The mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy dismissed Glenn Maxwell for the sixth time in T20 cricket, reinforcing his reputation as one of Maxwell’s toughest opponents.
Maxwell returned to the playing XI after recovering from an injury and came in to bat at number seven with 70 runs needed from 41 balls. Tight bowling from Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Washington Sundar forced Maxwell to attempt a risky slog, resulting in him missing the ball, which then clipped the stumps.
India set Australia a target of 168 runs. Despite a strong start, Australia lost several wickets in quick succession and ultimately were defeated by 48 runs. This victory gave India a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
The two teams are scheduled to play next at the Gabba on November 8, Saturday.
"He missed the ball completely, and it just kissed the wickets."
Summary: Varun Chakaravarthy continues to dominate Glenn Maxwell in T20 cricket, contributing crucially to India’s lead over Australia in the ongoing series.
