The fifth T20 match between India and Australia has been canceled due to rain. Only 4.5 overs were played in the match, in which Team India had scored 52 runs. After that the match could not be started again. With this, the Indian team has won the five-match series 2-1. As head coach, Gautam Gambhir has continued the streak of not losing the T20 series.

In the fifth T20 match played at the historic Gabba ground in Brisbane, Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first. When Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma came to start the Indian innings, both of them started swinging the bat from the very beginning. Team India scored 19 runs in the first 2 overs, but within no time the score had reached 47 runs in 4 overs.

The fifth ball of the fifth over was bowled, after which the game was stopped due to heavy rain. After that, when the match could not start for about 2 hours and 15 minutes, the match was declared cancelled. Earlier, the first match of the series was also lost due to rain.

India won the series 2-1

The first match was washed out due to rain, whereas in the second T20 match played in Melbourne, the Australian team won by 4 wickets. But in the third match, Team India made a comeback and won by 5 wickets. In this match, India won due to the lethal bowling of Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakraborty. After that, Team India won the fourth match and took a 2-1 lead in the series.

India was leading 2-1 in the series, so the cancellation of the Brisbane T20 match went in favor of the Indian team. As a result, they have won the series 2-1.

India vs Australia 5th T20 played in Brisbane was canceled due to rain, but Team India won the series 2-1. The pair of Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav have won the 5th consecutive T20 series, this is a happy moment for the whole of India.

After T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the head coach of Team India. After winning the World Cup, Rohit Sharma also took retirement from T20, after which Suryakumar Yadav was made the captain. The pairing of both was a hit in this format. Gambhir as coach and Surya as captain played the first T20 series against Sri Lanka, which was won 3-0.

Surya-Gambhir pair won 5th consecutive T20 series

• Beat Sri Lanka 3-0 (2024)
• Beat Bangladesh 3-0 (2024)
• Beat South Africa 3-1 (2024)
• Beat England 4-1 (2025)
• Beat Australia 2-1 (2025)

India has defeated Australia by 48 runs in the fourth T20 match. With this, Team India has taken a 2-1 lead in the five-match T20 series. In this match played in Queensland, the Indian team batted first and scored 167 runs, in response the Australian team was all out after scoring only 119 runs. Washington Sundar was India’s most successful bowler, who bowled only 8 balls and took 3 wickets.

Team India’s batting line-up had collapsed. Shubman Gill played an inning of 46 runs and Shubman Gill played an inning of 28 runs. Apart from him, captain Suryakumar Yadav scored 20 runs in 10 balls in a explosive manner. But other batsmen could not perform anything special. Looking at the score of 167 runs, it seemed as if there were at least 20-30 runs less in the Indian innings.

havoc of indian bowlers

At one time the Australian team was moving towards an easy victory. From the very beginning, the Indian bowlers did not give the Australian batsmen a chance to open their hands, but the Kangaroo team had scored 67 runs at the loss of just one wicket. Due to playing to save wickets, the required run rate for the Australian team kept on increasing, due to which other batsmen also started losing their wickets while trying to play fast shots.

Amazing work of Sundar-Dubey-Patel trio

Washington Sundar, Shivam Dubey and Axar Patel together broke the back of the Australian batting line-up. All three together took 7 wickets. Especially Washington Sundar did wonders, who bowled only 8 balls, in which he took three wickets for just 3 runs. The magic of this trio was that Australia’s last 7 wickets fell within just 28 runs. Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah took one wicket each.

Due to an additional batting option in the T20 series against Australia, Harshit Rana is getting a place in the playing 11, while fast bowler Arshdeep is not getting a place in the playing eleven. Former cricketer R Ashwin has also raised questions regarding this, he said that he (Arshdeep) should be with Bumrah. He was seen angry at the team management.

The journalist who was talking to Ashwin in the show ‘Aish Ki Baat’ on YouTube channel asked, “How difficult is it to keep Arshdeep out of Melbourne? Because there is a debate going on about it. On this, Ashwin said, “I am tired of answering this question. When you talk about Arshdeep Singh, the question arises as to whose place he can play. He can replace only one person, that is Harshit Rana. But the problem is that today’s debate is whether we played with an extra spinner? Perhaps, on a pitch where we saw so much bounce and spice, we could have played with an extra fast bowler along with Harshit Rana.”

Arshdeep should be the second main fast bowler- Ashwin

Ashwin further said, “But my point is that Arshdeep Singh’s name should be in the list as the second main fast bowler when Bumrah is playing, if Bumrah is not playing then Arshdeep should be the first main fast bowler. I am not able to understand how Arshdeep Singh can be left out of the playing 11. I really don’t understand.”

Ashwin made it clear in his words that there is no talk of ousting Harshit Rana, but it is only for Arshdeep Singh. He said, “Harshit Rana made a good contribution with the bat today, this is not about him at all, it is about Arshdeep Singh. The performance he has shown in the T20 World Cup 2024, since then he has been out of the team continuously. He was kept on the bench so many times that his rhythm got disturbed a bit.”

He further added, “We saw in the Asia Cup, he bowled well, he made very good comeback spells, but he looked a bit out of form. Even your champion bowler will fade away if you don’t play him. It is a really difficult situation for Arshdeep and I hope he starts getting the place he deserves. He deserves a place in the team and it is not about anyone else, please play him.”

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.”

Jasprit Bumrah was greatly missed by the Indian team in the ODI series against Australia, where Team India lost the series by 1-2. Now it is the turn of T20 and the good thing is that Bumrah, one of the most lethal bowlers in the world, is a part of this series. The first T20 will be played in Canberra (Manuka Oval) on Wednesday. Bumrah can create history in the first T20, he needs only 4 wickets. If this did not happen in the first match then it is possible in the next match, if nothing untoward happens then it is certain that he will make a big record in his name by taking 4 wickets in this series itself.

If he completes his 100 wickets in T20, he will become the first bowler for India to take at least 100 wickets each in all three formats (T20, ODI and Test).

Only 4 bowlers in the world could do this

Jasprit Bumrah will be the 5th bowler in the world to do so. So far, bowlers who have taken at least 100 wickets in every format include Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka), Tim Southee (New Zealand), Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh) and Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan).
