4th T20I: Axar's 3-16 After Rinku, Jitesh's Knocks Help India Beat Australia, Take Unbeatable 3-1 Lead
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Spinners Axar Patel (3-16) and Ravi Bishnoi (1-17) stifled Australian batters in the middle overs as India won the fourth T20I by 20 runs to claim the five-match bilateral series 3-1 and win a record-breaking 136th T20I victory, the most by any team in international cricket.
After being restricted to 174/9 in 20 overs thanks to vital contributions by Rinku Singh (46), Jitesh Sharma (35), and Yashasvi Jaiswal (37), India looked on the rope as Australia looked on course as they reached 87/3 in the 12th over.
But spinners Axar Patel, who is returning from an injury because of which he missed the ODI World Cup, and Ravi Bishnoi bowled well in tandem and claimed four wickets between them for just 33 runs in eight overs as Suryakumar Yadav's side came back strongly to restrict Australia to 154/7 in 20 overs to seal victory for India.
