Glenn Maxwell almost single-handedly led an extraordinary run chase from Australia as they beat India by five wickets. A century from Ruturaj Gaikwad helped India put up a score of 222/3.
He hit the joint-fastest T20I ton by an Australian, off 47 balls, to help his side chase down 223 runs in what was another run-fest in this series. This is now the highest score any team has successfully chased against India in T20I International cricket. Australia stays alive in the series and this is just the kind of inspired performance that could help the visitors turn a 1-2 deficit around. It is a pity though that Australia will miss six World Cup winners, including Maxwell, in the next two matches. They are returning home and their reinforcements have already arrived in India. Join us for the fourth T20I in Raipur on December 1.
