"But there was just enough time for a 24-ball cameo from Suryakumar Yadav that suggested the India captain is ready to rediscover his best form on an international stage. Mitch Marsh won the toss and elected to field before the tourists set out to make a fast start with India opener Abhishek Sharma (19 off 14) taking the attack to the Australia bowlers from the first ball."
"Players were forced from the field for the first time after Australia had restricted India to 43 for 1 from five overs. But Suryakumar (39 not out) and opener Shubman Gill (37 not out off 20) caught fire when play resumed. The India pair put on another 54 runs from 4.4 overs including 15 from the four balls in what would be the last stretch of play before the heavens opened up once again."
Australia and India saw the opening T20I in Canberra abandoned after 9.4 overs due to persistent rain, leaving fans disappointed. Mitch Marsh won the toss and elected to field, and India began aggressively with Abhishek Sharma scoring 19 off 14 before being dismissed by Nathan Ellis. Suryakumar Yadav made a 24-ball 39 not out while Shubman Gill scored 37 off 20, the pair adding 54 runs in 4.4 overs. Play was halted multiple times and the match was eventually called off with India 97 for 1 in command. Jasprit Bumrah missed the washout but is expected to play the second T20I in Melbourne.
