India won the toss and elected to bat first. Mitchell Starc had his moment when he swung the ball back into Yashasvi Jaiswal and got him out on the very first ball of the match. Starc’s reaction says he hasn’t forgotten what Jaiswal has said to him in Perth.
KL Rahul and Shubman Gill have applied themselves well and stitched a 69-run stand for the 2nd wicket.
