The second T20I between India and Australia did not go down too sweet for the visitors as they suffered a second consecutive loss handing hosts a 2-0 series victory. Virat Kohli, however, added another record to his list by becoming the fastest to score 22,000 runs in international cricket.

During the match, Australia went on to bat first and like the first T20I, posted a humungous total again - 398 for the loss of 4 wickets. The top 5 batsmen in Australia's line-up put on a stellar show posting 4 fifties and 1 century among them. Steve Smith led the batting attack with 104 runs, while David Warner (83), Aaron Finch (60), Marnus Labuschagne (70) and Maxwell (63), added with their vital contributions throughout Australia's innings.
