India have been on a roll on the opening day of the second Test, in New Delhi, versus Australia. After being asked to bowl first, India accounted for three scalps in the first session. While they chipped in with regular wickets post the lunch break, opener Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb stitched a vital 59-run fifth-wicket stand. Just when Khawaja was reaching the 100-run mark, he was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja with KL Rahul taking a one-handed stunner.

Talking about the delivery, Khawaja went for a reverse sweep against&nbsp;Jadeja. He, however,&nbsp;couldn't get the desired&nbsp;connection and the ball went straight to square leg position, where Rahul dived towards his right and pulled off a one-handed stunner. As a result, Khawaja was on his knees and in complete disbelief as he was deprived of a hundred. Here's the video:

With the dismissal, Jadeja also attained a unique feat. The all-rounder became the second-fastest player in Test cricket to record a combination of 2,500 runs and 250 wickets.&nbsp;

Australia have lost the plot after a good start. They will still be hoping to put up a respectable total, anything over 250-275, and put up a good fight in the second Test after the hammering they received in the series opener in Nagpur. India won the first Test by an innings and 132 runs and have a 1-0 lead.

India is looking forward to achieving a 2-0 lead against the Kangaroos as the men in blue stunned the Aussies in the opener by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs. However, the biggest dilemma before the Rohit Sharma-led side is to whether give KL Rahul another chance or not! Critics are just not happy with Rahul’s performance, who managed to score a mere 20 runs in the 1st Test match. His recent form dip in all three forms is a concerning development before the WTC Final. Shreyas Iyer is expected to return to the playing XI as SKY might be asked to warm benches for a little longer. Speaking about the bowling attack, team India would like to go ahead with the winning combination. It means that Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin will get the ball rolling. Kuldeep Yadav would, however, have to sit on the bench for a while. On the other hand, Australia is also expected to make major changes in its playing XI. The final playing XI and the process by which it was selected drew criticism from many former Australian players. Former Australian captain Steve Waugh was perplexed by the team management's decision to not consider Travis Head, while Ricky Ponting and Mitchell Johnson urged dismissing David Warner. IND vs AUS 2nd Test playing XI (Picked up by cricket experts) India’s predicted playing XI was picked up by former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, R.

India will square off with Australia in the second Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 edition, in New Delhi, which will get underway on February 17 (Friday). Ahead of the second Test, India's No. 3 Cheteshwar Pujara is on the cusp of attaining a huge feat. Pujara will become the 13th Indian to play 100 Tests when he takes on the field for Team India in the Delhi Test. Thus, he will join an elite list of players featuring Little Master Sunil Gavaskar, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, etc.&nbsp;

Legendary list of Indian cricketers to have played 100 or more Test matches

Sachin Tendulkar - 200 Tests 
Rahul Dravid - 163 Tests 
VVS Laxman - 134 matches 
Anil Kumble - 132 
Kapil Dev - 131 matches 
Sunil Gavaskar - 125 Tests 
Dilip Vengsarkar - 116 matches

Thus, Pujara will become the 13th Indian to join the elusive list. In 99 Tests, Pujara has amassed&nbsp;7,021 runs, including 19 hundreds and 34 half-centuries, along with a best of 206*. He played a crucial role in India's dominance in the red-ball format under Virat Kohli's captaincy (from 2016 to 2021). He was India's star performer in their maiden Test series win in Australia in the 2018/19 tour.&nbsp;

It goes without saying that Pujara will be eager to make the most of his landmark Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. In the series opener, in Nagpur, he was dismissed for a 14-ball 7. Thus, he will be desperate for a big score in his special Test.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS 2nd Test live streaming: Team India stunned the visiting Kangaroos in the first Test match played in Nagpur by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test live streaming: Team India stunned the visiting Kangaroos in the first Test match played in Nagpur by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs. India was comfortably in the lead right from the beginning. The Indian innings were built up by Rohit Sharma's hundred and Ravindra Jadeja's outstanding all-around performance. Despite the fact that India would have already had enough runs, Axar Patel batted quite well. Australia must have learnt some lessons after their miserable performance against the men in blue. Now the stage is set for the 2nd Test match between India and Australia starting on February 17. After struggling with the bat in the first Test, it appears like opener KL Rahul and debutant Suryakumar Yadav may receive another chance to prove their mettle. It is uncertain whether captain Rohit Sharma, who slammed his ninth century in the Test match in Nagpur, will be bold enough to replace KL Rahul at the top of the order with Gill for the second Test in Delhi. The Australian side is also expected to make big playing XI changes as they hope to settle the score with the Indian side.

