India vs Australia

In 2nd T20 match between India and Australia at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, India maintained an unchanged team, while Australia made two changes, bringing in Zampa and Maxwell.

Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi secured three wickets each, limiting Australia to 191/9 in their pursuit of a challenging target of 236 runs. Earlier, India posted a total of 235 runs, fueled by half-centuries from the top three batters – Yashasvi Jaiswal (53 runs), Ruturaj Gaikwad (58), and Ishan Kishan (52). A final contribution of 31 runs from Rinku Singh in nine balls added to India’s total. India, leading 1-0 in the five-match series after their record T20I chase, batted first as Australia won the toss in the second IND vs AUS T20I in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.

India crafted a perfect T20 game with the bat, featuring three quick-fire fifties and a blitz of a cameo, setting the stage for a formidable performance.

In the T20 format, batsmen aim to make an impact in the middle for a good time, not necessarily a long one. In the second game of the five-match series against Australia, India secured a 44-run win, claiming a 2-0 lead. Yashasvi Jaiswal (53 off 25 balls), Ishan Kishan (52 off 32), and Ruturaj Gaikwad (58 off 43) laid the foundation, while Rinku Singh (31 not out off 9), Suryakumar Yadav (19 off 10), and Tilak Varma (7 not out off 2) provided the finishing touches, resulting in a formidable total of 235/4.

Player of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal, named Player of the Match, shared, “It was really special for me, I enjoyed the game today. I was trying to play all my shots, be fearless, take bowlers on. I was fully sure with my decisions. I have been told by Suryakumar and VVS Laxman bhai to express myself. I always think of how I can improve myself around experienced players and nothing else. Still learning. I really worked on my fitness and playing my shots. I feel the mental stuff is more important at this level. Try to get better each and every day.”

India captain Suryakumar Yadav speaks:

India captain Suryakumar Yadav, speaking at the post-match presentation, stated, “The boys aren’t putting too much pressure on me; they’re taking responsibility. I told them before the toss to be prepared to bat first. There was a lot of dew after three overs, told the boys to back themselves. When I saw Rinku in the last game, the composure was brilliant. Today’s effort too reminds us of everyone who’s done this for India.”

Rinku Singh reflects on the match.

Rinku Singh, reflecting on his last-ditch fireworks that propelled India to a formidable total of 235 in Thiruvananthapuram, shared insights on how he stays calm in the dying moments of the match and his approach when bowlers experiment in the death overs. “I bat in this position a lot, so I am calm knowing this role. I prefer to play each ball according to where it lands. I try to notice whether it’s a slower ball or a fast ball, and I respond accordingly.
My role in the team is finishing only. I know I’ll get 5-6 overs sometimes or maybe 2 overs sometimes. So that’s exactly how I practice, as if I’m batting in the last five. That’s what VVS Laxman sir has also told me to play in the nets,” Rinku said after India’s 44-run victory over Australia.

India vs Australia 2nd T20: After 20 overs, AUS 191/9. India secures a 44-run victory:

Captain Mathew Wade’s late efforts weren’t sufficient. Australia lost three wickets in the Powerplay, hindering their chase. Despite glimpses of hope during Stoinis and David’s partnership, Bishnoi’s crucial wicket tilted the game. India’s bowling, led by Bishnoi, was varied. With this win, India doubles their lead to 2-0, leaving them one victory away from clinching the series.
