India has won the T20 series against Australia, despite the host defeated the visitors in the third and final match that was held on Tuesday at the Sydney cricket stadium. While the host had avoided the whitewash against the visitors, Kohli and his fleet had secured a series victory and are getting prepared for the upcoming test series with the same winning momentum. 

Apart from winning the series, there were major takeaways from the game from the moments of pride and true sportsmanship. Along lifting the trophy, the Indian cricket team had sent some of the iconic and remarkable scenes to the Indian cricket fans from Australia. In an unprecedented event in recent times, the newly capped player Natarajan was celebrated by the entire team and the entire country for his outstanding performances in his debut series as a man in blue. 

Natarajan has strongly been pillaring the Indian bowling line-up and he put a crucial show in collapsing the Aussie batsmen. Through his fierce and precise yorkers, Natarajan, who was one of the significant products of the IPL 2020, had staunchly attacked the host with his balls and fresh strategies. He was one of the vital contributors to steer the team towards victory in the T20 series and when the visitors had won the first two games of the series, India had put the ball on the court of the host in avoiding the whitewash. 

However, India didn't lose hope and stayed happy after the match, and while India had lifted the trophy, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been named as the player of the series. With some brilliant knocks, Pandya deservedly got the award. 

However, in the choice of award or true sportsmanship, Pandya had chosen true sportsmanship and he won the hearts after handing over the Player of the Series award to Natarajan and along with Pandya, Indian skipper Virat Kohli had also handed over the trophy to Natarajan and with two trophies- one from Kohli and another from Pandya, the young pacer had posed for a picture, which spoke about the real gentleness of the game. 

The image of Natarajan with two trophies had shown the nice gesture of the sport and how the Tamil Nadu player is celebrated by the Indian cricket team and fans. The moment of sportsmanship had ended the series by winning hearts across and beyond the borders. The team jointly posed for the photograph with Natarajan is seen carrying two trophies with players leaving Sydney with a smile. 

After Pandya handed over the trophy to Natarajan, the all-rounder had praised the young bowler for his outstanding performances. Taking to Twitter, Pandya said, "Natarajan, you were outstanding in this series. To perform brilliantly in difficult conditions on your India debut speaks volumes of your talent and hard work. You deserve Man of the Series from my side bhai!" 

Natarajan, who fondly been called as a yorker machine, is in the rain of appreciation from the fans for having an outstanding debut series. In the first T20 match, Natarajan bowled four overs and took three crucial wickets by giving thirty runs and he rocked in the second match against the host during which he got two wickets in four overs by giving twenty runs and his spell excellently on the batting pitch and in the third match, he bowled four overs and gave 33 runs for a wicket. With the significant breakthrough, the Indian cricket fans celebrate and relish that Natarajan would become an important asset to the team in powering up the bowling line-up.