Former Aussie captain Ian Chappell has lauded Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and feels his promotion as a Test opener has helped him save his red-ball career. Chappell spoke highly in favour of Hitman after his masterclass 120 (212) during India's big win over Pat Cummins-led Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 opener in Nagpur. Under Rohit, India dismissed Australia for 177, after being asked to bowl first, and rode on the skipper's century to post 400 before the Indian spinners -- R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja -- combined to rattle the Aussies for a paltry 91 in their second essay; leading India to an innings and 132-run win.

Chappell wrote in his coloumn on Mid-Day, "The move to open in Test cricket saved Rohit's career. He looked like he might waste his enormous skill down the order but batting above Virat Kohli has prevented him being overawed by the ex-captain's popularity. Captaincy has also played a big part in Rohit's revival; the discipline required to lead a team has added another level to his batting."

Rohit was asked to open in Tests after the 2019 ODI World Cup. He slammed back-to-back tons in his first Test as an opener, versus South Africa, and also ended the three-match home series with his maiden double ton in the format. Since then, he has been India's Mr. Consistent in the format and has carried his form in the India-Australia home series.

Chappell further lauded Rohit for his classy knock on a tough surface in Nagpur. He said, "The state of the pitch was put into perspective by the Indian captain Rohit Sharma. He played a masterful innings that displayed confidence in his own defence, his wide stroke range on a turning - but not impossible pitch - and his ironclad discipline."

"Not only did Rohit reveal a wide range of shots, he also frustrated the Australian bowlers with the way he only played them when the time was right. He showed all players, home and touring, how to play on Indian pitches, and his example was flawlessly followed by the much improved Ravindra Jadeja," the Aussie veteran wrote.

Rohit-led India are now gearing up for the second Test of the BGT, to be held in the national capital commencing on February 17. India will aim for a 2-0 scoreline in the second Test and extend their dominance in the high-profile series.

IND vs AUS, BGT: Rohit Sharma's promotion as opener saved his Test career, feels Aussie legend Ian Chappell

India dominated proceedings in the first Test versus Australia, in Nagpur, to go 1-0 up in the ongoing edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Losing the toss, India rode on comeback man Ravindra Jadeja's 5 for 47 to rattle the Pat Cummins-led Aussies for 177 and piled up 400 courtesy of skipper Rohit Sharma's 120, Jadeja's 70 and Axar Patel's 84 before dismissing the visitors for 91 in their second essay to win by an innings and 132 runs. Jadeja accounted for two more wickets in Australia's second innings and, thus, returned as the Player-of-The-Match.&nbsp;

After India's thumping win, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has lavished huge praise on Jadeja and feels 'world cricket hasn't seen an all-rounder like him'. Speaking on his Youtube channel, he said, "World cricket hasn't seen an all-rounder like Ravindra Jadeja. He dominates every department, be it batting, bowling or fielding. He is one such player that the captain will want to have in the playing XI every single time. He constantly creates pressure on the opposition."

"He didn't play cricket for around six months, but still kept himself in good shape and worked on his fitness. It is never easy to make a return, that too against a team like Australia. It was outstanding that he was able to come up with such a dominating performance in his comeback match against a big team," added Kaneria.

To back Kaneria's claims, Jadeja has been in top form across formats. He has had several injury concerns in the recent past but his performances haven't gone down by any means. In his last Test, during India's one-off match versus England in Edgbaston, he had scored a splendid 104 before resuming from where he left during his comeback match in Nagpur.&nbsp;

At the post-match presentation of the Nagpur Test, Jadeja said, "Feeling amazing. When you come back after five months and give your 100 percent, scoring runs and taking wickets.. feels amazing. Was working hard at the NCA. Would like to thank the NCA staff, physios. They have been working hard with me, even on Sundays. Was looking to bowl in good areas. Ball was spinning, going straight, keeping low. Kept telling myself to bowl at the stumps - if they make mistake, I have a chance. I look to keep things simple. Try not to change things with my batting. It's a crucial number - 5, 6, 7."

