1st T20I: Surya, Ishan, Rinku Help India Mount Biggest Run-chase At Home To Beat Australia
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav: Skipper Suryakumar Yadav hammered a 42-ball 80 and Ishan Kishan blasted 58 off 39 balls as India scampered to a two-wicket victory against Australia in the opening T20I of the five-match series here on Thursday.
In his first match as India captain, Suryakumar put on display once again his ability to hit around 360 degrees after he elected to bowl first and Australia rode on a brilliant, blazing century by Josh Inglis off 47 balls and his 130-run partnership with Steve Smith as the visitors posted 208/3 in their 20 overs.
With Inglis and Smith compiling the highest partnership for the second wicket for Australia, improving on the 124-run partnership by David Warner and Michell Marsh, it looked like Australia were set to dominate India just like they did in the final of the Men's ODI World Cup in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
