Australia vs India, 3rd T20I: Player Ratings

India

Dhawan set the stage on fire yet again

Rohit Sharma - 5/10

Rohit Sharma provided the much required big opening partnership that India needed in chasing but again was exposed as his weakness to leg spin saw him being bowled by Zampa. He also gave Finch a reprieve in the field.

Shikhar Dhawan -8/10

Shikhar Dhawan continued his dominance with the bat and scored a brisk 41 off 22 balls and was chosen as the Player of the series.

Virat Kohli -9/10

India’s skipper was back among the runs as he brought up his 19th T20I half-century with a great display of batting and ensured that he got his side over the line.

KL Rahul -2/10

Sloppy in the field and failing to cement his place in the eleven in T20Is with another poor display with the bat, Rahul is not helping his case for an extended run in the T20 format.

Rishabh Pant-1/10

Another golden duck in the match as Rishabh Pant had a soft dismissal and provided Australia with an opportunity to come back into the game.

Dinesh Karthik -8/10

Dinesh Karthik hasn’t done much wrong in the three-match T20I series other than probably giving Krunal Pandya the strike in the first match. He was one-half of a solid partnership along with Virat Kohli and played some brilliant knocks to finish the match.

Krunal Pandya -8/10

The best match for Krunal Pandya as he ended up having the best figures for a spinner in T20I in Australia after receiving a hammering in the first match, which saw him end up with the worst bowling figures.

Kuldeep Yadav -8/10

Kuldeep continued to be his usual best providing crucial wickets for India, dismissing Finch here. He continued to keep things tight too.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar -5/10

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar had an off day with the ball and struggled to make an impact on a pitch, which was on the slower side.

Khaleel Ahmed -3/10

Khaleel has been given the extended run despite leaking runs. He leaked fewer runs than in the previous two matches but failed to pick up a wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah -4/10

Similar to Bhuvaneshwar, Bumrah too had an off day and failed to come up with the magical balls he usually does. But he did effect a crucial run-out to get rid of Chris Lynn