At the post-match presentation of the Nagpur Test, Jadeja said, "Feeling amazing. When you come back after five months and give your 100 percent, scoring runs and taking wickets.. feels amazing. Was working hard at the NCA. Would like to thank the NCA staff, physios. They have been working hard with me, even on Sundays. Was looking to bowl in good areas. Ball was spinning, going straight, keeping low. Kept telling myself to bowl at the stumps - if they make mistake, I have a chance. I look to keep things simple. Try not to change things with my batting. It's a crucial number - 5, 6, 7."

IND vs AUS | 'World cricket hasn't seen....': Ex-Pakistan spinner reserves high praise for Ravindra Jadeja

India had another memorable day in the first Test versus Australia, in Nagpur. After commencing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 edition in style by folding Pat Cummins &amp; Co. for 177 on Day 1, on Thursday (February 09), Rohit Sharma-led India rode on skipper's 120, Ravindra Jadeja's 66 not out and Axar Patel's 52* to reach 321 for 7; leading by 144 runs.

Rohit resumed the day's play at 56 and went on to slam a sublime 212-ball 120, laced with 15 fours and two sixes. He showed grit, determination and class during his knock but could have&nbsp;missed out on reaching his ninth Test hundred when he had a terrible mix-up with his predecessor Virat Kohli for the fourth-wicket stand. The incident took place during the 48th over, bowled by Nathan Lyon.

Kohli nudged a delivery to mid-wicket and began to run before realising there is no run on offer. By then, Rohit had come halfway down when he turned and dived to save himself. Hitman was lucky that the throw wasn't a direct hit otherwise he would've made the long walk back to the pavillion. As Rohit survived, Kohli apologised to him to which the Indian captain had a heartfelt reaction. Here's the video:&nbsp;

Kohli-Rohit only added 16 runs for the fourth wicket before the former Indian captain departed for 12. He was caught behind off debutant Todd Murphy, on a delivery which kept low and was on the legside, but Rohit carried on and became the first Indian skipper to score a hundred in all formats of the game; fourth overall.&nbsp;

Courtesy of Rohit's ton and fifties from all-rounders Jadeja and Axar, India are in a strong position in the first Test in Nagpur. They will look to dictate terms on Day 3 by stretching the lead beyond the 200-run mark and go for the kill versus the Aussies on a tricky surface.

1st Test: Virat Kohli apologises to Rohit Sharma after terrible mix-up almost ends Hitman's inning - watch

India had a flawless start to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by dominating Day 1 of the Nagpur Test on Thursday (February 09). Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. dismissed Pat Cummins-led Australia for a paltry 177 riding on Ravindra Jadeja's five-fer before the hosts went to stumps at 77 for 1, with captain Rohit unbeaten on fifty-plus.

Rohit and KL Rahul stitched an impressive 76-run opening stand but the latter was dismissed for 20 off debutant Todd Murphy as India lost a wicket before end of day's play. With Rahul failing to touch the 50-run mark in his last eight innings, many were left disappointed with his departure as he missed another opportunity to get a big score.&nbsp;

Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh feels Rahul should've adopted a more aggressive approach. Speaking on his official Youtube channel, Bhajji said, "KL Rahul would be disappointed as he was taking more time. I believe if he could have kept an attacking approach then he could have scored more. I hope in the second innings if he gets the chance to bat, he will score some runs for his own confidence."

Commenting on the match, Harbhajan stated, "I am hoping that India scores 300-350 on this pitch. Captain Rohit Sharma started a great inning (and) is not out with more than 50 runs. If he plays the entire first session then there will be expectations for a century."

"If India scores anywhere near 350 then I doubt Australia will be able to score more than 200 in the second innings. The more you bowl on this pitch, the more it will spin. If it spins then Australia will surrender against India's three spinners," he asserted.

At present, the match is interestingly poised. Australia have chipped in with regular wickets on Day 2, on Friday (February 10), to not let India run away with the game. Rohit's century has taken India to the lead but they have only five wickets in hand. Hence, he needs to bat for long to ensure his side a healthy lead in the contest.

'KL Rahul could've scored more runs with...': Harbhajan on Indian opener's failure on Day 1 of Nagpur Test

Team India dominated Day 1 of the Nagpur Test versus Australia on Thursday (February 09). After losing the toss, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. dominated proceedings as Australia were reduced to 2 for 2 and dismissed for 177 thanks to comeback man Ravindra Jadeja's 5 for 46 and R Ashwin's 3 for 42. In reply, India ended the day's play in a strong position; at 77 for 1 with captain Rohit unbeaten on fifty-plus.

