cricket for you. In Australia, you need to play hard and show intensity till the end. He batted beautifully in the last game. Natarajan looks like he can improve a lot. Chahar bowled well as well. Chahal got us back in the game. Hardik's catch was a game-changer as well.

Aaron Finch: The injury got progressively worse as the game went on (about his injury to the hip). Their doctor had ruled Jadeja out due to concussion. You can't be challenging a medical expert's opinion. We probably leaked too may runs at the death. Then while chasing, we didn't hit too many boundaries in the 6-over period.

Yuzvendra Chahal, Player of the Match: I have played so many games and was mentally fit. 10-15 minutes before the start of the innings, I got to know I will play. The way Zampa bowled, I tried to do the same as well. It was a little harder to score in the first innings. 150-160 is a good score on this wicket. I bowled according to my plans.

It's all over! India beat Australia by 11 runs and go 1-0 up in the three-match series. This is Team India's 9th consecutive T20I win.

What a debut for T Natarajan as he finishes with figures of 4-0-30-3.

After 19 overs, Australia reach 135/7. 27 needed from 6 balls. Shami to bowl the final over for India.

Wicket! Mitchell Starc (1) has been bowled by T Natarajan! That was a yorker! Australia - 127/7 in 18.1 overs.

Natarajan picks up his third wicket as Starc is bowled out for 1.

DRS! Moises Henriques goes upstairs immediately after umpire rules him LBW off Deepak Chahar. Surprisingly, it was the wicketkeeper KL Rahul who appealed. But the ball tracking confirmed in favour of the fielding side. Moises departs for 30. Australia 127/6 in 17.5 overs.

Just 3 runs conceded by Washington Sundar from that over and Australia reach 116/4 in 16 overs. Sundar finishes his quota of 4 overs with just 16 runs. Matthew Wade and Moises Henriques will be key for the hosts.

Wicket! D'Arcy Short (34) mistimes Natarajan's delivery in the slot and Hardik Pandya takes another fine catch. Australia - 113/4 after 15 overs.
