India had a great start to the World Cup. But Rohit Sharma was also feared to be in danger. The way Australia started the bowling even with a small target, there was a fear of India being bowled out with few runs. But Lokesh Rahul and Virat Kohli brought victory to the team under pressure.

India defeated Australia by 6 wickets in their first match of the World Cup in Chippewa on Sunday (October 8).

Australia set a target of 200 runs to India by batting at the beginning. But chasing a small target, the Indians lost 3 wickets to score 2 runs. From there, Rahul and Kohli scored a 165-run partnership to win the team. Both went close to century but neither could touch the magical figure of three.
