In the first T20I of the three-match series, India defeated Australia by 11 runs at Ma𓆏nuka Oval in Canberra on Friday (De🍸cember 4).
Australia had a very good start to their chase of 162 runs as they managed to post 53 runs on the scoreboꦜard in the first six ovﷺers.
It looked like that the hosts would easily chase down the target, but Yuzvendra Chahal, who came in as a concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja, c🦩ompletely changed the game by picking up three wickets.
Yuzi took the prized scalps of Aussie skipper Aaron Finch, inform Steve Smith and wicket-keeper Matthew Wade. The wicket of Smith was a bit extraordinary as Sanju Samson assisted Yuzvendra by taking an unbelievable 🐲catch.
It all happened in the 10th over when Smith connected a slog sweep towards the deep mid-wicket region but didn’t timed it too well. Samson came running towards the ball and dived forward to pull-off a stunner.
Here is the video:
What a grab! 🤩
