India vs Australia 1st T20 took place in Visakhapatnam on Thursday (November 23) but the fans were momentarily deprived of flawless action by the official broadcasters on OTT platform, JioCinema, as a likely technical glitch saw fans struggle to watch the later half of the Australian innings.

Many Indian fans took to X, formerly Twitter, complaining that they are unable to watch the match on the OTT app JioCinema as it keeps on asking for updates despite updating the application. The reason behind the glitch is unknown as the official broadcasters are yet to release a statement on the matter.

As far as the match is concerned, Josh Inglis gave India's youthful bowling attack a harsh reality check by smashing them all over the pitch with a brilliant century and leading Australia to a comfortable 208 for 3.

The novice attack had a nightmare when new captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bowl first on a belter. With as many as eight sixes, including six from leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi, Inglis (110 off 50 balls) took them to the cleaners.

In addition to 11 boundaries, including a bold reverse sweep off pacer Arshdeep Singh (0/41 in 4 overs) and a haughty cut over point off the same bowler, the maiden international century came off just 47 balls. In the face of attacks from both ends, only pacer Mukesh Kumar (0/29 in 4 overs) held his own.

With his one-dimensional skill set of bowling fast googlies with the occasional straighter one slipped in between, Bishnoi looked exposed for the first time. Jos Inglis took a special liking to him as the spinner went for 54 runs before finally falling to the Bishnoi.

In a stand of 130, dominated by the wicketkeeper-batter, Inglis had the experienced Steve Smith (52 off 41 balls) to company as the former captain kept pushing and prodding away from his eight boundaries.
