IND vs AUS 4th T20I Results

5:30 PM IST Right then, that is it from this game and we will not get a decider. But, we do have one more game left in this series and it is an important one as there aren't that many T20Is before the T20 World Cup in about six months. It is also a great platform for players of both sides to put their best foot forward and make a case for the future. The fifth and final T20I will be played on Sunday, the 3rd of December at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and will begin at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). Our build-up though will begin a lot sooner, so, do join us then. Cheers!

5:25 PM IST Axar Patel is the Player of the Match for his sensational spell of bowling. Axar says that he tried a bit of flight and turn when he was home. He knew that the ball was coming off well from the hand and says that it does create a bit of doubt when you lose a match despite the effort. Axar states that dew played a part in the series and it was important to bowl stump to stump. He intends that it is important to be brave and execute the plans irrespective of any fear of being whacked by the batters [especially against left-handers]. Axar highlights that it is important to innovate. People do watch videos and try to learn from players. So, he wished to try the slower ones in a match and see how things unwind. Doing in practice is a different aspect but when one can execute the plans practically in a high-profile contest, it boosts the confidence

5:25 PM IST Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of India starts by chuckling that other than the toss, everything went well and on a serious note, says that boys showed character which is more important. Adds that they spoke in the meeting before the game to go out and express themselves. Says that he always loves to put Axar Patel under pressure and give him the final over but on a serious note, it was great to see him perform the way he did in the middle phase. Mentions that no matter what the opposition requires in the final five overs, the plan was to bowl yorkers and is very happy with the performance.

5:23 PM IST The Australian captain, Matthew Wade says they did not play spin very well. Adds they lost too many wickets in the middle and that left Tim David with a lot to do on his own. Mentions that maybe they could've done better against spin. He adds that they failed to do what was needed. Says that Ben Dwarshuis was quite good with the ball as well as Jason Behrendroff. Adds that established guys like  Ben McDermott and Josh Phillipe will be getting another chance in the next game. He highlights the T20 World Cup in the timeline and it would be a great opportunity to strengthen the team.

5:14 PM IST The Presentation ceremony...
