The last weekend was brilliant for India on the cricket field, India’s Women’s team defeated England on Saturday to give Jhulan Goswami a fitting tribute, whereas India’s Men’s team defeated Australia on Sunday to seal the 3-match T20I series in Hyderabad.
Deepti Sharma’s runout created all the headlines from the Women’s match, but all said and done, it was a legitimate dismissal by the Indian team. The 3rd T20I between India and Australia in Hyderabad was also a brilliant affair, where Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya proved their class with the bat.
Chasing Australia’s total of 186 runs, India won the match in 19.5 overs by 6 wickets. Suryakumar Yadav was at his very best, where he scored 69 runs in 36 balls with the help of 5 sixes and 5 boundaries. Virat Kohli also played a knock of 63 runs, whereas Pandya scored 25 runs in just 16 balls.
