New batter Suryakumar Yadav hammered Nortje for back-to-back two sixes in the 7th over innings. After 10 over India’s score read 47/2. Suryakumar along with KL Rahul played a sensible knock while gathering boundaries at regular intervals.

Here’s how Twitterati reacted to India’s victory:
Batting clicked vs Australia, so it was good to see the bowlers step up at the start of a new series. This was a complete team bowling effort.
PS: Team should buy Rohit dinner for winning this imp toss. Batting first here wouldn’t have been ideal ???? #INDvSA

A win is a win but it was a seriously dull game of t20 cricket. Ball dominating over bat was the story of the game. It was a tough pitch to bat on and thankfully SKY gave some fireworks to the huge crowd that turned up today. #INDvsSA
