IND vs AUS 1st T20I

Coming to the match, Suryakumar Yadav, leading the Indian side for the first time, showcased remarkable leadership as he guided an inexperienced Indian side to a thrilling two-wicket victory over Australia in the first T20I of the five-match series. With Ishan Kishan, Yadav played a pivotal role in the challenging chase of a mammoth 209-run target.

His impressive innings of 80 runs off 42 balls, combined with Kishan’s contribution of 58 off 39 balls, ensured India secured the win on the final ball. Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 28 off 14 balls, including a crucial six, added the finishing touches to the remarkable win. Australia’s Tanveer Sangha claimed two wickets in the closely contested match.

Earlier in the game, after winning the toss, Suryakumar Yadav opted to bowl first. The decision, however, saw Australian batter Josh Inglis seize the opportunity to smash his maiden T20I century. Inglis’s explosive innings of 110 off 50 balls, with the help of 11 fours and eight sixes, powered Australia to a big total of 208 for the loss of three wickets.

Despite Inglis’s stellar performance, India’s batting efforts ultimately paved the way for their successful chase in this high-scoring encounter. They will face Australia in the second T20I on Sunday, November 26.