While Jadeja made all the right noise on the opening day, the Indian team management had to go to the match referee to clear the air that the all-rounder was applying pain-relief cream to the index finger of his bowling hand after a video went viral on social media.

In the video that went viral, Jadeja was seen taking a substance off the back of Mohammed Siraj's palm with his right hand. He then&nbsp;rubbed this substance onto the index finger of his left hand - i.e. his bowling arm - before he got ready to bowl. It is to be noted that at no point&nbsp;was Jadeja seen rubbing anything on the red cherry despite having it in his hands at the time.

After the end of Day 1,&nbsp;Jadeja along with India captain Rohit Sharma and the team manager was made aware of the video clip. Match referee Andy&nbsp;Pycroft just wanted to just inform them about the incident and no charges were laid against Jadeja.

Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja lavished huge praise on Rohit Sharma and claimed that he&nbsp;has put the seeds of fear in Pat Cummins' head with his batting in the first&nbsp;Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy, in Nagpur. Rohit took&nbsp;on the Aussie skipper Cummins when India came out to bat in the fag end of Day 1 to shake his confidence and then played his trademark pull shot on Day 2 to force his Australian counterpart to go out of the attack.&nbsp;

On Cricbuzz, Jadeja was asked if Rohit had sown the seeds of fear in Cummins' head. To this, the former cricketer agreed&nbsp;and said that the&nbsp;India captain had taken Cummins out of the game on the first day of the Test, with the Aussies already on the back foot after folding for 177, and that six he hit off him on Day 2 showed his dominance.

Jadeja said, "Absolutely. He had sown the seeds of fear in Cummins yesterday and now he has come to take the fruits. He almost took Cummins out of the game yesterday. And today, with that six, he showed dominance."

He hailed Rohit for his stupendous 120 (212) to take India to a dominant position on Day 2 of the opening Test. "Rohit Sharma is always a cool customer. He just goes on his path like an elephant that doesn't look here and there despite the noise around it. The pitch is up and down and we saw Virat Kohli have a reaction to the nature of the pitch. We don't see that from Rohit at all. What we saw today from him was just brilliant."

"Yesterday in the evening, he was playing at a different pace. When he came in today, he went at a slow rate which means that Australia bowled well, but Rohit Sharma is in a zone which is important at this time."

"There is no fuss from him at the moment. He is calm and it feels like there is nothing on the pitch. Yeah, the wicket is becoming a slight docile. But seeing Rohit Sharma it feels like there is nothing on the pitch to be worried about. When he is there, his calmness does reflect through," signed off Jadeja.

Rohit slammed his 9th Test ton on Day 2 of the Nagpur Test. While he did dominate Cummins, the latter had the last laugh by dismissing Hitman on a peach of a delivery. After Rohit fell for a sublime 120, India rode on an unbroken eighth-wicket stand between half-centurions Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel to go to stumps at 321 for 7; leading by 144 runs.

Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja lavished huge praise on Rohit Sharma and claimed that he has put the seeds of fear in Pat Cummins' head with his batting in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy, in Nagpur.

Virat Kohli's torrid run in Tests continued on Day 2 of the Nagpur Test between India and Australia. After India lost R Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara in the morning session, Kohli came out to bat at No. 5 and added 16 runs with skipper Rohit Sharma when lunch break took place with India 151-3. On the first ball after lunch, debutant Todd Murphy dismissed him to prolong his barren run in whites.

Talking about the delivery (in the 52nd over), it was short and down the leg side as Kohli tried to flick it but found an edge and was caught by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Here's the video of Kohli's dismissal:

Rohit Sharma created history on Friday (February 10) during Day 2 of the first Test between India and Australia at the VCA Stadium, Nagpur. After India dismissed Pat Cummins-led Australia for 177, riding on Ravindra Jadeja's 5 for 47, they resumed the second day's play with an aim to take a big lead. While wickets fell at regular intervals, Rohit looked at his fluent best and reached a stunning hundred and achieved a big feat.

By slamming his 9th Test ton, Rohit became the first Indian captain -- fourth overall -- to score a hundred in all three formats. In the overall list, he joined the likes of Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan, South Africa's Faf du Plessis and Pakistan's Babar Azam.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma becomes 1st Indian skipper to score a ton in all three formats during Nagpur Test

Rohit Sharma-led India lost the toss in the Nagpur Test, of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, on Thursday (February 09) but got two early breakthroughs after Australia came out to bat. Mohammed Siraj removed Usman Khawaja, trapping him lbw for 1 whereas Md Shami cleaned bowled David Warner, for identical score, as Indian fans were ecstatic in Nagpur.

