Coulter-Nile drops short and down the leg side as Rahul pulls it over the short fine leg fielder for a four and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Change of ends for Richardson. Rahul cuts loose as he pulls a short ball from the pacer over the fine leg region for a six. The next ball is full and wide as Rahul slams it over the off-side for another six and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Pat Cummins comes into the attack. A single each to Rahul and Dhawan before the former flicks a full delivery over midwicket for a six.

Cummins drops short as Rahul pulls the next ball over the square leg fence for another six, his fourth from the last six balls faced.

India race past the 50-run mark in six overs with Rahul smashing his way to 41 from 21 balls and Dhawan one nine.
