IND vs AUS, 2nd T20, VCA Stadium: Rohit Sharma outclassed Aussie bowling attack to anchor Indian chase with Dinesh Karthik hitting a six & a four off last two balls to lead India to a memorable win.

Ind vs Aus 2nd T20I: A captain's knock from Rohit Sharma (46 runs off 20 balls) and match-winning performances from Dinesh Karthik and Axar Patel powered team India to a stunning series-levelling six-wicket win in India vs Australia 'rain-hit' 2nd T20 International at Nagpur on Friday.

After a two-hour delay due to a wet outfield, the match between India and Australia finally started. The match was reduced to 8 overs per side. Chasing 91 for the win in 8 overs, India were off to a great start but wickets kept falling from one end.

For the first time in five years, India defeated Australia in a T20 match at home. Finally, the Men in Blue are back to winning ways after consecutive defeats in international cricket. 

Earlier, India won the toss and invited Australia to bat first. Matthew Wade's 20-ball 43 run fiery knock helped Australia score 90/5 in the rain-hit India vs Australia second T20I against India.
