India vs Australia Highlights, World Cup 2023: Kohli, KL Rahul power IND to six wickets win

India vs Australia Highlights, World Cup 2023: Virat Kohli and KL Rahul produced yet another masterclass as India kicked-off the World Cup 2023 campaign with a six-wicket win against Australia in Chennai on Sunday. Rahul returned unbeaten on 97(115), while Kohli slammed 85(116) as the pair stitched a crucial 165(215)-run stand for the fourth wicket after India were reduced to 2-3 in the second over. Riding on their efforts India completed the 200-run chase with 9.4 overs to spare.

Meanwhile, the Indian spin trio comprising Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, and Kuldeep Yadav too helped India’s cause by restricting Australia to a paltry 199/10 in 49.3 overs. Jadeja took three wickets for 28 runs, with two of those coming in the same over. Kuldeep took two while Ravichandran Ashwin took one.
