The fifth and final T20 International between India and Australia ended without a result after persistent rain forced the match to be called off at The Gabba. With the no-result, India clinched the five-match series 2-1.
The game saw an extended delay of over two hours due to lightning and continuous rain, before officials finally decided to abandon play. Despite the interruption, Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill provided a fiery start before the weather intervened.
Only 4.5 Overs of Play Possible
Before rain halted proceedings, India reached 50 without loss in 4.5 overs, showcasing an explosive start. Gill was in sublime touch, striking four boundaries in a single over, while Abhishek Sharma capitalised on two dropped catches by Australia.
Abhishek also achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the fastest batter in T20 International history to reach 1,000 runs in terms of balls faced, marking another record-breaking feat in his young career.
Fifth Consecutive T20 Series Win for India
This victory marks India’s fifth straight bilateral T20I series win under captain Suryakumar Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir. The Men in Blue had previously triumphed over New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland, and South Africa similarly.
Although the rain denied fans a full contest, India’s consistent dominance throughout the series reaffirmed their strength as one of the most formidable teams in world T20 cricket.
