1. Jasprit Bumrah conceded 50 runs

For a bowler such as him, it is almost impossible to imagine to that he will concede 50 runs in four overs. However, as they say, cricket is a game of great uncertainties. During the third T20I against Australia, he conceded exactly 50 runs in his spell.

Notably, most of his runs came in the first and last over of his spell. In these overs, he conceded 17 and 18 runs respectively. With this, he has broken his previous record of conceding 47 runs that he did against the West Indies in 2016.

2. Virat Kohli becoming India's second-highest all-time run-getter

The former India skipper scored 63 runs in the game when it mattered the most. The team was struggling at 30/2 chasing 187. However, his innings helped the team chase down the target with ease in the end.

With this, Kohli now has 24,078 international runs across formats. He is only behind his idol, Sachin Tendulkar, who has 34,375 runs across formats. Tendulkar played only one T20I though.
