[WATCH] Tim David’s fabulous catch dismisses Suryakumar Yadav during AUS vs IND 4th T20I
Watch the video where a great catch by Tim David at the boundary open sent back the Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav, for 20 runs during the 4th T20I between Australia and India in Gold Coast.
For India to stay in contention of winning the five-match T20I series against Australia, they needed to earn success in the third game of the series at the Canarra Oval in Gold Coast with the series staying on a leveled 1-1 mark. The Blue Brigade, however, came into the clash with full confidence from their last win in Hobart.
It was a decent opening partnership of 56 runs between Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. But in a baffling decision, the management decided to send Shivam Dube at number three, who, despite his one monster six and boundary, could get only 22 runs in 18 balls before falling to Adam Zampa.
Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian captain, who addressed the surface as the subcontinental, got dismissed for 20 runs in 10 balls. On the first ball of the 16th over, the right-handed batter looked to swing his willow hard and got a lot of height but not so much distance. Tim David held his nerve at the fence and grabbed a comfortable catch to send the veteran back in the shades.

Suryakumar Yadav smashed Adam Zampa for two successive sixes in the 13th over. On the third ball, he found the gap in the deep region as the sweep shot gave him six runs. On the following delivery, he got a great crack in the middle of the bat as Sky reached out to it and nailed the slog sweep for a fine six.
Apart from him, opener Shubman Gill smashed a decent knock of 46 runs in 39 balls with the help of three boundaries and a six. His partner in the opening position cracked 28 runs. But India’s middle order struggled so much as Nathan Ellis ended with 3/21 in four overs.
Axar Patel started the final over against Marcus Stoinis with a six and a boundary to shoulder the side over the 160-run mark. That would give India some chance to defend against the home batters.
