[Saba Sports News] In Bengaluru, the Indian T20I team, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, clinched the series against Australia with a 4-1 victory. Despite a modest total at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Indian bowlers defended brilliantly, winning the final game by six runs. Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep Singh were standout performers, with Mukesh taking three wickets for 32 runs and Arshdeep two for 40. Arshdeep’s crucial last over defense of ten runs sealed the win.
Ben McDermott’s 54, featuring five sixes, wasn’t enough for Australia, as his dismissal by Arshdeep turned the game. For India, Shreyas Iyer’s resilient 53 off 37 and Axar Patel’s brisk 31 pushed the score to 160.
Post-match, Suryakumar Yadav lauded the team’s fearless and enjoyable play. He noted the challenge of a 160-175 target at Chinnaswamy and praised his team’s response to the situation.
Punjab Kings humorously acknowledged Arshdeep’s performance on social media, referencing his dismissal of Matthew Wade, who had famously hit Shaheen Afridi for consecutive sixes in the 2021 T20 World Cup semi-final.
