India Vs Australia T20: India won the series by 3:2

Highlights of India vs. Australia, 4th Twenty20:

The Men in Blue now lead the series 3-1 after defeating Australia by 20 runs to secure the 5 match series. India gained some vital wickets from Axar Patel, and Rinku Singh hit some huge strokes to seal the victory in the seris.

Today, Axar Patel is working his magic as he got rid of Ben McDermott, Aaron Hardie, and Travis Head, three dangerous players, to ruin Australian batting. In addition to bowling exceptionally well, Ravi Bishnoi is also having near calls with wickets.

Australia's opener Josh Philippe was bowled by India spinner Ravi Bishnoi with his first ball, setting up an intriguing duel as opener Travis Head appears to be in explosive form.

After 20 overs, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma led the struggling Indian team to a manageable score of 174/9. Australia restricted Indian hitters, who could not finish successfully, by taking several vital wickets in the last overs.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer all headed back to the pavilion as India lost wickets quickly. In order to keep the audience entertained, Rinku Singh is playing effectively at the crease and hitting some spectacular strokes. The new batter in the crease is Jitesh Sharma.

India's first breakthrough came from Australian pacer Aaron Hardie, who removed inexperienced opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shreyas Iyer, vice captain of India, has moved to the crease to accompany Ruturaj Gaikwad.

With the new ball, pacers Aaron Hardie and Jason Behrendorff launched the assault, while Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad opened the innings for the country. The goal of the openers will be to give their side a strong start.

At Raipur, Chhattisgarh's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, the India vs. Australia match is scheduled for December 1. The fourth game of their five-game T20 series is this one. India will aim to defeat Australia, the world champions, in today's game to complete the five-match series.

India and Australia have faced off in 29 Twenty20 matches in the past. India has won 17, Australia has won 11, and there was no outcome in one match. India has dominated their last five Twenty20 matches, winning four to Australia's one. India has a fantastic overall record against Australia, and the Men in Blue have performed remarkably well in the opening leg of the series.

The Raipur stadium is well-known for both domestic and IPL matches. It is a relatively new location for international cricket. It appears that bowlers are better off on this ground than batsmen. Only once, in the 29 T20 matches played here, has a team amassed 200 runs. In the last three games, India's batting order has shown off some incredible skills, and they should play with the same fervor today.

This stadium hosted an ODI between India and New Zealand back in January 2023. After 108, New Zealand was eliminated. With an easy victory margin of eight wickets, Mohammed Shami was declared Player of the Match for his outstanding 3/18.

8. Although Deepak Chahar was costly, he secured the deal. Tim David's pivotal wicket

At this venue, 162 was the highest target that was successfully chased in T20 cricket, and that record still stands. Travis Head struck at 200 and provided a strong powerplay score as Australia got off to a flying start. Unfortunately for them, only Wade was able to score more than 120, with the other players finding it difficult to get going against Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi, the spin pair. Together, they produced a fantastic stretch of 33/4 in the eight overs. Chahar also had a fantastic return, taking important wickets at pivotal moments in the innings, including Tim David and Matt Short. After giving up 29 runs in his first two overs, he maintained pressure by earning 2/15 in his next two overs. Overall, there wasn't as much dew, and during the middle overs, the odd ball stayed low to keep the spinners engaged. The first-ever international T20 match at this location promises to be a great spectacle for the Raipur supporters.

Bishnoi Ravi I've been able to contribute to the team's bowling performance. Today presented another opportunity to bowl well and help India win the match. I am quite pleased with my bowling, and perhaps, I will continue to play this manner in the future. There are a lot of young people on the team, and they're all doing well and having fun together. I've worked with him, and no matter what the circumstances of the match, he always asks me to bowl consistently and gives me encouragement.

Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian skipper: Everything went smoothly, except for the toss. For us, the most important thing was that boys demonstrated character. We discussed at the meeting prior to the game the importance of being courageous and expressing oneself. Axar bowled so amazing, and I always love to put him under pressure. During the death overs, the strategy was to target the Yorkers and observe the outcome.

Matthew Wade | Captain Australia: We simply didn't play spin very well, and we also dropped a few of marginal middle-of-the-road wickets. Although the folks who came in did a great job, we were unable to complete the task with the bat. The T20 World Cup is quickly approaching, so it's imperative to keep learning from the men who are already seasoned members of the squad and to have depth in the lineup.

Player of the Match: Axar Patel When I was at home, I experimented a lot, and today everything worked out nicely. I made an effort to focus on my strong points and didn't let being struck get to me too much. Bowling stump-to-stump was the best way to reduce the dew effect. Given the possibility of being hit in this style, it is imperative to have an aggressive mindset and be psychologically tough. You'll feel much better if you approach picking wickets with that mindset. In order to continue being successful at the top level, I concentrated on developing myself and adding new bowling variations during the (injury) layoff.

That brings an end to the Raipur proceedings. This Sunday's fifth and final Twenty20 International of the series will take place in Garden City. Please remember to come on that one with us. Fingers crossed for an incredible surface and a thrilling thriller! Good night, and cheers!
