The conclusion of the match became a bit tense towards the end, but Rinku Singh remained composed and steered India to victory. It’s also worth reflecting on Mukesh Kumar’s superb final over in the first innings, particularly considering how closely contested it became in the end.
India’s victory will undoubtedly uplift the young Indian team. While it may not completely heal the wounds from the World Cup, Indian fans can revel in reclaiming a win against the Australians just three days after the heartbreak in Ahmedabad.
