‘Maza agaya’ – Fans Go Berserk As India Defeat Australia By Six Wickets In The Second T20I In Nagpur

India kicked off the three-match T20I series against Australia with a loss in Mohali on 20 September 2022. So, the stage was set for the second match of the series in Nagpur. India were looking to equalize the series. While Australia were looking to seal the deal with one more match to go. Speaking of the match, it got delayed due to a wet outfield. 

After many inspections, finally, the umpires gave the green signal for starting the match. However, the match got reduced to eight overs per side. Rohit Sharma won the toss and he asked the Aussies to bat first. Meanwhile, India made two changes from their last playing XI. They dropped Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav. In place of them, they showed faith in Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah.
