Ravi Bishnoi castles Travis Head with a ripper

Australia fell short by 6 runs in the 160-run chase in the fifth and final T20I as India sealed the series 4-1. Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 53 while cameos from Jitesh Sharma and Axar Patel helped India post a competitive total on the board. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi was adjudged the Player of the Series.

The Australian cricket team has been in India for over two months now. They did lose the ODI series and the T20I series, but enjoyed an all-important triumph in between – winning their sixth ODI World Cup and thereby adding yet another silverware to the glittering trophy cabinet.

Australia, the current ODI and Test Champions, will now shift their focus to the home season. The Australian cricketing summer will kick off on December 14th. They’ll be hosting Pakistan for three Tests, followed by the West Indian challenge. On the other hand, India’s next assignment is against the Proteas in South Africa scheduled to commence in a week – 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs and 2 Tests.
