Nineteen-year-old medium-pacer Titas Sadhu gave India the much-needed boost with career-best figures against world champions Australia at the DY Patil Stadium on Friday night.
Sadhu’s 4-17 including a dream opening spell of 3-0-8-3, gave India the fillip after being trounced 3-0 in the ODIs the past week. Sadhu’s brilliance complemented by off-spinners Shreyanka Patil (2-19) and Deepti Sharma (2-24) helped India bowl out Australia for 141. This was the first time Australia were bundled out in a T20I after 41 innings; the previous instance being a 2020 T20 World Cup game by India.
