An explosive 42-ball 80 from Suryakumar Yadav on captaincy debut, his 112-run stand with Ishan Kishan (58 off 39 balls) and the finishing act from Rinku Singh were all pivotal to India’s thrilling two-wicket win over Australia in the first of the five-match T20I series in Vizag on Thursday (November 23). Australia rode on Josh Inglis’ frenetic 47-ball ton to post a strong total of 208 and also had India at 22/2 but the Suryakumar-Ishan stand helped India to get into cruise control with the stand-in captain almost batting through the chase. A late collapse threatened a heist but Rinku held his nerve to see India through off the last ball.
A first for Steve Smith
He’s been around for a long time but it took until 23rd November 2023 for Australia’s premier batter to open the innings for the first time in his career. Smith started off with a few boundaries despite not timing them very well. His opening partner Matthew Short also struck three boundaries as Australia got off to a steady start.
