IND vs AUS: Victory in Mohali became historic, India became only the second country to achieve this milestone in men's cricket

Team India's picture was a super hit in the first ODI against Australia. Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, the Indian team performed strongly and made the Kangaroo team defeat by 5 wickets. This victory in Mohali was very special for Team India. With this victory, the Indian team has become number one in all three formats of cricket.

The Indian team is only the second team in the world to become number one in all three formats in the history of men's cricket. Before India, only South Africa could achieve this position. South Africa was number one in all three formats in the year 2012. India ended Pakistan's dominance in ODI cricket and captured the number one position. However, to retain the number one crown, India will have to win one of the next two ODI matches.

Mohammed Shami appeared to be in excellent form with the new ball and showed the way to the pavilion cheaply to Mitchell Marsh who was in excellent form. At the same time, Shami also defeated Australia's most reliable batsman Steve Smith in ODI cricket. Marcus Stoinis was clean bowled by the Indian fast bowler and sent to the pavilion, while Matthew Short and Sean Abbott also looked helpless in front of Shami's speed. Shami single-handedly bowled out half of Australia's innings, conceding 51 runs in his 10-over spell.

Due to the excellent bowling of Mohammed Shami, the Indian team restricted Australia to 276 runs in the first ODI. Team India easily achieved the target of 277 runs given by Australia by losing 5 wickets in 48.4 overs. On behalf of the team, Ruturaj Gaikwad played a strong inning of 71 runs and Shubhman Gill played a strong inning of 74 runs. At the same time, captain KL Rahul remained unbeaten after scoring 58 runs, while Suryakumar Yadav also scored a half-century.
