India vs Australia T20 record at Gabba

The only previous T20 match between India and Australia at Gabba was played on November 21, 2018. That match was also affected by rain, which Australia won under the Duckworth-Lewis rule. Batting first, Australia had scored 158 runs, Team India had a target of 174 runs in 17 overs to win but India could score only 169 runs.

Adam Zampa was elected player of the match in that match, he took 2 important wickets in the form of KL Rahul (13) and Virat Kohli (4).

Kuldeep Yadav took the most wickets in that match. It was surprising that the spinners were dominating on a pitch which usually favors fast bowlers.

Adam Zampa had bowled well in the last T20 also, while Kuldeep Yadav was dropped after the second T20. Washington Sundar was played in place of Kuldeep, it is difficult for Kuldeep to return in the fifth match. India would not like to tamper with the combination of the winning team.

A total of 32 matches have been played between India and Australia in T20, in which India has the upper hand. India has won 20 matches and Australia has won 11 matches.

Suryakumar Yadav could not score big even in the fourth T20 against Australia, his bad form is not in this series but in the last few series. His condition is similar to that of Pakistan’s Babar Azam, who was left out of the Asia Cup team due to his poor form.

In the fourth T20, the Indian team has been able to score only 167 runs while playing first. At one time the Indian batsmen had scored 121 runs at the loss of 2 wickets, but after that wickets kept falling rapidly. There was a change in the batting order, as Shivam Dubey was seen batting at number-3. In particular, Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa wreaked havoc on the Indian batting line-up, both took three wickets each.

Gill and Abhishek got off to a good start

Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma gave a good start to Team India. Both of them made an opening partnership of 56 runs, but Abhishek was out on the score of 28 while trying to play a big shot. Shivam Dubey, who usually bats in the middle order, came to bat at number three. Dubey scored 22 runs, while captain Suryakumar Yadav made a good start by swinging the bat in a explosive manner, also hitting 2 sixes but ended after scoring 20 runs.

2 wickets fell at 121, then…

At one time the Indian team had lost only 2 wickets on the score of 121 runs. After that there was such a fall of wickets that within the next 15 runs, four batsmen were out. Tilak Verma and Jitesh Sharma could not even touch double figures in terms of runs. The seventh wicket fell at the score of 152 and Washington Sundar also left after hitting 2 fours. Thanks to Akshar Patel’s cameo inning of 21 runs, Team India was able to reach beyond 160.

Nathan Ellis proved to be the most lethal bowler for Australia, taking three wickets for just 21 runs in 4 overs. Adam Zampa proved to be expensive, but he also dismissed three batsmen of Team India. Xavier Bartlett and Marcus Stoinis took one wicket each.

These 3 changes

Arshdeep Singh has been included in India’s playing 11 today. Along with him, Washington Sundar and Jitesh Sharma also got a chance today. Sanju Samson, Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav have been left out.

One change in Australia’s playing 11

Playing 11: Mitchell Marsh (captain), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wicket-keeper), Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Matt Short, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Sean Abbott, Matt Kuhneman.

Host Australia is leading 1-0 in the series. If Australia wins today, then Team India will not be able to win this series again, even after winning the last 2 matches, Suryakumar Yadav’s team will only be able to draw the 5-match series. Australia has won all its 5 T20 matches played earlier on this ground in Hobart, whereas Team India is playing its first T20 here today.

India vs Australia second T20 match is being played in Melbourne. Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be very good in the first 10 overs. The Indian team had lost the first 5 wickets till the score was only 49. Despite the continuous fall of wickets, Abhishek Sharma continued his stormy batting, but the most talked about person was Harshit Rana, who was sent to bat at number seven.

In the last one year, India’s batting order was completely set from top to bottom. In such a situation, Gautam Gambhir has invited criticism by sending Harshit Rana to the seventh position. The situation was such that Shivam Dubey had to sit on the bench because of Harshit. On social media, people have even started calling Gautam Gambhir the new Greg Chappell.

Gautam Gambhir got trolled

A fan wrote on social media that he is fed up with the partiality in the Indian team, because Harshit Rana is being given a chance by keeping Arshdeep out. One person wrote that I don’t know what kind of attachment Gambhir has with Harshit. People raised big questions on the question of sending Harshit to bat before Shivam Dubey.

