SYDNEY : All-rounder Cameron Green has been rewarded for his performances in India with a spot in the Australia Twenty20 squad for two World Cup warm-ups against West Indies in Queensland next week.
Ajay Jadeja has called Virat Kohli as one of the best chase masters in the world of cricket, adding that the solidity the former skipper provides to the team is just unrivalled. Virat played a pivotal role in helping India win the three-match T20I series against Australia in the last game at Hyderabad, scoring a 48-ball 63 that helped the hosts chase down the Kangaroos' competitive target of 187 to seal the series 2-1.
Rohit Sharma notched yet another bilateral series win as India captain as his side defeated Australia in a T20I game in Hyderabad on Sunday. Chasing a target of 187, India reached the mark in 19.5 overs. Skipper Rohit scored 17 off 14 balls. His short innings included one six and two fours. He showed signs of being aggressive and got caught out after charging down the track against Pat Cummins in the fourth over. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar said that with the batting depth, Rohit can take his chances.
Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav batted beautifully in India's chase of 187 in the third T20I against Australia in Hyderabad on Sunday. Even after the latter fell for a destructive 69, Kohli hit a pristine six off Pat Cummins and it looked like he and Hardik Pandya would take India home comfortably. However, Australia applied the pressure and the match went to the final over with India needing 11 off the last six balls. Kohli hit a six off the first delivery of the 20th over to take the pressure off but fell the very next delivery. Hardik, however, ensured India won the match with one ball to spare.
Suryakumar Yadav is a vital player for India going into the 2022 T20 World Cup. He is currently ranked No. 3 in the world in T20Is and batting at No. 4 provides solidity to the Indian middle order. The star's brilliance was visible yet again on Sunday as he smashed 69 off just 36 balls in the third T20I against Australia. His innings included five sixes and five fours. He reached the 50-run mark off just 29 balls when he hit Adam Zampa for the maximum in the 13th over. It was a perfect helicopter shot and showed Suryakumar's prowess.
Ravindra Jadeja's absence from the T20 series was expected to weaken India but the hosts found an able replacement in "outstanding" Axar Patel, said Australia coach Andrew McDonald. Left-arm spinner Axar, who was shoed in as a like-for-like replacement for the injured Jadeja, impressed everyone with his bowling, ending as the leading wicket-taker in the three-match series. "Axar, in particular, had an outstanding series. With Jaddu out everyone thought that it might become a bit of a weakness for India, but they've found another one again, which tends to happen," McDonald said at the post-match press conference after India clinched the series.

The Australian bowling attack, comprising the pace duo of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, was taken to the cleaners by the Indian batters.
Virat Kohli anchored India's innings with a 63-run knock off 48 balls as the side chased down 187 runs against Australia in the third and deciding T20I to clinch the series 2-1. India were tottering at 30 for 2 at one stage in the chase, but a 104-run partnership between Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav for the third wicket kept India in the hunt at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The Rohit Sharma-led side eventually went on to win the game by 6 wickets on the penultimate ball of the innings.
