Dhaka, Nov. 8 -- The final T20I between India and Australia at the Gabba was abandoned due to heavy rain, with only 4.5 overs possible, handing India a 2-1 series victory.

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh had opted to bowl on a green surface, but India's openers Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma quickly showed there were runs to be made.

Gill looked fluent, striking four consecutive boundaries off Ben Dwarshuis during his brisk 29 off 16 balls, while Abhishek mixed aggression with fortune, surviving two dropped catches early in his innings.

During his short stay, Abhishek hit a personal milestone, becoming the fastest batter among Full Member nations to reach 1,000 T20I runs - reaching the mark in just 528 balls.
