Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and put India in to bat first. Dhawan, opening with KL Rahul, was bowled by a brilliant yorker from Mitchell Starc in the second over.
Watch it here:
Dhawan, who returned with the second-most runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) behind Rahul, tried to drive the fifth ball of the over to off-side, but the ball swung away and uprooted the off-stump.
The left-handed opener made just one off six balls.
India then lost skipper Kohli leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson in the seventh over, to leave India struggling at 51/2.
Australia had won the three-match ODI series 2-1. The T20Is will be followed by the big-ticket Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, featuring four Test matches.
