Australia scored 375 runs in the first ODI with the help of Aaron Finch's Steve Smith's century. The ICC tells you the details of what penalty has been imposed on Team India captain Virat Kohli and the players. Team India was fined 20 per cent of match fees for slow over-rate against Australia in the first ODI of the series in Sydney.
