India vs Australia 3rd T20I Highlights: Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli power India to a six-wicket win in series decider

Virat Kohli struck some welcome form with a 48-ball 63 (3x4, 4x6) and though he fell with just five needed off five balls, the Delhi batter had ensured a victory. Hardik Pandya remained unbeaten on 25 as the Indians replied with 187 for four with a ball to spare. In the end, the difference between the teams was the steady show of the Indian batters in the middle overs. Scorecard | As it happenedBut the win was really set up by a Mumbaikar for whom the sky is no limit. Suryakumar Yadav stole the thunder from the Australians. Coming into bat with India, chasing a tricky 188, delicately placed at 30 for two, Suryakumar along with Virat Kohli strung a match-winning 104-run partnership off 62 balls for the third wicket. The Indians didn't get the start which they wanted as KL Rahul (1) and skipper Rohit Sharma (17) fell with just 30 on the board. But Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav took up the challenge as they slowly clawed their way back into the innings. Kohli did the bulk of the scoring initially before Suryakumar joined the party.

The Australians, who till that time looked on top, began to wilt under the pressure. After 10 overs, the Indians were 91 for two – five runs more than the Australians at that stage of their innings. Once Suryakumar warmed up, Kohli played the second fiddle allowing his junior to take on the Australian attack. The Indians opened up after the seventh over as runs came in a steady flow. Suryakumar raced to his half-century off 29 balls with four fours and three sixes. When he departed in the 14th over, he had got himself 69 off 36 balls with five fours and an equal number over the fence. Kohli went on to complete his half-century off 37 balls with three fours and three sixes.
