Canberra, Dec 4 (TIWN) India's concussion substitute Yuzvendra Chahal, who came in for Ravindra Jadeja during Australia's innings, picked three for 25 in his four overs to help India beat Australia by 11 runs in the first T20 International at the Manuka Oval on Friday.
This was India's sixth win over Australia in 10 T20Is on Australian soil. The win helped India take 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. India had earlier lost the ODI series 1-2. Chahal (3/25), who took the field as Jadeja could not play as a bowler in Australia's innings after taking a hit on his head off Mitchell Starc's short ball during his unbeaten knock of 23-ball 44, took the important wickets of skipper Aaron Finch, Steve Smith and Matthew Wade to dent the Aussie chase of 162.
