Very entertaining first t20. Rinku Singh is emerging out as a finisher that Indian team needs, also India still needs to rectify this where 6th wicket goes and pure bowlers starts coming in.
The first T20 match was really fun for the Indian fans as Australia beat India in the ICC final, India beat Australia in the T20 match. Although India's good and experienced players did not play in the match but got a great win against Australia where the good players and experienced players of Australia played but they could not achieve against India. Due to the excellent batting performance of Ishan Kishan and Sumayakumar Yadav, it was possible to defeat Australia in the match. And Rinku Singh also batted brilliantly and he came in late in the match and finished brilliantly, he will definitely be a part of the Indian team and he is needed in the team.
It was a good match at the end, but I think they should have finished the match at least by 19th over. They only needed 20 runs off 18 balls when SKY departed. Rinku is a good find for India in the lower order; he is a clean hitter of the ball and needs a few balls to settle. I think his performance in the away series will be important to get him into the playing XI for the next T20 World Cup. Arshdeep looked off-colour in the death over along with other bowlers, except the 20th over.
I never imagined that the last over would turn out to be so exciting. India could have won the match in 19 overs. The match was completely under the control of the Indian batsmen. At the end of 17 overs, India's collection was 189 runs. It took them three overs to collect the remaining 19 runs. We even had to wait till the last ball of the 20th over to see India win. Lower-order batsmen should be more responsible. Axar Patel wasted 6 balls at such a crucial moment. He collected only 2 runs off 6 balls. Had Rinku Singh not batted well, India would have lost this match.
