With the extensive win, Virat Kohli-led team India have taken a 1-0 lead in the 5-match ODI series.
Australia were set a target of 164 runs in 21 overs through Duckworth and Lewis System after rain finally relented in Chennai.
After winning toss and electing elected to bat first, India set 282 runs for team Australis.
Opting to bat first, India made what could be termed as the worst start to their innings, losing their first three wickets of just 11 runs.
Though opener Rohit Shrama (28) and Kedar Jadhav (40) tried to find their feet slowly, it seemed that the pitch was assisting the Australian pacers.
However, India rode on contrasting half centuries from all-rounder Pandya (83) and former skipper Dhoni (79) to help India recover from a precarious 87-5 and post a score of 281-7 in their stipulated 50 overs against the Steve Smith-led side.
