The Australian cricket team sent Australia into a frenzy after seizing the first One-Day international against India. With all of Australia's batting efforts, they seemed destined to do another upset for India.

But once India's "batting maestros" stomped in responding against Australia's best, team India clocked in a total 359 runs.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan registered in the first wicket a 172-run stand setting up a solid start for the Indian cricket team. James Faulkner however dismissed Shikhar Dhawan denying the man a well deserved score of 100.

Australia tried to get their act together after the first wicket but the game became more difficult for Australia as Virat Kohli walked in.The Delhi native managed a 52-ball hundred breaking Virender Sehwag's fastest hundred.

While Kohli was preoccupied with the game, teammate Sharma was also on form slamming innings of 144 runs sealing the win for the Indian cricket team. The Indian win hit Twitter by Storm Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, the Indian cricket team played football at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Dhoni and his team showed off their football skills before the big game against Australia.

With Australia winning the first match held in Pune Sunday, Oct. 13 by a 72-run margin, the Indian team was determined to bounce back.
