The third match of the five-match T20I series (IND vs AUS) between India and Australia was played in Guwahati on Tuesday. There was a lot of rain in this match and Australia kept the series alive by achieving a thrilling victory on the last ball. Indian bowlers failed in front of Australian batsmen, especially Glenn Maxwell targeted everyone. During this, Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna was badly beaten and he became the bowler who gave away the most runs in a T20I match for India.

Prasidh Krishna bowled the second, eighth, 18th and last over of Australia's innings. During this, he gave away 16 runs in the first over, 23 runs in the second over, 6 runs in the third over and 23 runs in the fourth over, which was also the decisive over of the innings. In this way, he spent 68 runs in his four-over spell without taking any wicket and made an unwanted record in his name for India spending the most runs in a T20I match. Earlier, this unwanted record was held in the name of leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who had given 64 runs without any wicket against South Africa in 2018.
