Raipur . After beating Australia by 20 runs in the fourth T20I to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, India’s stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav is praising how his team went about the match regardless. Showed the performance.

Jitesh Sharma and Rinku Singh provided enough finishing touches for India, who were restricted to 174/9 by some spot-on bowling from Australia. In defence, Ravi Bishnoi and Axar Patel bounced back with total figures of 4/33 in eight overs to restrict Australia to 154/7.

“Except the toss, everything went our way (laughs). It was very encouraging to win, especially the way the boys showed character. Everyone expressed themselves regardless of the situation and that’s what I told them: be fearless, play your game and we’ll see what happens.”

“The plan was very clear, to bowl yorkers on the stumps and we will take it from there,” Suryakumar said after the end of the game at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. If it doesn’t work, we’ll see what happens,” he said.

Bishnoi, who leads the wicket charts for the series, credited Suryakumar and bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule for giving him enough support to succeed with the ball. “When Sky gave me the ball I was ready to bowl. I am very happy with my bowling throughout the series.”

“The atmosphere in this dressing room is very good, we are all of the same age and we have played a lot together. Sairaj Bahutule (bowling coach) supports our strengths and gives us 100% support, he says feel free to try new things only if you are sure about them.

Australia captain Matthew Wade was also praising the bowling performance of Bishnoi and Axar. “Their spinners bowled really well. They kept us down and we couldn’t really get going in that middle period. We didn’t play the spin very well in the middle and lost a lot of wickets which led to Tim David’s There’s a lot left to pass.”

“So that was probably the biggest difference in the game. Obviously, Bishnoi has done brilliantly in all four matches. It has been very difficult to get a hold of him. Some of our players with less experience will learn a lot from facing him. Patel is a class player, he has been a class bowler for a very long time.”

“The bowlers coming in did a great job, Dwarshuis did a great job, they really stood out. We want to continue to learn about the players under the established players as the World Cup approaches, so depth around the team is important. Will happen.”
