India managed to post just 338 runs while chasing a daunting total of 389 runs.

While Warner departed after scoring 69, Finch stayed in the middle to notch up his 17th ODI hundred. The skipper, leading from the front, scored 114 off 124 deliveries.

Virat Kohli's men started exactly on a note they wouldn't have liked, giving away 374 runs in 50 overs with rival captain Aaron Finch (114 off 124 balls) and his illustrious predecessor Steve Smith (105 off 66 balls) hitting contrasting hundreds.

South Africa's Hashim Amla is the quickest to reach the 5,000-run landmark in ODIs, having taken 101 innings.

Earlier in the innings, Finch reached his 28th half-century in the 19th over.

Kohli's men now kick-start their international calendar in a series where a lot of probing questions are expected to be asked.

In the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL), Finch scored 268 runs in 12 matches at an average of just over 22.

Finch got an opportunity to play his first Test only a couple of years ago at the age of 32.

 The Australian team will do a 'barefoot circle' when they take the field against India in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.

The in-form Mayank Agarwal is likely to open with Shikhar Dhawan in Rohit's absence in the ODI series beginning Friday.

Australian skipper and his RCB teammate Aaron Finch opines that his Indian counterpart doesn't have many weaknesses and that Oz have to find ways to get him out.

Despite being equipped with a star-studded squad, RCB have often been criticized for not laying hands on the silverware.

‘Kings XI Punjab’s 10 crore cheerleader’ Glenn Maxwell and ‘homemade pipe gun’ Dale Steyn top Sehwag's notorious bill.

Towards the fag end of RCB's chase, when all in the dugout wore a tensed face, the camera spotted Finch 'vaping' in the dressing room. The video immediately went viral

DC spinner says he let off RCB batsman Aaron Finch with a warning because he is an old friend from KXIP days.

Ponting might be delighted, but Ashwin later tweeted to clarify that this was his final warning to batters this season and that he would not refrain from Mankading them if caught outside the non-striker's crease the next time

It was in the second over the game when Ashwin, bowling to Devdutt Padikkal, stopped whilst his action to catch Finch well outside the crease. Ashwin had all the time in the world to run out Finch, but he only left him with a warning.

Steve Smith, other present and former Aussie stars mourn his death, Jason Gillespie and Darren Lehmann change Twitter profile pics to that of Jones.

The Aussie opener reckons that the last three games including the game at Sharjah, there was more dew than expected as RCB gear up to face Kings XI Punjab in Dubai on Thursday.

While players from the England and West Indies teams took the symbolic position on the field before the start of every match in their three-Test series in July, the same has not happened during Australia's tour of England.
