Earlier, India won the toss and opted to field first against Australia in the first game of the three-match ODI series. Stand-in-skipper Hardik Pandya said dew could be a factor later in the day. He said India has done well batting first so far and it was time to challenge his team by chasing a target.
India included two spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI while Shubman Gill will open with Ishan Kishan. Australia captain Steve Smith said he would have opted to bat first considering the heat. He informed that Alex Carey is sick and has gone back home, making way for Josh Inglis in the playing XI.
David Warner was also left out as he is not 100 percent fit. Mitchell Marsh will open the innings in his place.
