After India's 20-run victory against Australia in the fourth T20I match at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Friday, the 'Men in Blue' skipper Suryakumar Yadav praised his side and said that the players have shown character to seal a win. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Suryakumar revealed that in the team meeting, he asked the players to be fearless in the game. He also hailed Axar Patel and said that the way he bowled was unbelievable. "Other than toss, everything (went well). Boys showed character and that was most important for us.

India vs Australia: Jitesh Sharma's Powerful Shot Hits Umpire. What Followed Has Gone Viral

A somewhat unique incident unfolded during the fourth T20I encounter between India and Australia in Raipur when a powerful shot from Jitesh Sharma hit umpire Anantha Padmanabhan. During the 15th over of the Indian innings, Jitesh slammed a delivery from Chris Green straight back at the bowler and it was so quick that the umpire had no time to dodge it. The bowler was not able to take the catch and the ball crashed straight on Padmanabhan's arm. Although it was the umpire who suffered a slight injury, he was quick to apologise to the batter as the ball did not go for a boundary due to his accidental interference.

Aiming To Seal Series, India Need Young Bowlers To Deliver vs Australia

India's young bowling unit, which has been under the pump, will look to better its death overs performance while utilising Glenn Maxwell's absence to its advantage in the fourth T20 International against Australia on Friday. India's second-string attack did not paint a good picture of itself by not defending 40-plus runs in the final two overs in the third match which the Australians won while chasing a daunting 223-run target. There is a possibility of a minor tweak in the Indian line-up after Prasidh Krishna gave away 68 runs in four overs, including 21 in the final over. Deepak Chahar is back in the T20 mix and his ability to move the new ball should be considered for his inclusion in the playing XI along with death overs specialist Mukesh Kumar, who is back after one-match break.
