Overview
- Head coach Gautam Gambhir delegated the presentation to Khaja in a 'Dressing Room BTS' clip released on Sunday.
- Sundar reignited the series in Hobart with a promotion up the order and a match-winning 49 off 23 balls.
- He followed up with a 1.2-over burst of 3 for 3 in the fourth T20I, removing Marcus Stoinis and triggering an Australian collapse.
- The final match at the Gabba was washed out, leaving India 2–1 victors under captain Suryakumar Yadav.
- Sundar thanked Khaja and the support staff for their behind-the-scenes work as the BCCI's relatively new honour continues to recognise decisive contributors, following Rohit Sharma's ODI award.
