The Indian T20I team performed admirably under Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership in their most recent match against Australia, winning the T20I series 4-1. The Indian bowlers defended the score and won the match by six runs, despite not scoring a particularly high total in the last game at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In the final overs, Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar both bowled incredibly effectively, taking three wickets for 32 runs and two wickets for 40 runs, respectively. Arshdeep held on to ten runs in the final over to give India the victory. Five massive sixes helped Ben McDermott amass 54 runs, but when he tried to knock a six off Arshdeep and was out, the game turned. Shreyas Iyer, who was unsuccessful in the previous game, struck an incredible fifty runs under duress earlier for India. In order to help India to a reasonable total, he hit 53 from 37 balls. In the end, Axar Patel demonstrated his batting brilliance by scoring a rapid 31 runs to assist India in reaching 160. Following this triumph, a humorous social media post including a video of Arshdeep dismissing Matthew Wade was posted by Arshdeep’s IPL team, the Punjab Kings. The post’s description, “Not against this left-arm pacer, Matthew Wade,” highlighted Arshdeep’s victory over Wade, who had hit three consecutive sixes against Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup semifinal.

It was admirable how the boys demonstrated their abilities. Suryakumar Yadav
Following the game, Indian captain Suryakumar highlighted his team’s excellent performance and complimented them on how they displayed their skills. The crew wanted to have fun while playing without fear, according to Suryakumar.
It was a worthwhile series. It was admirable how the boys demonstrated their abilities. We desired to enjoy ourselves when we were in the middle and to be bold. They followed my advice to just enjoy their game and do what was right. I’m overjoyed about that. It is easier to pursue 200+ at Chinnaswamy. Here, 160–175 is a difficult story. We have a game on after 10 overs, I told the boys,” Suryakumar remarked following the conclusion of play.
