India vs Aus 1st T20I: How India lost the plot in overs 17-19 and the death overs bowling conundrum

Australia's 4 wicket win was also another reminder that Team India need to work on a few areas of concern as they count down to the T20 World Cup later this year. Is there enough time though is the million dollar question. The last edition in 2021 is one that the Men in Blue would not want to have any memories of, considering the team, one of the favourites to clinch the title, crashed out in the group stage itself, marking the first instance of the team not playing the semi-finals of an ICC event in 9 years.

Watch: Hardik Pandya Hits Hat-Trick Of Sixes Off Last 3 Balls In 1st T20I vs Australia

Hardik Pandya played a stunning unbeaten knock of 71 off 30 deliveries on Tuesday in Mohali, although his effort went in vain as Australia came out on top in the first T20I against India. Put in to bat first, India posted a total of 208/6, with Hardik providing the firepower at the death. The all-rounder, enjoying a great streak of form, was striking well throughout his innings, but especially turned up the heat against Cameron Green in the final over of India's innings. After turning down Harshal Patel for a single off the second delivery, and managing two runs off the third, Hardik went 6, 6, 6 off the last three balls to take India to a strong total.

IND vs AUS: Important To give Jasprit Bumrah Enough Time After Comeback From Injury, Says Hardik Pandya

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya said the team will not put too much pressure on Jasprit Bumrah and give him ample time to make his comeback from an injury after the pacer was not included in India's playing XI for the first T20I against Australia. Bumrah was missed badly in the series opener against Australia on Tuesday as the visitors chased down 209 rather comfortably to register a four-wicket win and take the lead in the three-match series. Barring Axar Patel, all Indian bowlers leaked more than 11 runs per over.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's death over bowling is real concern: Sunil Gavaskar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's poor show at the death overs is a "real concern" for India, going into next month's T20 World Cup. Bhuvneshwar has leaked quite a lot of runs at the death in the last few matches. His 16-run 19th over allowed Australia to pull off a record chase of 209 in the first T20I in Mohali on Tuesday night. "I don't think there was too much dew. We didn't see the fielders or bowlers trying to use the towel to try and dry their fingers. That's not an excuse. We didn't bowl well. For example, that 19th over... that's a real concern," Gavaskar said on 'Sports Today'. "Somebody like a Bhuvneshwar Kumar is going for runs every single time, when he is expected. In 18 deliveries he has bowled in three matches against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and now Australia, he has given away 49 runs.
