India toured Australia for a 5-match ODI and a 3-match T20I series in January, 2016. The WACA was the host of the first ODI where MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first. Shikhar Dhawan, the Indian opener was dismissed early. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma put together a partnership of 207. India finished with a score of 309 with Rohit Sharma scoring 171*.

The Indian bowlers chipped off the Aussie openers.

Captain Steve Smith walked in at number 3, scored 149 before getting dismissed by the young Indian debutant Barinder Sran.

The legend in the making looked graceful when he shuffled across the stumps to punch the Indian pacers through the covers or to flick through the mid-wicket. He was accompanied by George Bailey who scored 112. Australia won the game in the last over.
