India chased down a mammoth total of 209 runs against Australia in Visakhapatnam. The Men in Blue were impressive on Thursday to go one up in the five-match T20I series.
After being put into bat, Australia posted a massive total, courtesy of Josh Inglis' century. The wicket-keeper batter scored a 50-ball 110 against India, guiding his side to a 200-plus total.
In response, India chased down the target with ease, courtesy of a captain's knock from Suryakumar Yadav (80). After being criticised for his slow innings in the World Cup final, Surya has come back in supreme style! The 33-year-old was ably supported by Ishan Kishan (58) in the run chase.
