Gaikwad slammed a career-best 123 not out off just 57 balls with 13 fours and seven sixes, a first ton by an Indian batter against Australia in T20 Internationals.

Ruturaj Gaikwad displayed brute power and wonderful technique in equal measure with a maiden hundred that propelled India to a commanding 222 for 3 against Australia in the third T20 International here on Tuesday.
Gaikwad slammed a career-best 123 not out off just 57 balls with 13 fours and seven sixes, a first ton by an Indian batter against Australia in T20 Internationals.
The 30 runs that Gaikwad took off Glenn Maxwell in the 20th over could prove to be a game-changer. Skipper Matthew Wade's decision to give a part-time off-spinner 20th over of the innings backfired big-time.
On a wicket that had some extra bounce and swing, India had a shaky start losing their both their in-form batters Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) and Ishan Kishan (0) cheaply after Matthew Wade opted to bowl to make use of the dewy conditions.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav (39; 29b) looked set for a big knock with two sixes and five boundaries before debutant pacer Aaron Hardie dismissed him with a short ball just after the halfway mark.
With run-rate not an issue -- eight per over -- they needed someone to anchor their innings, and the Indian vice-captain Gaikwad played the role to perfection.
From 13 off 15 balls, the right-hander with orthodox technique, who often drew flak for his slow starts, switched gears after Surya's dismissal, displaying the wide array of shots in his repertoire.
His knock was not just about classical drives in the V but also a testament to his brute power. He packed a lot of punch in his pulls and an inside-out maximums. It was a different Gaikwad on display during last six overs.
Once he got his furst 50 off 32 balls, he then went berserk, taking another 20 to bring up his maiden triple digit score in the last over of Maxwell.
Gaikwad muscled Maxwell over wide long to to bring up his century with a six as he smashed two more in the same over that yielded 30 runs as India amassed 200-plus totals in each of the three T20Is so far.&nbsp;

Pakistan's face pacer Hasan Ali keen yto play in IPL if opportunity arises. Pak players banned in IPL since 2009.&nbsp;

Pakistan's pace sensation, Hasan Ali, expressed his keen desire to participate in the prestigious Indian Premier League (IPL) if opportunity arises. In 2008, renowned Pakistani cricketers such as Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Kamran Akmal, and Sohail Tanvir had participated in the IPL.&nbsp;
Unfortunately, political tensions between India and Pakistan led to a ban on Pakistani players' involvement in the IPL from 2009 onwards.
Despite this historical constraint, Hasan Ali, who recently showcased his skills on Indian land during the World Cup 2023, lauded the IPL as "one of the biggest leagues" globally.
In an interview with Samaa TV, Hasan Ali emphasised his aspiration to partake in the IPL, acknowledging it as a significant cricketing platform. He stated, "Every player wants to play IPL, and it is my wish to play there. It is one of the biggest leagues in the world, and I will definitely play there if there is an opportunity in the future."
Reflecting on his recent performance in the World Cup, Hasan Ali demonstrated commendable prowess by securing nine wickets in six matches, boasting an impressive average of 6.29, including a notable four-wicket haul. His return to ODI cricket during the World Cup came after Naseem Shah suffered an ankle injury in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Four match against India in Colombo.
Notably, Hasan Ali has excelled in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), representing both Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United.&nbsp;
Currently occupying the second po sition in the all-time leading wicket-takers list in PSL, Hasan stands just six wickets away from joining the elite club of bowlers with 100 or more scalps in the league's history, trailing behind Wahab Riaz.
