After being invited to bat, India posted 136 for nine against Australia in the rain-interrupted first ODI on Sunday.
The match was reduced to a 26-over-a-side game after the third rain interruption.
India was struggling at 52 for four in 16.4 overs when rain halted play for the third time.
However, Axar Patel (31 off 38) and KL Rahul (38 off 31) provided some momentum to India’s innings after the resumption, helping the visitors reach a modest total after a poor start.
Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (19 not out off 11) played a useful cameo towards the end.
Earlier, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failed to make an impact on their return to the Indian team after seven months.
Kohli was dismissed for an eight-ball duck by Mitchell Starc, while Rohit was bowled out by Josh Hazlewood for eight. Later, skipper Shubman Gill was caught down the leg side off pacer Ellis for 10.
For Australia, left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann (2/13), Hazlewood (2/20), and Mitchell Owen (2/20) each picked up two wickets.
