India vs Australia 5th T20 in Brisbane was canceled due to rain, with this India won the 5 match series 2-1. Suryakumar Yadav, who was appointed the captain of this format after the T20 World Cup, has won 5 consecutive T20 series. After this, Surya, who came to the press conference, took a dig at PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who ran away with the Asia Cup trophy won by Team India.

Suryakumar Yadav came to the press conference with Abhishek Sharma, who was adjudged the player of the series. Surya was asked how he felt after touching the trophy? So he also quipped that it felt good to hold the trophy in hand. This was a sarcasm on Mohsin Naqvi. Actually, India had won the trophy by defeating Pakistan in the Asia Cup final, but Mohsin Naqvi took the trophy with himself in a petty act. This was perhaps the first time in history that a trophy was not given to a winning team.

Suryakumar Yadav took a jibe at Mohsin Naqvi

Suryakumar Yadav said in the press conference, “It feels great to finally touch the trophy. When I was handed the series win trophy, I felt it in my hands. Just a few days ago, another trophy has come to India, our women’s team has won the World Cup. That trophy has also come back home. It feels great and it also feels good to touch this trophy.”

According to Times of India, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said, “We had a meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi. The Asia Cup Trophy was not on the agenda of the official meeting, so the ICC arranged a separate meeting with Naqvi. We would like to thank the ICC for making an effort to resolve this dispute. There was a cordial talk between the two sides and both sides want to resolve this issue as soon as possible.”

Gautam Gambhir’s streak of not losing any T20 series continues in Australia as well. In fact, ever since Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian cricket team has not lost a single T20 series. Team India has taken an unassailable 2-1 lead with a 48-run win in the fourth T20 against Australia. The Indian team cannot lose this series now. The 2026 T20 World Cup is coming very close, before that this form of the Indian team is indicating that another trophy is coming.

After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian team has defeated Sri Lanka 3-0, Bangladesh 3-0, South Africa 3-1 and England 4-1 in T20. Now it has a 2-1 lead in the five-match series in Australia and only one match is left in the series.

The trend continues in Australia

On Thursday, the fourth match of India vs Australia T20 series was played in Queensland, in which Team India, playing first, scored 167 runs. In reply, the Australian team was all out on the score of just 119. From India, Washington Sundar and Akshar Patel wreaked havoc with their spin bowling. Sundar bowled only 8 balls, in which he took 3 wickets. On the other hand, Akshar Patel bowled tightly and took 2 wickets.

Australia has been losing T20 series to India at home for a long time. In fact, Australia last defeated India in a T20 series on its soil in the year 2008. After that, while playing the T20 series on Australian soil, India has defeated Australia twice at home, while twice it was successful in drawing the T20 series.

Australian batsmen collapsed

While chasing the target of 168 runs in the fourth T20, Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Short made a partnership of 37 runs for the first wicket. When Marsh was out, Australia’s score was 70 runs at the loss of 3 wickets in 9.2 overs. Australia needed 98 runs in 64 balls to win, the match was close but after this, Australia’s ace batsman proved to be a flop.

Explosive batsmen like Tim David (14), Josh Philip (10), Marcus Stoinis (17), Glenn Maxwell (2) could not do anything, could not even make the match competitive. The entire Australian team collapsed for 119 runs in 18.2 overs. India won by 48 runs and took a 2-1 lead in the 5-match series. The last T20 of the series will be played on Saturday, 8 November.

In the second T20 against Australia, the Indian team, batting first, collapsed for 125 runs, a major reason for this was the fall of 4 wickets in the powerplay. Josh Hazlewood alone took 3 wickets in the powerplay, who gave only 13 runs in his spell of 4 overs. Australia won this match by 4 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series. When Abhishek Sharma, who came to the press conference after the match, came to know that Hazlewood will no longer play in this series, he was shocked.

Except Abhishek Sharma and Harshit Rana, no other Indian batsman could touch double figures in the second T20. While every batsman seemed to be in trouble against the Australian bowlers, Abhishek was scoring runs at a strike rate close to 200. Abhishek scored 68 runs in 37 balls with the help of 8 fours and 2 sixes.

Regarding Josh Hazlewood, Abhishek Sharma said in the press conference after the match, “I have been watching him since the ODI series, I knew that he would challenge us. The way he was bowling today, it was difficult to play in front of him. I wanted to dominate him, but he had his own plans which he was adopting well. For me too, this Spain in front of him was new.”

Josh Hazlewood will not play the next 3 matches

Meanwhile, when the journalist informed him that Josh Hazlewood will not play in the next 3 T20s against India, he was shocked and said, “Is it so? I don’t know but if it is so then it will be a relief. I know that he is a bowler of all three formats. As a batsman, you have to learn to face the best bowlers of the world and this is what I am trying to do.”

Josh Hazlewood was kept from playing the first 2 matches of the T20 series. The first match was canceled due to rain, Australia won the second match by 4 wickets. Hazlewood will now be busy preparing for the Ashes series. India vs Australia 3rd T20 will be played on Sunday, November 2 at Bellerive Oval.

India vs Australia 5 match T20 series starts from Wednesday. The first match will be played in Canberra. Gautam Gambhir will be more worried than the Indian players, who as coach would like to avoid a hat-trick of series defeats against Australia. During his tenure as coach, India won the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup titles but here it is different.

Gautam Gambhir’s first Test series against Australia after being appointed the head coach of the Indian cricket team was BGT (Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25). India took the lead by winning the first match by 295 runs, but Australia won 3 out of the next 4 matches and won the series 3-1. One match ended in a draw.

While Gautam Gambhir was the coach, India won many memorable series and trophies, but Gambhir has not yet forgotten the home series defeat against New Zealand, nor does he want to forget it. Earlier this month he said, “I don’t think I’ll ever forget that series, and I shouldn’t. I remind the players too, sometimes it’s important to remember the past, so you don’t take anything for granted. Everyone thought we would beat New Zealand easily, but that’s the reality of the game. For me, it’s important that the dressing room never forgets what happened against New Zealand.” Forgot. This experience inspires us not to spare even an inch to the opposing team.”

Gautam Gambhir would like to avoid hat-trick of hat-tricks

After the Border Gavaskar Trophy, India played the second series against Australia in ODI format, which was part of this tour. India lost in this too, Australia won the series 2-1. Now it is the turn of T20, Gambhir would not want India to lose 3 consecutive series to Australia while being his coach.

The five-match T-20 series between India and Australia is going to start from October 29 in Australia. Before this important tour, Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav reached Shirdi with his wife Devisha Shetty and had devout darshan in the court of Sai Baba.

On the occasion of Diwali, both of them participated in the midday aarti of Sai Baba and offered prayers. Suryakumar Yadav offered a saffron colored shawl at Sai Samadhi and also visited Dwarkamai and Gurusthan.

Bhimraj Darade, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Sai Baba Sansthan, welcomed Suryakumar Yadav and his family by presenting them Saibaba shawl. After this spiritual journey, Suryakumar Yadav will now leave for Australia. Cricket lovers are hopeful that under his leadership, Team India will perform brilliantly in this T-20 series.

Suryakumar Yadav also went to Mahakal

Suryakumar Yadav had also gone to Mahakal temple in Ujjain about a week ago, he had gone for darshan with his wife and he also participated in Bhasma Aarti. Abhishek Sharma, part of the T20 team, also visited the Golden Temple before leaving for Australia, along with his sister and brother-in-law.
