Australia is the incumbent T20 World Cup champion, but Team India will be the underdog in their forthcoming T20 International series.
There won’t be many well-known faces among the guests. Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis all been sidelined to recover from minor aches and pains while David Warner was always going to miss the series. The Australian team will get the opportunity to try out some of the peripheral players in the opening T20I, which will be contested on Tuesday, September 20 at Mohali. Despite this, Australia has put together a strong team that may challenge India. The following three Australian athletes could prevent the Men in Blue from winning yet another bilateral T20I series.
Even though Cameron Green has only played one T20I for Australia, he has already established himself as one of the top names across all forms. Only two weeks prior, in a closely contested ODI against New Zealand, he scored an unbeaten 89 to lead the team to victory. Glenn Maxwell, one of the top T20 players in the world, has the ability to win any game on his good days. The important Australian batsman in the middle order will be the star all-rounder, and the series will definitely make advantage of his bowling.
Maxwell has scored 431 runs at an average of 33.15 in 16 T20Is against India. He has four wickets taken off of him and a maximum score of 113*.
India will be the unfortunate losers of the pick, while Tim David will finally get the chance to play for Australia. The big man has been successful in franchise leagues all over the world, as indicated by his lifetime strike rate of 163.17, making him one of the most lethal T20 batters in the world.
