India achieved a historic milestone with a 20-run victory over Australia in the fourth T20I at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur. The win not only secured a 3-1 series triumph but also marked India's 136th T20I victory, surpassing arch-rivals Pakistan with 135 wins.

In the recently concluded match, India posted a challenging total of 174-9, led by notable contributions from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, and Jitesh Sharma. Despite Ben Dwarshuis's impressive bowling performance for Australia (3/40), India managed a competitive score.
