Earlier in the day, it was skipper Virat Kohli who won the toss as India elected to bat first. While India made no changes in the playing XI from the last game, Australia executed two. James Faulkner made way for Kane Richardson while Ashton Agar replaced Adam Zampa.
India didn’t have a great start as Rohit Sharma was back to the pavilion owing to a soft dismissal. Captain Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane then combined for a splendid 102-run partnership for the second wicket. While Rahane got run out after completing his half century, Kohli continued to bat brilliantly even after scoring his 46th half century.
Manish Pandey again failed to prolong his stay at the crease. Kedhar Jadhav who came in at No.5 looked really good for the time he spent at the crease. He and Kohli combined for a fifty plus partnership before Jadhav was dismissed. Just when Kohli was nearing his 31st ODI hundred, he was bowled by Nathan Coulter-Nile as a result on an inside edge. It was a rare nervous ninety for the skipper.
Here are some of the amazing Twitter reactions that emerged during the first innings:

Important innings for #Ajinkyarahane in the larger picture it seemed Runout was the only way to get out, and it does happen…#INDvAUS

Ajinkya Rahane compiling a fabulously fluent innings.. stunning drives and now a cut! Hope he kicks on and won't succumb to a soft dismissal

From being jinxed to jinxing bowlers, Ajinkya Rahane in prime form. Glorious cover drives. #Fifty #INDvAUS ?

@BhuviOfficial Bats studiously. Keeps the idea of being the middle for longer time. Uncommon with Indian strike bowlers.#IndiaVsAustralia

Even Kedar Jadhav couldn't wait to watch Dhoni playing.?

Kedhar Jadhav once again showing zero responsibility. So much talent in the Indian coffers and this useless midget keeps getting picked.

Kedar Jadhav must be feeling like Rajpal Yadav when running with Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. #INDvAUS

This is what happen when Dhoni will not be in the team. We are struggling in the death overs. Dhoni is backbone of team India #INDvAUS

The astonishing ability to build the innings makes Kohli a very dangerous player.#INDvAUS

Kohli out in the 90s. One more proof that he's the next Sachin. #INDvAUS

You have to give it to Kohli for navigating through a couple of testing spells early on and compiling another substantial score.
