Cricket News sort by Australia tour of India, 2022

Team India has a twin reason to celebrate Sunday night. Chasing a target of 187 in the third and final T20I against World Champions Australia, the skipper Rohit Sharma-led side claimed a thrilling win by 6 wickets with gigantic contributions of Virat Kohli and Surya Kumar Yadav at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. With the 2-1 bilateral series victory, the team registered a milestone achievement of the most number of T20I wins in 2022.

Rohit Sharma (46 not out off 20) and Axar Patel (2 for 13) came up with significant performances as India beat Australia by six wickets in the second T20I at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Friday (September 23). With the victory, India leveled the three-match series 1-1.

India batter Suryakumar Yadav has asserted that pacer Jasprit Bumrah is absolutely fit and that there are no reasons to worry about him. The Indian fast bowler, who is returning from a back injury that forced him to miss the Asia Cup 2022, was rested for the 1st T20I in Mohali T20I on Tuesday, September 20.

Cameron Green (61 off 30) and Matthew Wade (45* off 21) played terrific knocks as Australia chased down 209 in the first T20I against India in Mohali on Tuesday (September 20). Bowling first after winning the toss, Australia bowlers conceded 208 for 6 as Hardik Pandya smashed an unbeaten 71 off 30, while KL Rahul (55 off 35) and Suryakumar Yadav (46 off 25) also made important contributions.

No big surprises would be on the card in the T20I match against Australia, but surely the two sides may brush up their teams for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 scheduled to be held next month in Australia. Of course, Team India will be playing in full-strength in the series, which is to kick start on September 20, and the only loss is Arshdeep Singh, who is advised to attend routine conditioning camp at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