Talking about the first wicket, Siraj trapped in-form Khawaja with the ball moving in the air and after pitching on the leg-side, it straightened a bit&nbsp;to trap the left-hander. After the umpire turned down the appeal, skipper Rohit decided to take the decision upstairs. As the review turned out to be successful, Rohit &amp; Co. were on cloud nine. Nonetheless, head coach Rahul Dravid was also all pumped up and his reaction went viral. Here's the video:

WATCH: Rahul Dravid all fired up after Rohit Sharma & Co. get early breakthrough in Nagpur Test

India had a perfect start to the opening day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy edition on Thursday (February 09). Being asked to bowl first in the first Test, in Nagpur, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. were off to a flier versus Pat Cummins-led Australia, reducing them to 2 for 2, and soon dismissed them for 177 with Ravindra Jadeja (5 for 47) and R Ashwin (3 for 42) shining with the ball.

In reply, India started off on a strong note with the bat with captain Rohit leading the charge whereas his deputy and opening partner KL Rahul played cautiously. The duo had stitched an impressive 76-run-opening stand and looked set to close the day's play with their stand being unbroken. However, Rahul was once again dismissed for cheap -- after a dismal run in the Bangladesh Tests in December 2022 -- with a soft dismissal leading to his long walk back to the pavillion.&nbsp;

Rahul gave a simple catch to debutant spinner Todd Murphy to give Australia their first breakthrough. After his dismissal, Rohit was dejected and reacted strongly. Here's the video:

It has been Ravindra Jadeja's show on Day 1 of the India-Australia Nagpur Test on Thursday (February 09). After Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. lost the toss and were asked to ball first, the hosts soon reduced Pat Cummins-led Aussies to 2/2 before they recovered and were 109 for 4. Jadeja, however, kept chipping in with regular wickets as Australia were bundled out for 177. While Jadeja made a roaring comeback at the highest level, R Ashwin was also not far behind.&nbsp;

Ashwin returned wiht 3 for 42 but achieved a huge feat. By dismissing Alex Carey, he became only the second Indian bowler to claim 450 scalps in whites. The 35-year-old wily off-spinner is the second fastest bowler to reach the mark in 88 Tests. He is only behind Sri Lankan great Muttiah Muralidaran who reached the feat in 80 matches.

Ashwin also became just the ninth bowler in Test cricket&nbsp;to enter the 450-wicket club. Here's a list of bowlers who are part of the elite club:

IND vs AUS: R Ashwin creates history, becomes second Indian bowler to claim 450 Test scalps

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022/23 edition commenced on Thursday morning (February 09) in Nagpur with Pat Cummins &amp; Co. opting to bat first. However, Rohit Sharma-led India got off to a dream start as the pace duo -- Md Siraj and Md Shami -- struck early to reduce the tourists to 2/2. While Australia went to lunch 76 for 2, thanks to a solid third-wicket stand brewing between Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, India could have got rid of Smith had Virat Kohli held onto a catch in the slip cordon.

The incident took place on the first ball of the 15th over, bowled by Axar Patel. Smith went for a drive off Axar but got a thick edge. Kohli, stationed at first slip, didn't anticipate the pace of the ball and was late to react to it. Hence, he made a mess of the chance and gave a reprieve to the dangerman Smith. Here's the video of Kohli giving a lifeline to Smith:

Despite Smith getting a lifeline on 6, he couldn't make the most of it as he returned to the pavillion for 37 post the lunch break. He was removed by Ravindra Jadeja, who rattled his stumps to not allow the Aussie vice-captain score big. Australia resumed the second session at 76 for 2 and were soon reduced to 109 for 5.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022/23 edition commenced on Thursday morning (February 09) in Nagpur with Pat Cummins & Co. opting to bat first. However, Rohit Sharma-led India got off to a dream start as the pace duo -- Md Siraj and Md Shami -- struck early to reduce the tourists to 2/2. While Australia went to lunch 76 for 2, thanks to a solid third-wicket stand brewing between Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, India could have got rid of Smith had Virat Kohli held onto a catch in the slip cordon. The incident took place on the first ball of the 15th over, bowled by Axar Patel. Smith went for a drive off Axar but got a thick edge. Kohli, stationed at first slip, didn't anticipate the pace of the ball and was late to react to it. Hence, he made a mess of the chance and gave a reprieve to the dangerman Smith.

