5 Most Embarrassing Defeats for India in T20Is

#1 Australia vs India (only T20I), Melbourne, 1 February 2008

India registered their lowest score in T20Is

Just four months after India were crowned champions in the inaugural World T20, they came crashing down to earth at the Melbourne Cricket Ground against Australia. It was Adam Gilchrist's final match for Australia in T20Is so it was always going to be a historic occasion but India's humiliating nine-wicket defeat made it even more memorable as the hosts defeated India for the first time in the format.

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, India were bundled out for just 74, which to this day, remains their lowest score in T20Is. At the time, it was also the second-lowest score in T20Is, just above Kenya's 73. India's batsmen never really got going and Irfan Pathan, who scored 26, was the only Indian player to reach double digits for the visitors, who were bowled out in 17.3 overs.

All of Australia's six bowlers chipped in with a wicket but it was Nathan Bracken's 3/11 that was the standout bowling performance. In response, Australia took less than 12 overs to register their maiden T20I win over India. Captain Michael Clarke scored an unbeaten 37 while Gilchrist finished his T20I career with 25 as the hosts romped home with nine wickets and 52 balls to spare.

Brief scores: India 74 all out in 17.3 overs (Irfan Pathan 26, Nathan Bracken 3/11) lost to Australia 75/1 in 11.2 overs (Michael Clarke 37*)
