IND Vs AUS, 5th T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Mukesh Kumar Star As India Beat Australia By Six Runs Series Finale - In Pics

Shreyas Iyer's comeback and a prolific bowling by pacer duo of Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar was enough for India to pip Australia by six runs in a thrilling encounter to record a comprehensive 4-1 series win. Iyer's 53 off 37 balls was the force behind India's 160 for 8 on a sticky pitch at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Ben McDermott's half-century (54, 36b, 5x6) nearly trumped Iyer's effort, but the Aussies crumbled in the final lap to end up with 154 for eight. Needing only 10 off last over, Arshdeep held his nerve and gave away only three runs, repeatedly hitting the ideal block-hole length with consummate ease. India's next assignment is against the Proteas with the first T20I starting on December 10.
