India vs Australia 3rd T20I Highlights: IND beat AUS by 6 wickets in thriller to remember, win series 2-1

Some banter as they lift the trophy. It is normally the new guy who does that but here, it seems the players have pushed the veteran Dinesh Karthik to do the honours. This has been some series and there have some truly impressive performances from the Indians, particularly their batters. As Rohit Sharma said, they would now be hoping that their bowlers come into the party in the death overs of the series against South Africa and the T20 World Cup later in the year. For now it's all champagne and celebrations and a goodbye from us!

It's a special place. We have had great memories playing for India and when I played for Deccan Chargers as well. Biggest positive was diffierent individuals stepping up and delivering. You feel good about it as a management. Margin of error in T20s is small. We took our chances, we were brave as well. Sometime it doesn't come off. There are areas to improve as well. Not easy coming back after a break against a tough team. They (Bumrah and Harshal) will take some time. Hopefully they can get back into their groove in the next series.

“When you do well, and the team wins you feel nice. The things I do in the IPL, bowling in the powerplay and when you execute it well, feels nice. The line and lengths, I bowl, I back myself. Even if the batter hits a good shot, I back myself. I try and execute my plans.”

“(His dismissal) In that situation, it was much needed. I thought let's take my chance. There were two-three shots in my mind, was trying to hit over mid-off. Thoughts have always been the same, have always wanted to express myself. That's how I practice in the nets. Just loving at No.4. A lot of challenges and responsibilities as well (for the T20 WC). You can't shy away from expressing yourself. Have to be smart.”

Murali Karthik conducting the presentation, he reads out the names of the dignitaries who are present. One of them is Mohammed Azharuddin, the president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association, and a mixture of boos and cheers ring out in the stadium. 

I have to utilise my experience and give the team what they want. I had to take down Zampa because he is important through the middle. When Surya started hitting them, I looked at Rohit and Rahul bhai in the dug out and they just told me to bat on because we were building a partnership. As soon as he went away, I tried to take on the first couple of balls, got a six off Cummins and that set me off again. 

(About Suryakumar Yadav) It is absolute clarity in what he wants to do. He has the game to bat in any conditions. He got a hundred in England, batted beautifully in Asia Cup, the last six months he has been outstanding. He has an array of shots and knows when to play those shots at the right time. He is a guy who knows his game inside out and has no fear whatsoever in trying to execute those shots. 

(Taking on Zampa) He is a quality bowler and I decided to take him on today. I try to control my scoring rate whenever we play. I knew he is going to attack the stumps and so I stood outside the leg stump. Last time I was kind of disappointed that after hitting him for a four I went for two instead of trying a six. You spoke about the last over, I was not able to connect a few before that. The game shouldn't have gone on that long, we should have had around 5 to chase in the last over and not 11. I have enjoyed batting ever since I came back. Today also I was an hour and half before the team. I am excited and happy with my contributions. Just trying to place in safe space

It is Pandya who hits the winning runs, beats short third man to squeeze this wide delivery from Sams for a four. What a match we have had here, what a way to end an absolutely thrilling series. 

Did we say he may have ended the match with that? Apologies for that, this match just keeps on getting interesting. Kohli smashes the very next ball straight into the hands of Finch at extra cover. Hushed silence in the stadium for a second and then, as was the case with SKY, applause from around the ground. That is followed by chants of “DK! DK!” as Karthik makes his way into the middle.  

Kohli c Finch b Sams 63 (48), India 182/4, need 5 to win off 4

Oh, how about that! Kohli goes all the way off the first ball of the last over and he may well have ended the match with that. India need 5 off 5. 

Daniel Sams bowling the last over, Kohli is on strike, he has scored 57 off 56. Pandya at the other end with 21 off 14. Here we go!

Two dot balls in the 19th, the pressure is on Kohli and he goes for the cover drive. Maxwell puts in a brilliant dive at deep cover to save what looked like a certain boundary. The batters run two. 

Low full toss, Pandya shovels that out, David running to his right from long on and maybe gets his finger tips to it but it goes all the way. 

Just one boundary in that over, from Pandya's bat, and yet the two batters have ran at the drop of a hat and that get them double digits from it. India need 21 to win from 12 balls. 

Some big field changes and discussions after almost every ball. It seems Australia areon target as far as over rate is concerned and so they have no pressure in that regard. Four balls have been bowled, eight runs have been scored in this over. 

No boundaries in the last two overs and Pandya ends the drought. Cummins sends it wide and quick, Pandya reaches out for it and gets an inside edge to it. The ball races to the boundary from that and India will take that, they need 27 to win off 16. 

It's game on now, this match is going to have a sensational finish, as you would expect every time these two sides meet. India are 148/3 in 16 overs, need 39 to win off 24. Green gave away just five runs in the 16th over. That and the wicket of SKY has given Australia something to work with here. 

He is up and running now, looking a completely different player to the one who seemed to be doubting himself all the time in the IPL last year. Kohli has got there in 37 balls and he will be looking to remain unbeaten here, as was the case the last time he played a T20I in Hyderabad.  

Oh what a beauty. He holds the pose for the cameras as well. Length delivery poutside off from Cummins, Kohli lofts it perfectly over cover and that flies past the boundary line. 

A great innings comes to an end. SKY holes out at long on, hushed silence around the stadium for a second before they all break out into applause. Kohli runs up to Suryakumar to give him a pat on the back as he walks off. What a show he has put up here. He hit five fours and as many sixes and his partnership for the fourth wicket with Kohli has brought on 104 off just 62 balls. Kohli dominated the first 50 runs in that stand, SKY for the rest. 

Suryakumar Yadav c Finch b Green 69 (36), India 134/3 in 14 overs 

Fielders? What are they? Send them away for some drinks and down time, they are useless against Suryakumar. He gets across to a knuckle ball on middle and flicks that over deep square leg. 100-run partnership between these two has come up in just 59 balls. 

Hazlewood tries to cramp him for room, who cares, Suryakumar moves early, cramps him for room and slaps it over mid-on. 

Oh he has done that again! Zampa tosses it up outside off, Suryakumar just nonchalantly lofts him over covers. 

Zampa sends a full toss on SKY's legs, he bounces down the track and sends it flying over long-on. That is half century for Suryakumar and he gets there in 27 balls.

Green bangs it in short, Kohli tries to pull but top edges it. The ball falls in the square leg region where there are no fielders and Kohli survives. One run off the next ball and India are 107/2 in 12 overs. Brilliant over from Green. 

There is Suryakumar Yadav, it seems Kohli has told him to take it on now. Cummins bangs it in short, Yadav somehow pulls that over midwicket. SKY is now on 42 off 22.
