A rock has shattered a window on the Australian cricket team's bus after their T20 victory over India in Guwahati.

No one was injured in the incident which happened as the team was returning to their hotel from the Barsapara Stadium on Wednesday morning AEST.

The rock left a large hole in a window towards the back of the bus. The seat next to the window was unoccupied at the time.

Australia opener Aaron Finch tweeted a picture of the broken window.

"Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!" Finch said.

It's the first international match to be played in the north-eastern city of Guwahati for eight years.

It comes a month after a similar incident in Bangladesh where a rock broke a window, prompting security to be beefed up.

Authorities believed local children were behind the Bangladesh rock-throwing.
