India vs Australia 1st ODI Live: KL Rahul Falls For 38, India Struggle At 136/9 In 26 Overs

India vs Australia 1st ODI Live: After winning the toss, India batted first against Australia in the rain-shortened first ODI in Perth on Sunday, reaching a score of 136/9. The match had to be reduced to a 26-over-a-side contest after the fourth rain delay. After the rain, Axar Patel (31 runs off 38 balls) and KL Rahul (38 runs off 31 balls) provided some momentum to aid India's innings, resulting in a below-average first-innings score given their lack of runs early in the innings.

Kohli fell first for an eight-ball duck to Mitchell Starc, and Rohit was out for eight runs to Josh Hazlewood.

For Australia, left-arm spinner Matthew Kunhemann (2/13), Josh Hazlewood (2/20), and Mitchell Owen (2/20) took two wickets each. Australia needs 131 runs to win under DLS conditions.
