With India setting up a target of 161 in the IND vs AUS 5th T20I, the hopes lingered on India’s bowling contingent. Pacer Mukesh Kumar delivered in style as he took 3-32 as India chased a win in the final game of the India vs Australia T20 series. India Cricket Team has clinched the series 4-1. As Mukesh dismissed the likes of Josh Phillipe, along with Matthew Short and Ben Dwarshuis in two consecutive deliveries, Twitter (X) erupted in praise.
Here are some of the best tweets:
Shreyas Iyer’s tenacious performance guided India reach a solid 160/8 in the fifth and final T20I against Australia in Bengaluru. Jitesh Sharma and Axar Patel provided help in the middle overs as Iyer hammered 53 off 37 balls. Jitesh contributed 24 on 16 balls, while Axar got 31 runs on 21 deliveries.
As Australia lost both openers Travis Head and Josh Phillipe in the powerplay overs, Mukesh Kumar and Ravi Bishnoi came in early. Mukesh took Phillipe out for a run-a-ball four, and Bishnoi cleaned up Head. In his following over, Bishnoi struck out Aaron Hardie.
Axar Patel displaced David for run a ball 17. McDermott, on the other hand, reached his half-century before succumbing to Arshdeep Singh. Mukesh Kumar then eliminated Matthew Short and Ben Dwarshuis in quick succession. As India won the game by 6 runs, Matthew Wade fell victim to Arshdeep.
