India vs Australia: Rinku Singh's Last-Ball Six That Did Not Count - Here's What ICC's Rule Says

Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy debut got off to a dream start as India defeated Australia by three wickets in a high-scoring thriller at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Chasing a target of 208, Suryakumar played one of his trademark T20I knocks, hitting 80 off just 42 balls to put India in control. However, after his departure, India lost three wickets in the space of 14 runs, only for Rinku Singh to seal the deal for India. With Australia pacer Sean Abbott left to defend one run off one delivery, Rinku stayed calm and hit the ball over long-on for a huge six.

Depleted Australia Face Uphill Battle At Champions Trophy

An Australia team struggling for confidence and missing the wealth of experience that has long been the backbone of their success face a daunting task to win a first Champions Trophy title since 2009. The World Cup holders are without their "Big Three" pacemen -- Pat Cummins (ankle), Josh Hazlewood (hip) and Mitchell Starc, who has opted out for personal reasons. It is a giant hole to fill with the trio sharing 525 ODI wickets across a combined 308 games. Add in the absence of all-rounders Mitchell Marsh (back) and Marcus Stoinis (retired), and half of their regular team is missing.

"A Master At Work": Australia Pacer's Blockbuster Praise For Jasprit Bumrah

Australia fast-bowler Sean Abbott was effusive in his praise for Jasprit Bumrah, saying that the current generation is seeing a master at work, adding that his unusual bowling action being never tinkered is a big blessing. In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy currently locked at 1-1, Bumrah has picked an impressive 21 wickets, while averaging 10.9, making him the leading wicket-taker overall in the five-match series. "He has any delivery on tap, the accuracy, the pace. He just ticks all the boxes, session after session. There's not been one time when he's bowled in this series where he hasn't been putting pressure on the Australian batsmen. I take my hat off to him, it's been unreal. We're seeing a master at work."
