India vs Australia 2017, 1st ODI: 5 things we learnt from the match

#1 Wrist spinners likely to keep Jadeja on the bench

Chahal returned with impressive figures of 3/30

India went into the game with both their wrist spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, and the duo repaid the faith of their skipper with a combined haul of five wickets. Kuldeep was taken to the cleaners by a rampant Maxwell, but the chinaman got his act together when he sent back Marcus Stoinis to add to his earlier scalp of David Warner.

Chahal, on the other hand, was even more impressive, mixing up his leg-spinners and googlies with immaculate control. He sent back the volatile Maxwell, before running through Australia's lower order to finish with 3/30. Jadeja, who replaced an injured Axar Patel, is likely to remain on the bench at least for the next game if these two keep bowling as well as today.
