Suryakumar Yadav is Player of the Match
Suryakumar Yadav | India captain and Player of the Match: Very happy with the way the boys played. Was very happy with their energy, we were put under pressure but the way everyone showed up was amazing. It’s a proud moment, very proud moment, everytime you play, you think about representing India but coming out here and captaining India is a big moment. Thought there will be a little bit of dew but there wasn’t. It isn’t a big ground and I knew batting will get easy. Thought they might get 230-235 but the bowlers did really well. Just enjoy and express yourself. We’ve been in such situations many times in franchise cricket, just told Ishan to enjoy himself. We knew what was going to happen. I left the luggage of captaincy in the dressing room. I try to enjoy my batting. The atmosphere was amazing, thanks to the crowd. Was great to see how the boys kept their nerves. Was great to see Rinku, the situation was tailor-made for him. He was calm and collected, calmed me down a little bit. Incredible achievement from the bowlers to restrict them to this total after the 16th over.
Matthew Wade reacts on AUS's loss
Matthew Wade | Australia captain: It was a good match in the end. Inglis got us a score we thought we could defend but the Indians came hard at us. These young Indians play a lot of IPL and T20 cricket. Thought we bowled pretty well, just couldn’t nail our yorkers, easier said than done especially on a small ground like this. Lot of positives to take out from this game. Inglis was class. We thought we did fairly well, Ellis bowled a big over for us to take it into the final over, it went down to the last ball so it shows how close it was.
Maximum!
Rinku Singh finishes things off in style whacks Sean Abbott down the ground for a six. India finish on 214/8 after 20 overs and win the match by two wickets. However, there's more drama the last ball was apparently a no ball which means the six won't be counted. India finish on 209/8 after 19.5 overs. Rinku Singh 22* (14) helps India go 1-0 up.

India are all set to lock horns against Australia in a five-match T20I series at home, marking their first series since a disappointing ODI World Cup campaign. The opening match is scheduled for November 23 at the Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Other venues for the series include Trivandrum, Guwahati, Raipur, and Bengaluru.
Both teams have opted to rest some of their key players, providing opportunities for new faces. Senior players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami will be absent from the series. Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team, while Hardik Pandya is recovering from an ankle injury sustained during the World Cup. Suryakumar is the lone player in the squad who played in the World Cup final on November 19 against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where they fell short by six wickets.
For the first three matches, Ruturaj Gaikwad will serve as team India's vice-captain, with Shreyas Iyer taking over for the last two T20Is. The young Indian lineup also includes the likes of Ishan Kishan, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, and Arshdeep Singh.
Australia, who are coming off a hectic World Cup campaign, have rested senior players like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Cameron Green, and David Warner. Wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Wade will lead the side. Interestingly, Steven Smith and Travis Head, who have taken part in the World Cup have been named in the 15-man squad.
The last encounter between the two teams in the shortest format of the game was in September 2022, with India winning the series 2-1 at home. India's last T20 series at home was against New Zealand in February, which they won 2-1. Meanwhile, Australia recently played a T20 series in South Africa, emerging victorious in all three matches.
