Only one Australia batter failed to reach double figures, Steve Smith with a three-ball duck, with Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav taking three wickets apiece.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got India's innings off to a solid start with a 65-run stand and the hosts were moving along nicely at 185 for four in the 36th over.
