The Indian team will come up against the world champions Australia as it takes on the visitors in the first T20I of the three-match series beginning at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, Chandigarh. Both the teams will be trying out various combinations of their playing 11 in this series although Australia are missing a few of their key players.
Here’s how the Playing 11 of India and Australia would look like
All the focus will be on Tim David, representing Australia for the first time, having already played international cricket for Singapore. He gave up his Singaporean citizenship and chose his father’s country after his big-hitting prowess got noticed worldwide.
Along with David, Nathan Ellis and Cameroon Green will also be in focus. They have replaced the likes of Mitchell Starc and Mitch Marsh, who are sure to play eleven probables for the T20 World Cup.
As for India, Umesh Yadav has come in place of Mohammad Shami. But with Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar already in the side, it is difficult for him to get a place in the playing eleven. The opening pair of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma will be under focus, and so will be the selection between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik as the wicket-keeper batter.