Australian pacer Kane Richardson heaped praise on India batter Suryakumar Yadav after he smashed a brilliant fifty in the warm-up game between the two sides at the Gabba in Brisbane on Monday. After playing two warm-up matches against Western Australia XI, India locked horns with Aaron Finch-led Australia on Monday (October 17) to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the start of their campaign in T20 World Cup 2022.

Suryakumar continued his purple patch with the bat in the warm-up game against Finch &amp; Co. as he slammed 50 off 33 balls laced with six fours and a solitary six. Fifties from him and opener KL Rahul helped India post a strong total of 186 runs on the board in 20 overs.

While it was a brilliant batting effort from India, Australian bowlers couldn't impress much in what was a dismal performance from the hosts. Barring Richardson, Australian bowlers were taken to the cleaners by the Indian batters in the warm-up match.

Richardson, who picked up the wickets of Suryakumar, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik and R Ashwin, finished with excellent figures of 4/30 in his four overs. The Australian pacer was left in awe of Suryakumar's batting prowess and called the Indian batter the best in the world at present.

"I think it was the first time he (Suryakumar Yadav) missed the middle of the bat against us. He's one of the best batters in the world at the moment, so it was good taking him on," Richardson said after India's innings in the warm-up game.

Richardson said he is not expecting to make the cut in Australia's playing XI when they begin their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign against trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand on October 22. However, the pacer wants to be ready if he is called upon in case of an injury.

"I'm not expecting to start, but if anything happens with form or injury, I could be in, just happy to be out in the middle today," said Richardson.

Having lost their last warm-up game against the Western Australia XI, India will be hopeful of bouncing back to winning ways by defending the total of 186 runs against Australia at the Gabba on Sunday.

India defeated Australia by six runs in a warm-up match between the two sides ahead of the start of their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign on Monday (October 17). Mohammed Shami's heroics in the last over saw India defend 11 runs off it as the hosts fell short in the 187-run chase at The Gabba in Brisbane.

Shami, who was initially not a part of India's playing XI for the warm-up match, was called up by skipper Rohit Sharma to bowl the final over during Australia's innings with 11 runs to defend. Shami, who last played a T20I for India during the T20 World Cup last year, delivered an exceptional 20th over as he went on to pick three wickets.

Australia lost as many as four wickets on successive deliveries with Shami scalping three of them. He started off by conceding four runs off the first two deliveries before Cummins tried to go big on the third delivery and was caught by Virat Kohli on the boundary rope at long-on.

Kohli, who was stationed at the boundary rope, pulled off a one-handed screamer to send Cummins packing. It was a low full-toss from Shami which was pummelled by Cummins and the ball looked set to clear the ropes. However, Kohli cut it short on the edge of the boundary and timed his jump to perfection to pluck&nbsp;a stunner with just one hand&nbsp;making the difficult catch look easy.

After Cummins was caught on the third delivery of the 20th over, Australia lost the plot in the final moments of the run-chase as they ended up losing wickets on each of the remaining three deliveries. Ashton Agar was run-out on the fourth delivery before Shami nailed lethal yorkers to clean up Josh Inglis and Kane Richardson on successive deliveries.

While he was excellent on the field, Kohli didn't have an ideal outing with the bat as he could only manage 19 runs off 13 balls after coming out to bat at no.3 during India's innings. Brilliant fifties from KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav propelled India to a strong total of 186 runs, batting first in the game before the bowlers successfully defended it.

This was Kohli's first full-time appearance in a warm-up game for India ahead of the start of their T20 World Cup campaign in Australia. The senior batter had missed India's first warm-up game against Western Australia XI and only came out to field and didn't bat in the second warm-up against Western Australia XI.

India defeated Australia by six runs in a warm-up match between the two sides ahead of the start of their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign on Monday (October 17). Mohammed Shami's heroics in the last over saw India defend 11 runs off it as the hosts fell short in the 187-run chase at The Gabba in Brisbane.

