Skipper Virat Kohli played a sweet cameo after yet another impressive show by the bowling unit as India comfortably beat Australia by nine wickets in a rain-curtailed opening T20 International, here on Saturday. It was the seventh consecutive win for India in the shortest format having lost against the Aussies, way back in 2012 at Dhaka in the ICC World T20.
