India secured a thrilling victory in a high-scoring 2nd T20I against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground to clinch an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series. India were clinical on the day and ensured that they were never out of the contest even when the Australian batters looked unshakable or when the required rate kept climbing in the second innings.

The win came courtesy of some brilliant performances by various players. T Natarajan kept it tight with the ball and returned figures of 2-20. KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan provided good starts in the 2nd innings. Virat Kohli looked sublime in his stay. But it was Hardik Pandya who was the hero on the day as his unbeaten knock of 42 off 22 balls ensured India got over the line in what proved to be a tight finish.

Sachin Tendulkar congratulates Team India

Following India’s win over Australia in the 2nd T20I, cricketing icon Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to congratulate the team on their series win. The 47-year-old tweeted saying, “Congratulations to #TeamIndia on winning the T20I series. Defending 161 in the 1st game and chasing 195 in the 2nd showed what a comprehensive performance this has been. Well done!”

India have now notched up their 9th consecutive win in T20Is and the Men in Blue will want that streak to continue with a win in the 3rd T20I which will be played on the 8th of December.
