India vs Australia Highlights, 3rd T20I: India beat Australia by 5 wickets, level series 1-1

"It was really important to win the toss. Good to break the streak. Very happy to be on the winning side. Those guys [who came in today] were practising really hard. This was a really good combination. Washy is a flexible batter. Both Bumrah and Arshdeep is a lethal combination. Shubman and Abhishek are fire and ice; same for Bumrah and Arshdeep. Bumrah did his job brilliantly. [Arshdeep] very clear with his plans."

"Just been working on the process, and trusting my skills. I feel like there's always a chance when someone's coming after you. Jasprit bhai coming from the other end also helps... I enjoy playing for India. It's just fun whenever I get the chance to bowl. Just try to execute whatever I have practised," Arshdeep said.
