23:16 (IST)

That's all we have for you from this game. We will be back with LIVE coverage of the second T20Ib between India and Australia in Trivandrum on Sunday. Until then, on behalf ofv my colleagues here at Firstpost, this is Vishnu signing off. Good night!

Suryakumar Yadav is the Player of the Match for his match-winning 80 

22:54 (IST)

After 19.5 overs,India 209/8 ( Rinku Singh 22 , Mukesh Kumar 0)

DONE AND DUSTED! Phew, that was a nervy chase indeed from India. With one run from one ball with two wickets in hand, the match could have gone either way. It could have even gone into a Super Over but Rinku Singh stayed there till the end. Abbott, however, overstepped in the fifth ball of the over, and it was that costly mistake from the pacer that took India home. But, credit to Rinku, who stayed there till the very end, taking the game deep even when things were falling apart. India take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. 

22:42 (IST)

OUT! Ravi Bishnoi is out at the bowlers' end. No, this is not India needed with just a couple runs away from victory. However, the biggest positive is that Rinku Singh will be on strike for the next ball. Can he do it?  Ravi Bishnoi run out (Wade/Abbott) 0 Ravi Bishnoi run out (Wade/Abbott) 0

OH NO! What has Axar Patel done? He looks to go big, very big but ends up holing out to Sean Abbott, the bowler himself. Seems like Axar has thrown away his wicket. Axar c and b Abbott 2

21:51 (IST)

After 11 overs,India 114/2 ( Ishan Kishan (W) 40 , Suryakumar Yadav (C) 46)

Marcus Stoinis continues. In the second ball of the over, SKY looks to loft over fine leg, but ends up getting a top edge that flew towards the third man fence. Eight runs off the over. 

21:45 (IST)

After 10 overs,India 106/2 ( Ishan Kishan (W) 39 , Suryakumar Yadav (C) 40)

Sean Abbott continues. No boundaries this over, but Abbott concedes three wides that has hurt Australia even more. Kishan collects a couple of runs, punching it down the ground where long-on saves a boundary. Eight off the over. 

21:32 (IST)

After 8 overs,India 79/2 ( Ishan Kishan (W) 19 , Suryakumar Yadav (C) 37)

Behrendorff continues. Suryakumar collects another boundary this over, but that doesn't come without risk. It was a wide of off ball from Behrendorff, and SKY went for the drive but ended up getting an edge that flew past the keeper towards the boundary fence. 10 off the over. 

21:29 (IST)

Sean Abbott into the attack. He gets punished for a six by Ishan Kishan, apart from a four and a six by Suryakumar Yadav. SKY's the limit for Surya, at least that's what it looks like at the moment. India will hope for a big knock from its new skipper. 

21:15 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE 

SIX! A typical Suryakumar shot. Back of a length ball from Behrendorff, and SKY nails the pull over deep fine leg fence for a six. India needed something like this.

21:05 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE 

OUT! A terrible, terrible mix-up that ends with Ruturaj Gaikwad making the long way back to the pavilion. Jaiswal sets off for what is an easy single, and he returns for a second run but midway through he realises it's a risky move. Gaikwad meanwhile is too late to discover this and is eventually run out and even though Wade did fumbl;e a bit, he still got time to whip the bals off as Gaikwad was far away from safety,.Gaikwad run out (Nathan Ellis/Wade) 0

20:54 (IST)

IND vs AUS LIVE 

FOUR! A powerful start to the chase from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who drives past mid-off for four runs. 

20:43 (IST)

After 20 overs,Australia 208/3 ( Marcus Stoinis 7 , Tim David 19)

Mukesh Kumar bowls the final over of the innings. The second ball is a yorker from Mukesh to David and SKY goes for the review. Replays show that the ball was missing leg stump despite hitting David's front leg. Not out it remains. A good last over, with just five runs coming off it. Australia finish with a total of 208/3 from 20 overs. The major highlight has been that of Josh Inglis' century, and India would hope to take inspiration from that as they look to chase down a target of 209. 

20:33 (IST)

SIX! Arshdeep with the wide yorker, and Tim David opens the face of the bat a bit to smash this over extra cover.

Here's a look at India and Australia T20I squads 

Squads:

India: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Ruturaj Gaikwad (vc), Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar. Shreyas Iyer (4th and 5th T20Is)

18:02 (IST)

It's a new-look Team India T20I side this time around with Suryakumar Yadav leading the side. He is leading the Men in Blue in the absence of injured skipper Hardik Pandya. However, the squad did have its fair share of issues with Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson missing out. Amit Banerjee analyses the squad. 

17:53 (IST)

The T20I series is the final leg of Australia’s long tour of India that will exceed the two-month mark by the time it comes to an end, and will give the visitors little time to celebrate their sixth ODI world title. For the Indians, however, the series is a chance to bury the disappointment of falling short of an ICC title yet again and focus on the road ahead under a different leadership.
