Australia beat India by four wickets in the second in T20 International at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Chasing India's moderate target of 126, Mitchell Marsh (46) top scored for the Aussies, who romped home with 40 balls to spare.
The first T20 at Canberra was abandoned midway due to heavy downpour.
Earlier, Abhishek Sharma stood tall amid ruins with a blistering 37-ball-68 as Australian pacers, led by Josh Hazlewood, dismantled the Indian top-order to bowl out the visitors for a paltry 125.
Hazlewood picked three for 13 and bowled an incredible 15 dot balls in his four-over spell to break the backbone of Indian batting and killed the contest within 20 minutes of start.
In front of a 82,438 strong MCG crowd, India suffered one of its most embarrassing defeats with as many as nine batters failing to reach double digits as they bowled out in 18.4 overs.
The only silver lining apart from Abhishek's innings was Varun Chakravarthy's spell (2/23 in 4 overs) and Jasprit Bumrah's (2/26 in 4 overs) pinpoint yorker to dismiss Matthew Short.
With three matches left in the series, Indian batters could take a leaf out of Abhishek's book after he burnished his credentials as world's numero uno T20 batter with some breathtaking strokes.
The third T20 of the five-match series will be held on Sunday (November 2) at Hobart.
