Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli led the way for a thrilling win for India to seal the T20I series 2-1 against Australia in Hyderabad on Sunday night. After being put to bat first by Rohit Sharma, Australia got to a tricky total of 186/7 with Tim David top-scoring with a 27-ball 54 while opener Cameron Green added a furious 52-run knock in just 21 deliveries to get things going for the visitors. With a shaky start up top that saw India struggling at 30/2 in their first four overs, Kohli and Yadav took on the charge and stitched an impressive partnership of 104 runs.
Yadav perished after contributing a match-winning 69 (36), while Kohli (63) stuck around till the last over that needed 11 off 6. The former Indian skipper sent the first ball by Daniel Sams for a maximum, bringing the equation in India’s favour before being undone by Sams on the very next delivery. Hardik Pandya ensured a 6-wicket win for India with a delivery to spare as the hosts sealed the T20I series 2-1.
Delighted as they were, desi fans erupted with memes on the microblogging site Twitter.
