India’s chase began on a shaky note as they lost their opener, Rohit Sharma, early in the innings. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan steadied the ship with a 100-run partnership for the second wicket. Yadav, in particular, was in sublime form as he smashed 80 runs off just 42 balls.
After Kishan’s dismissal, Rinku Singh joined Yadav in the middle and the duo continued to pile on the runs. Singh played a crucial cameo of 22 runs off 14 balls, which included two sixes. Yadav’s wicket fell in the 17th over, but Singh held his nerve and finished the game off in style with a boundary off the last ball of the match.
