Stylish KL Rahul flicks Pat Cummins for a gigantic six

KL Rahul scored a brisk half-century at the top while India’s in-form T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav made a fifty as well as they posted 186 for 7 against hosts Australia at the Gabba. Kane Richardson returned a four-fer as he ran through the middle-order, even as Dinesh Karthik’s 14-ball 20 gave India a boost. Mohammed Shami then came up with a sequence of four wickets – including one run out, and two searing yorkers that left Australia six short of the target.
