IND Vs AUS 1st T20I: Josh Inglis Hits 47-Ball Century, Registers His Maiden International Hundred

The Aussie reached the triple figure mark in mere 47 deliveries after he brought up his fifty in just 29 balls. He was eventually out for 110 off Prasidh Krishna's bowling.

Inglis was fooled by a slower ball and he sweeped across the line but he didn't get the momentum he required as Yashasvi Jaiswal holed it out in the deep midwicket region.

With his ton, Inglis became the fifth Australian to score a T20I hundred.

Earlier, India's Suryakumar Yadav opted to bowl first on a placid track against Australia.

Speaking at the toss Surya said, "We will bowl first. The wicket looks good, dew should come later and should make the pitch better. It's a little difficult, but there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Lots of positives and looking forward to the series. The guys have played a lot of franchise and domestic cricket, just told them to express and enjoy themselves. Washington, Shivam and Avesh are sitting out."

Wade too stated that he would have bowled. "We would have bowled first as well, looks a bit tacky and dew could come later. Always an opportunity for young players to play in India, just around 10-12 matches for the next WC and we're looking forward to it. Some WC guys are resting - Maxwell, Zampa and Head are not playing tonight."
