The Turning Point – Gold Coast Glory
The fourth T20I at Carrara Oval, Gold Coast, was the decider India needed. Batting first, India posted a competitive total thanks to Abhishek Sharma’s 52 off 28 balls and a late flourish from *Rinku Singh (38)**.
In reply, Australia crumbled against India’s spin duo of Axar Patel (3/19) and Washington Sundar (2/22). The hosts were bowled out for just 138, giving India a 48-run victory and a well-deserved series win.
What This Win Means for India
This victory marks another milestone for India’s T20 journey:
- Winning in Australian conditions proves India’s depth and adaptability.