India defeated Australia by six runs in a warm-up match between the two sides ahead of the start of their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign on Monday (October 17). Mohammed Shami's heroics in the last over saw India defend 11 runs off it as the hosts fell short in the 187-run chase at The Gabba in Brisbane. Shami, who was initially not a part of India's playing XI for the warm-up match, was called up by skipper Rohit Sharma to bowl the final over during Australia's innings with 11 runs to defend. Shami, who last played a T20I for India during the T20 World Cup last year, delivered an exceptional 20th over as he went on to pick three wickets. Australia lost as many as four wickets on successive deliveries with Shami scalping three of them. He started off by conceding four runs off the first two deliveries before Cummins tried to go big on the third delivery and was caught by Virat Kohli on the boundary rope at long-on. Kohli, who was stationed at the boundary rope, pulled off a one-handed screamer to send Cummins packing. It was a low full-toss from Shami which was pummelled by Cummins and the ball looked set to clear the ropes. However, Kohli cut it short on the edge of the boundary and timed his jump to perfection to pluck a stunner with just one hand making the difficult catch look easy.

Senior India batter Virat Kohli continued his purple patch in the third T20I against Australia on Sunday as he notched up a brilliant half-century to help India win by six wickets and seal the three-match series 2-1. Kohli slammed 63 runs off 48 balls laced with three fours and four sixes to help India chase down the target of 187 runs.

Kohli achieved yet another major milestone with his match-winning fifty as he overtook the legendary Rahul Dravid to become India's second-highest run-getter in international cricket. With head coach Dravid looking on from the dugout during the third T20I in Nagpur, Kohli went past him on the elite list of all-time highest run-getters for India.

With his 48-ball 63, Kohli extended his tally to 24,078 runs in a total of 471 matches across formats in international cricket. Dravid finished his career with 24,064 runs for the Indian team in 404 matches across all three formats in international cricket. Kohli is now only behind the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the elite list.

Virat Kohli surpasses Rahul Dravid to become India's second-highest run-getter in international cricket

Virat Kohli's scintillating strokeplay found its match in maverick Suryakumar Yadav's batting pyrotechnics as the duo fashioned India's series-clinching six-wicket win over Australia in the third and final T20 International here on Sunday.

Kohli (63 off 48 balls) and Suryakumar (69 off 36 balls) shared a 104-run partnership to lay the platform for the Indian victory. India won the three-match series 2-1. Cameron Green (52) scored upfront while Tim David (54) provided the final flourish as Australia posted 186 for six after being invited to bat.

With the pitch offering grip and turn, Axar Patel(3/33) picked three wickets, while also executing a sensational run out. Yuzvendra Chahal (1/22) was also in his element, bowling an economical spell.

Chasing 187, India didn't have the best of starts as openers KL Rahul (1) and Rohit Sharma (17) were out inside the first four overs. But Kohli and Suryakumar batted with authority, hitting boundaries and sixes at regular intervals to keep the required run rate in check as Australian bowlers struggled to find answers. While Suryakumar orchestrated the carnage, Kohli played the second fiddle.

At the halfway mark India needed 96 with eight wickets in hand. Suryakumar soon brought his fifty as the duo plundered 15 off Adam Zampa's 13th over. Australia fashioned a comeback, ending Suryakumar's outstanding innings with India needing 53 off the last six overs.

Kohli, however, continued to go about his business, whacking Pat Cummins for a six in the very next over. He brought his first fifty of the series in 36 balls.

Australia bowled some tight overs to keep themselves in the hunt. But Hardik (25 not out) and Kohli slammed a couple of sixes but the latter was out leaving India in need of five runs from four balls.

Earlier, Green was on the offensive from the start. He smashed the second delivery to square leg for a massive six, which was followed by a boundary as Australia collected 12 off the first over after being asked to bat.

Green continued the onslaught, smashing Jasprit Bumrah (0/50) for a four before hitting back-to-back sixes, including one that went to the second tier much to the dismay of the partisan crowd.

With Australia going over 13 runs per over, Axar provided the home side with the first breakthrough as he bowled a slower one, forcing Aaron Finch (7) to mistime the shot with Hardik collecting the ball at mid-on.

Green brought his 50 in 19 balls in the fifth over, his innings studded with seven fours and three sixes. But the opener was soon sent packing by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/39), who bowled slightly wide only for the Australian to slash the ball to KL Rahul.

Australia plundered 66 runs for the loss off two wickets from the Powerplay. But Glenn Maxwell's (6) woeful run continued as Axar executed a brilliant run out with a direct hit from the boundary.

There was some doubt whether it was a run-out as wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik's glove had knocked out one bail but in the end the decision went in India's favour. Just before the halfway mark Karthik stumped Smith (8) who was deceived by Chahal's wrong 'un as the Australian innings seemed to fall apart.

