AUS v IND 2025: WATCH- Suryakumar Yadav's ecstatic celebration, hugs Mitchell Marsh after India wins the toss in 3rd T20I

Australia leads the five-match T20I series 1-0 after two games.

India and Australia clashed in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on November 2, 2025. Australia leads the series 1-0 after a brilliant win in the second match in Melbourne.

India needs to win this game and stay alive in the series, but the toss hasn’t been on the side of the Men in Blue. India captain Suryakumar Yadav has lost the majority of the tosses in his captaincy career, including losing every toss in their Asia Cup 2025 win.

Suryakumar lost the toss in the first two T20Is as well and decided to pray for winning the toss in the third T20I, and the gods seemingly heard him. India won the toss and chose to bowl against Australia in the 3^rd T20I.

As soon as the match referee confirmed India had won the toss, Suryakumar Yadav was ecstatic and even hugged his Australian counterpart, Mitchell Marsh.

India made three changes as Sanju Samson, Harshit Rana, and Kuldeep Yadav were benched as Jitesh Sharma, Arshdeep Sing,h and Washington Sundar came into the playing XI. For Australia, Sean Abbott replaced Josh Hazlewood in the XI.
