The third T20 International (T20I) between Australia and India is currently taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Just like the second fixture, Virat Kohli🌠 won the toss and chose to field first in the final T20I.
In the game, India yet again showcased some sloppy efforts in the outfield♌. The visitors dropped catches and did some misfileཧd as well.
While Deepak Chahar and Yuzvendra Chahal looked below average, Sanju Samson🗹 produced a magnificent e💜ffort which grabbed maximum eyeballs.
It all happened in the 14th over of the first innings bowled by Shardul Thakur. The right-armer delivered a length ball, and Glenn Maxwell launched it into the night sky.
For a moment, it looked 🐬like the white leather would easily sail over the boundary but Samson threw himself over the ropes, took the catch and then pulled it back to save four runs for⭕ his team.
Here is the video:

Just how good an athlete is Sanju Samson! 👌

Wade, Maxwell guide Australia to 186/5
When it comes to the Australian innings, they had a poor good start as spinner Washington Sundar removed Aussie skipper Aaron Finch for a duck.
Sundar did not just stop there as he broke the 65-run partnership between Matthew Wade and Steve Smith for the second wicket, by sending Smith 🎉back to the dugout in the 10th over.
Wade now formed a crucial stand with Maxwell. The duo stitched 90 runs for the third wicket aꦫnd completely dominated Indian bowling attack.
The Australian wicket-keeper scored his second successive half-century 💝in the series, while Maxwell continued his destructive m🐻ode.
Wade smasꦫhed 80 off 53 balls with the help of nine boundaries including two sixes. Maxwell, on the other hand, slammed a quickfire 36-ball 54 to take the Aussies to 186/5 in their allotted 20 overs.
