Gambhir, who faced 80 balls and hit six fours, was run-out at non-striker's end by backing up too much just when he was poised to up the tempo in the company of his captain.
Dhoni, who was adjudged man of the match, joined forces with Raina, who struck one six and six fours, to simply tear the Aussie attack to ribbons with a partnership of 136 in only 96 balls.
The fifth wicket pair utilised the batting Power Play, taken between 40th and 44th overs, to add 39 runs with the India captain in full flow with his bottom-handed shots against the Aussie pacemen _Peter Siddle_ and _Mitchell Johnson_.
Australia conceded as many as 116 runs in the last eleven overs from the time India's batting Power Play ended.
India began their innings in spectacular style with Sehwag taking a particular fancy for the swing bowling of inexperienced Tasmanian _Ben Hilfenhaus_.
Sehwag spanked the second ball he faced in the match from the 26-year-old rookie, playing only his 14th ODI and first in the subcontinent, to the covers and then square-drove the bowler off the backfoot for another four to set the tone.
Tendulkar (4) worked Siddle off his toes for a four but was dismissed stretching out to a ball that was bowled wide of the stumps by the bowler in his next over and edged it to the slip cordon. He had got out in a similar fashion at Vadodara.
Sehwag lofted Johnson, who passed a fitness test to play in the match after an ankle-injury scare, for a straight six.
The Delhi batsman, however, fell to the left-arm pacer as he mistimed a lofted shot to haul out to Hilfenhaus. His 40 came off 31 balls and included six fours and a six.
_Yuvraj Singh_ showed no uneasy signs of playing his first match since mid-September, and timed the ball beautifully in making a quickfire 23 with two fours and a six before being brilliantly caught and bowled by Hilfenhaus when he could not keep down a straight drive.
For Australia, _Peter Siddle_ was the pick of the bowlers with his pace and effective use of the short ball in his earlier spell before he too was carted around by Dhoni and Raina.
