“Hero Of The Night” – Twitter reacts as Arshdeep Singh’s brilliant finish helps India win fifth T20I of thriller


The fifth and final T20I of the five-match series between Suryakumar Yadav led Indian National Cricket Team and the Australian national cricket team led by Matthew Wade took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, December 3.

The match between the teams was a draw as India headed into the game with an unassailable 3-1 lead. The Men in Blue won the first two matches by 2 wickets and 44 runs, before losing the third T20I by 5 wickets. They came back strong in the next game and won it by 20 runs to clinch the series.

Meanwhile, Australia won the match toss and opted to bowl first. They made one change to their XI when Nathan Ellis replaced Chris Green. India also made the only change as Deepak Chahar, who returned home due to a medical emergency, was replaced by Arshdeep Singh.

Opening batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad tried to give India a good start but could only add 33 runs together. After the dismissal of the first matches, India lost quick wickets and were reduced to 4-55.

Despite the loss of early wickets, Jitesh Sharma played with an attacking mindset and added a brilliant partnership of 42 runs in 24 balls with Shreyas Iyer.

After that, Axar Patel played a fantastic knock of 31 runs off 21 balls to provide stability to the Indian batting unit. However, the team’s best player was Shreyas Iyer, who scored 53 runs off 37 balls, with 5 fours and 2 sixes. In the end, India scored a good total of 160/8 on the board.

Chasing the target, Travis Head, who has troubled India a lot, once again looked menacing with the bat. However, before he could do much damage, young Ravi Bishnoi fired him.

Following Head’s dismissal, Ben McDermott took over the mantle and displayed a batting masterclass. He scored 54 brilliant runs and formed crucial partnerships with Tim David and Matthew Short.

In the end Australia came very close to winning as they only needed 10 runs off 6 balls in the last over and Matthew Wade was on strike. Arshdeep Singh, who gave away 37 runs in his first three overs, bowled the last over and showed great character.

Arshdeep Singh bowled two dot balls to Wade before dismissing the batsman off the third ball for 22 runs. In the next three balls, he gave away just 3 runs and helped India win a thrilling match by 6 runs to end the series with a dominant 4-1 victory.

Here’s how X fans reacted after Arshdeep Singh led India to victory in a thriller:
