India\u2019s victory in Hobart was set up by a collective team effort, with Washington Sundar\u2019s unbeaten 49 off just 23 balls and Arshdeep Singh\u2019s figures of 3-35 in four overs playing pivotal roles. \u201cYes, it felt like we\u2019d lost 19 or 20 tosses in a row, so it was great to break that streak. Winning the toss was important today, and I\u2019m really happy with how the team performed,\u201d he said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sundar and Arshdeep, along with Jitesh Sharma, who hit an unbeaten 22 in his first T20I since January 2024, were drafted into the playing eleven for Sunday\u2019s game, all of which paid off really well for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAbsolutely. Those guys were practising really hard and waiting for their chance. Washi (Washington Sundar) showed great flexibility, Jitesh contributed well, and Arshdeep was outstanding. It felt like the right combination tonight,\u201d added Suryakumar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With the series now tied, Suryakumar said he now looks ahead to the fourth game, to be held at Bill Pippel Oval in Gold Coast on Thursday, with renewed optimism. \u201cIt\u2019s set up beautifully. We\u2019re heading to a new venue, so it\u2019ll be a fresh challenge, but the boys are confident and enjoying their cricket.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
