However, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav( SKY) came together and India kept scoring at a brisk pace through the middle overs with SKY playing blind. He played some breathtaking knocks all over the ground and Kohli played his part at the other end as well.

They put up a partnership of 104 off just 62 balls and were in the driver’s seat by the time SKY departed India. Things got pretty close in the end, though Australia played well at the death as well, Pandya kept his cool after Kohli’s dismissal and India finally managed to get over the line.

Earlier, Tim David played a knock-out 54 and Cameron Green smashed a 21-ball 52 as Australia posted 186 for 7 in 20 overs. Axar Patel once again shone with the ball 3 for 33 in his four overs. India won the toss and decided to go for the series.

Renowned commentator and cricket analyst, Harsha Bhogle tweeted about the great win by Team India, “What a good game of cricket. Ebb and flow all the way. Some top performances. The sky is now the centrepiece of this batting side but I think the biggest pluses for India were Axar and the form of Virat”
