#2 Clinching a thriller at Sydney

India toured Australia at the beginning of 2016 where they played five ODIs and three T20Is against the hosts. The ODI series went in the hosts' favor with four wins and the Indian team were keen to make a comeback in the shortest format.
India won the first two encounters at Adelaide and Melbourne to seal the T20I series. But, a win in the 3rd T20I would mean whitewashing the Aussies in their own backyard. The hosts batted first and posted a mammoth 197 thanks to Shane Watson’s century.
The Indians started well but found themselves in trouble when Rohit Sharma and Kohli departed in a space of two overs. Yuvraj and Raina were at the crease with the target still far ahead. With 17 needed off 6 balls, Yuvraj hit 10 runs off the first two balls before Raina came back on strike.
It was up to Raina now, to finish the game and he finished it in style scoring a boundary off the last ball. Yuvraj celebrated the triumph by carrying his teammate on his back after the latter hit the winning runs.
