India national cricket team’s 32-year-old all-rounder Shivam Dubey’s historic match-winning streak officially ended on Friday, October 31 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.
After the defeat of the Indian national cricket team against the Australian national cricket team, not only Shivam Dubey but also Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav had to suffer as their unique streaks also ended.
Australia has taken a 1-0 lead in the T20 series.
After a defeat in the first T20I in Canberra, India and Australia head to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for a fierce battle in front of a packed crowd.
Josh Hazlewood shone in the first innings of the match and dismantled the Indian batting unit, while Abhishek Sharma was the lone warrior for the visitors, scoring a brilliant half-century to take India to 126/6.
While defending the target, the Indian bowlers tried their best and took over the match as much as possible. Even fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took magical wickets towards the end of the innings, but Australia completed the run-chase with 40 balls to spare and won the game by 4 wickets.
Australia has taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20 series with three matches remaining. The next match between the Indian team and the Australian team will be held on Sunday, November 2 at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