Gautam Gambhir’s decision to change the batting order was even called a stupid decision. Another person said that Gautam Gambhir is slowly becoming Greg Chappell, whose aim is to ruin Indian cricket. He said that now that Harshit Rana has been sent to bat above Shivam Dubey, he hopes that Gambhir will be dismissed soon.

Mr. Gambhir is the new Greg Chappel here to ruin Indian Cricket.
Now Harshit Rana is sent before Shivam Dube.
I hope he gets fired soon. https://t.co/dU0Xteu2Qm

Idiotic decision by Gautam Gambhir to send Harshit Rana before Shivam Dube.#AUSvIND

To see your Lord Greatest All rounder Harshit Rana play it was sold out

— Aman Gulati (@iam_amangulati) October 31, 2025

What was that batting plan, seriously?

Samson at 3 ahead of SKY, and sending Harshit Rana to bat when a proper batsman like Dube was available was even strange. Pure confusion out there. #INDvsAUS #StarNiAdugu@GautamGambhir

In the second T20 match being played in Melbourne, India scored 125 runs while playing first. Abhishek Sharma single-handedly played a brilliant inning of 68 runs. The second highest score for Team India was made by Harshit Rana, who played an important inning of 35 runs while batting at seventh position. Apart from Abhishek and Harshit, no other Indian batsman could even touch double figures in terms of runs.

The Indian team had a very bad start. Shubman Gill was out after scoring 5 runs in the third over itself. The team management perhaps made the conditions a little difficult for the Indian batsmen by changing the batting order. Captain Suryakumar, who usually plays at number 3, came at fourth position, while Sanju Samson was sent at third position. As a result, Surya and Samson walked out after scoring 1 and 2 runs respectively.

Due to this strategy, even Tilak Verma, who had maintained his form in the Asia Cup, did not work. Tilak came at number-5, who could not even open the account. Axar Patel looked in good touch, but he too was run out on the score of 7 runs.

Only Abhishek-Harshit should go

The Indian team had lost 5 wickets at the score of 49. Abhishek stood firm at the other end and played a stormy innings of 68 runs in 37 balls. He hit 8 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. The team management sent Harshit Rana to bat at number 7 above Shivam Dubey. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, Harshit Rana played an important inning of 35 runs.

Josh Hazlewood was the most successful bowler for Australia, taking three wickets for just 13 runs in 4 overs. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis took two wickets each and Marcus Stoinis also managed to take one wicket. Two Indian batsmen, Akshar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah were run out.

Josh Hazlewood’s lethal bowling was seen in the India vs Australia second T20 being played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, he bowled 3 overs in the powerplay and took 3 big wickets. He gave only 6 runs and made Shubhman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma his victims. With this he made a big record in his name.

In the second T20, Mitchell Marsh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Batting first, India got the first blow on the score of 20, vice-captain Shubman Gill was out after scoring 5 runs after playing 10 balls. He was dismissed by Hosh Hazlewood. After this Sanju Samson became the victim of Nathan Ellis, he could score only 2 runs.

Josh Hazlewood dismissed Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma respectively on the third and fifth balls of the 5th over. On the second ball of the over, the wicket keeper had given up an easy catch of Suryakumar, but Hazlewood bowled the next ball on a good length and was again caught by the wicket keeper. Tilak Verma went to hit a big shot but the ball only went high, the wicket keeper took an easy catch.

Josh Hazlewood created history

Josh Hazlewood has become the joint second bowler for Australia to take the most T20 International wickets. He has equaled Mitchell Starc, taking 79 wickets in T20. Starc also had the same number of wickets, he has retired from T20 International cricket. The highest wicket taker for Australia in this format is Adam Zampa, who took 131 wickets.

Abhishek Sharma played important innings

Half of the Indian team had returned to the pavilion within 50 runs (49), the fifth wicket had fallen in the form of Axar Patel. He was run out. After this, there was a good partnership between Harshit Rana and Abhishek Sharma, while on one hand the Indian batsmen were not able to survive, on the other hand Abhishek completed his half-century in 23 balls.