But Josh Inglis (24) and David steadied the Australian innings as the visitors made a comeback. Skipper Rohit Sharma introduced Harshal Patel (1/18) in the 13th over but his struggles continued. The medium pacer was first hit for six, which was followed by a no-ball and a wide.

Rohit then brought Axar back into the attack and the left-armer immediately repaid the skipper's faith by getting rid off Inglis and danger-man Matthew Wade.

The strapping David slammed two consecutive sixes and a four off Bhuvneshwar, who missed his length in the 18th over. Sloppy fielding from India towards the end only added to Australia's total.

Kohli and Suryakumar smash brilliant fifties as India beat Australia by 6 wickets in 3rd T20I to clinch series

India will take on Australia in the series-deciding third T20I in Hyderabad on Sunday. After facing a defeat in the series-opener, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. bounced back strongly in the second T20I to level the series 1-1 and will be aiming to clinch the three-match rubber in the third and final encounter on Sunday.

India won the rain-curtailed 2nd T20I by six wickets after comfortably chasing down the tricky target of 91 runs with four balls to spare in the 8 over-a-side contest. Skipper Rohit Sharma looked in great touch as he played a match-winning knock of unbeaten 46 while Dinesh Karthik came up with a fiery 2-ball 10 cameo to take India home.

India will be hopeful of continuing their winning run in the series-decider on Sunday and will have some tough calls to make as far as the playing XI is concerned. With Jasprit Bumrah returning in the second T20I, India had left out senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar to play an extra batter in Rishabh Pant.

However, Bhuveneshwar is likely to return to the XI on Sunday and it remains to be seen if Pant will keep his spot ahead of Karthik, who has been in terrific form so far this year. India might also look at dropping Yuzvendra Chahal, who has struggled so far in the series, to make way for R Ashwin.

Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya are likely to be the two all-rounders providing balance to the attack while Harshal Patel is also expected to get a consistent run in order to find his rhythm ahead of the T20 World Cup next month. With Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah back in the mix, India will have their best strength attack after a while in T20Is.

Will R Ashwin replace Yuzvendra Chahal? India's predicted XI for series-deciding 3rd T20I against Australia

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was on fire with the ball as he made a strong comeback from injury in the second T20I against Australia in Nagpur on Friday. Bumrah looked in a great rhythm and bowled a sensational yorker to clean up Aussie skipper Aaron Finch in his very first over in the game.

Bumrah was sidelined for a couple of months due to a back injury and missed the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022. The premier fast bowler also didn't feature in the series-opener between India and Australia earlier this week before making his comeback to take Umesh Yadav's place in the playing XI in the second T20I on Friday.

Bumrah came out to bowl for the first time in the 5th over of the rain-curtailed encounter. He bowled a searing yorker to rattle Finch's stumps and send him packing on 31 off 15 balls to reduce Australia to 46/4 in the 8-overs-a-side contest. Bumrah bowled two overs in the game and finished with figures of 1/23.

Impressed with his heroics against Australia, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria lauded the Indian pacer and said he will be breaking the toes of many batters in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022. Kaneria also pointed out how Bumrah was on top of his pace during the game.

"Jasprit Bumrah is back on track. Opposing teams must be cautious as he appears to be in great rhythm. While he started with a wide, it was over 140 kph. He then bowled a brilliant yorker to dismiss Aaron Finch," Kaneria said in a video on his YouTube channel.

"Finch couldn't stop himself from applauding the delivery. It is never easy to make a comeback after an injury. He bowled an excellent spell under pressure. He is going to break people's toes at the T20 World Cup," he added.

He is going to break toes: Ex-Pakistan spinner lauds Jasprit Bumrah after his heroics against Australia

Skipper Rohit Sharma played a brilliant knock of 20-ball 46 to help India beat Australia in the rain-affected second T20I between the two sides at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Friday. India chased down the target of 91 runs with four balls to spare in the 8-overs-a-side contest.&nbsp;

With the victory, India managed to equal a world record set by Pakistan in T20Is. The Men in Blue have now managed 20 wins in 28 T20I matches so far this year, which is the most by any team in a calendar year as far as the shortest format is concerned. Pakistan won 20 T20Is last year under Babar Azam's captaincy to attain the record.

India are now just one win away from surpassing Pakistan to set a new world record.
