Was Prasidh Krishna's 68-0 against Australia the most expensive spell in T20I? List of 10 worst spells in T20I image

Australia secured a thrilling five-wicket victory against India in the third T20I on Tuesday, November 28 in Guwahati. 

The match turned into a run-fest, with Glenn Maxwell's extraordinary century (104*) leading Australia to a dramatic win in the final over. 

Winning the toss, Australia's Matthew Wade opted to bowl first, challenging India to set a target. The hosts responded impressively, with opener Ruturaj Gaikwad shining with an unbeaten 123*, achieving the highest individual score by an Indian in T20Is. India posted an imposing total of 222/3 in their 20 overs.

In the chase, Australia came out aggressively, scoring 67 runs in the powerplay. Glenn Maxwell's explosive innings, a 47-ball century, played a pivotal role in Australia's successful run chase.

However, the Indian bowlers faced a tough night, with Prasidh Krishna having a forgettable performance. The right-arm fast bowler conceded 68 runs in his four overs, establishing a record for the most expensive bowling figures by an Indian in a T20I.

He had 21 runs to defend, but Maxwell took him to the cleaners, by hitting four boundaries and a six to help Australia register their second-biggest run-chase in T20I history.
