In a thrilling turn of events, India has bounced back from their defeat in Melbourne to pull off a magnificent triumph in the rain-marred T20I series against Australia. The visitors are now poised to take an unassailable 2-1 lead when they face off against the hosts on November 6 in Gold Coast.

Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh and mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy provided the crucial breakthroughs, while a tight spell from spearhead Jasprit Bumrah ensured Australia finished well below the 200-mark.
In the chase, all-rounder Washington Sundar's unbeaten 49 and multiple influential cameos from the Indian batters steered the team home with five wickets to spare. This spirited fightback from Suryakumar Yadav's men has set the stage for an intriguing finale to the series.
