Suryakumar Yadav led team India got off to a splendid start to the series after winning the opening match in Visakhapatnam by two wickets on Thursday. The Men in Blue recorded their highest successful run-chase after tracking down 209 with one ball to spare.
Earlier, Josh Inglis starred for the visitors by smashing the joint-fastest half-century by an Australian batter in T20Is off 47 balls. Steve Smith also scored a well-made half-century. The duo put on 130 runs for the second wicket to put the Aussies in a commanding position, but their efforts went in vain.
