India vs Australia 4th T20I Highlights: IND beat AUS by 20 runs, seal series win

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: This series has a bit of a peculiar, low-key feel to it considering it is happening so close to the end of the World Cup. But there is no dearth of drama behind the scenes as far as Indian cricket is concerned. Among the biggest aspects of it is Virat Kohli telling the BCCI that he won't be playing in the white-ball leg of India's upcoming tour of South Africa. In fact, reports state that he has told the board of taking an indefinite break from white-ball international cricket altogether. He is 35 as well and so this begs the question, have we seen the last of Virat Kohli in coloured clothing for India?

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: If a bowler concedes 30 runs in an over, that normally would mean a bad day for them regardless of what they do in the rest of the match. But Glenn Maxwell ended up getting a player of the match award in the third T20I. And that is because he then powered the turbo-charged Australian chase of he ended up smashing an unbeaten 104 in 48 balls. He went 6, 4, 4, 4 off the last four balls of the match. He was returning to Australia after that match and he said goodbye India in the most extraordinary fashion.

Just once has an international match been hosted here though and that was in January this year. That was an ODI between New Zealand and India.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: Set to be part of the squad from the fourth T20I, Shreyas Iyer's return to the already impressive batting line up comes as a big positive. And yet, at the same time, might throw a spanner in the team combinations. The current middle order featuring Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Riku Singh and Axar Patel is doing a good job, and Iyer's return promises to disturb the combination. With Iyer poised to reclaim his spot in the XI, Tilak might unfortunately find himself on the sidelines. However, it's worth noting that if he can replicate the stellar form he displayed at the World Cup, effortlessly launching sixes, it might pose a pleasant selection dilemma for India.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: He has played 11 matches for India this far but Mukesh Kumar's absence was felt deeply by India in the last T20I. Still in his early days, Mukesh appeared to be two steps ahead of the opposition's batters, as figures of 0/29 and 1/43 proved in the first two T20Is, but without him, it was almost as if the Indian bowling crumbled. The pace trio of Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan were rendered ineffective by the Australians, while spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Axar Patel were carted to all parts of the ground. Out due to his wedding, Mukesh's return promises to bolster this still-very-young Indian pace attack.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: In case you haven't been up to date, Glenn Maxwell will not be playing today's T20I against India on the account of being released by the squad. He, along with five more players, has been let go as they were on the road non-stop. They landed in India 12 days before the World Cup, played the biggest tournament for two months, won the Cup and even took part in the first three T20Is. Hence, the likes of Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Steve Smith have been granted a much-needed break, paving the way for youngsters Josh Phillippe, Ben McDermott, Ben Dwarshuis and Chris Green to make some heads turn.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: The first three matches of the ongoing series between IND and AUS have already been so memorable.

And tonight promises to be no different. With both teams fielding a bunch of energetic and promising youngsters, tonight's contest is a sneak-peek of what India and Australia's team combinations could look like in the future – as quickly as the T20 World Cup next year. Over 120 fours have been hit and over 60 sixes smashed. As Ravi Shastri says, runs have been flowing thick and fast and if the conditions are expected to stay true, it will continue to rain runs tonight.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS T20 Series: And we're back! Two days after Glenn Maxwell played another innings of his life, India are up and ready to brush aside the disappointment of Guwahati and wrap up the series here in Raipur. In order to stay alive though, Australia are wearing a new look with as many as six players back home. Like India, there is no shortage of youngsters in the Australian camp and tonight's contest will give a fair indication that which of the two teams is more prepared to handle pressure. In a tournament, where big totals have become a norm, who among India or Australia, will land the latest blow. Will India take the series, or Australia live to fight another day? Stay tuned. Another run-fest awaits.
