India and Australia faced off in the 1st T20I at Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam on November 23rd.

Steve Smith played a supportive role, scoring 52 off 41 balls.

In pursuit of the formidable target, India had a shaky start as both openers, Jaiswal and Gaikwad, fell quickly for 21 and 0 runs, respectively. However, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav forged a 112-run partnership, laying the foundation for India’s successful run chase. Suryakumar Yadav was brilliant, scoring 80 off 42 balls before being dismissed in the 17.4th over. At that point, India required just 15 runs off 14 balls with 5 wickets in hand.

Yet, India lost three wickets in rapid succession—Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and Arshdeep Singh. However, Rinku Singh held his nerve and guided India towards victory. With 1 run needed off the last ball, Rinku Singh smashed a massive six. Unfortunately, it was a no-ball, so the six wasn’t counted. Nevertheless, India clinched the match with 2 wickets and 1 ball to spare.
