Harsha Bhogle acknowledges the efforts of Groundstaffs and the crowd.
Aaron Finch (Australia Captain, Lossing skipper): "We're probably planning for 5 over games before the start. Rohit was brilliant with the batting, and Axar was good in the bowling. Yeah, I feel my batting has fine. All well. Yeah, Wade was batting well, and he is finding his groove well. Zampa was good as well, taking wickets when the need was there."

Player of the Match: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma (India Captain, Winning skipper/ Player of the Match): "I was quite surprised actually. Didn't expect to hit that way. I am glad that it came well. Honestly, for the last 8-9 months, I am playing like that, nothing much different. The dew started to come in later and therefore you got to see the odd full tosses from Harshal and other guys They were finding it difficult to grip the ball. But we also want the guys to be confident and they will improve.
Yeah obviously, coming from a back injury can be a bit tricky[on Jasprit Bumrah]. We just wanted him to come and play freely, didn't put the pressure of wickets. But the way he was bowling was amazing. As a team, we are not gonna analyze a lot of his bowling but come and play freely.
Yeah, Axar has been fit in the lineup quite well in place of Jadeja. He has been playing brilliantly since the last few years and what he did in the last games is what Axar Patel is known for. It's been a while he has been in the middle, it's always fine to get him in. I was wondering if to send Rishabh Pant over DK or not. But I thought no let's give DK a go and he should come and take on Daniel Sams. Though he takes a little time in the middle but he did the job brilliantly for us.
No, it's fantastic, a lot of credit to the groundsman honestly. I think they were here since the early evening period and working for so long so that we could have a game was tremendous."

India overtakes Pakistan to win more matches against Australia in T20Is! India now have 14 wins against the Men in Yellow.
So, after a long wait, we had some cricket, and it turned out to be a cracker of a contest. India have levelled up with Australia in this three-match series. Now the caravan will move onto Hyderabad for the enthralling decider.
