India, 22 November 2025 — India secured a series victory against Australia in the ongoing T20 series, winning the second match by six wickets at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday. The Indian team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, chased down Australia's target of 178 runs with two balls to spare.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was the standout performer for India, scoring a crucial 83 off 52 balls. His partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, who contributed 42 runs, laid a solid foundation for the chase. Earlier, Australia's innings was powered by David Warner's 65-run knock, but they fell short of setting a more daunting target due to disciplined Indian bowling.
The series, which consists of three matches, saw India taking an unassailable 2-0 lead. The final match is scheduled to be played in Chennai. This series win is significant for India as it boosts the team's confidence ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup next year.
Rohit Sharma praised the team's all-round performance, highlighting the bowlers' ability to restrict runs in the death overs and the batsmen's composure under pressure. "It's always special to win against a team like Australia," Sharma stated during the post-match presentation.
This victory not only enhances India's T20 rankings but also serves as a morale booster as they prepare for upcoming international tournaments.
