India vs Australia 2019, 1st ODI: Player Ratings

​

Kedar Jadhav was named Player of the Match for his superb

all-round

performance.

Looking to bounce back after suffering a setback in T20I series, the Indian team took on Australia in the 1st ODI of the 5-match ODI series at Hyderabad.

Australian skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and decided to bat first. However, Finch's decision to bat first backfired as Indian bowlers restricted Australia to a modest total of 236/7 in the allotted 50 overs.

Chasing 237, the Australian bowlers had Indian team reeling at 99/4 in 24 overs. But, half-centuries from MS Dhoni and Kedhar Jadhav ensured that India reached home safely without any further hiccups.

With the match done and dusted, let's see how the players from both sides fared in this encounter.
