Adelaide: India's fast bowlers started their tour well on Monday, rolling the Cricket Australia XI for 219 in the two-day game at Gliderol Stadium in the Adelaide suburb of Glenelg.
Express paceman Varun Aaron was not given the new ball, but he took an early liking to local conditions.
Aaron finished the pick of the bowlers with 3-72 from 17 overs, while fellow quicks Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar grabbed two wickets each.
Aaron's opening spell of six overs went for 15 runs and featured the scalps of CA XI captain Ashton Turner and Queensland's Nick Stevens.
The right-armer, clocked at 152.1 km/h during a recent one-day international between India and Sri Lanka, returned later to remove Alex Gregory.
Pace and bounce, the same issues that have troubled so many Indian batsmen on past Australian tours, were Aaron's biggest assets.
Opener Ryan Carters, one of few players with first-class experience in the CA XI, top-scored with 58.
Carters, the only man dismissed by any of India's spinners, was caught behind down the leg side off the bowling of Ravi Ashwin.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Matthew Short in the first over, then broke a stubborn 74-run stand between Carters and Kelvin Smith.
The visitors are playing a pair of two-day matches to warm up for the four-Test series, with the next starting at Adelaide Oval on Friday.
Josh Lalor is on 14, while David Moody is yet to score.
Carters promised his side would play attacking cricket and make it a competitive game.
India have never won a Test series in Australia.
Stand-in skipper Virat Kohli suggested shot selection would be key if the visitors were to buck that trend.
Brief scores:
Cricket Australia XI - 219 (Carters 58, Nielsen 43*, Aaron 3-72)
Indians - 55/1 (Vijay 32*)
Status - Indians trial by 164-runs
