IND vs AUS Match Preview:
After the ODIs, India and Australia will resume their rivalry in T20Is. Australia clinched the ODI series 2-1 and will be fancying their chances in the upcoming series as well.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The hosts pretty much outplayed India in the first two ODIs and will be confident of doing well in the T20Is too against the reigning world champions.
India, on the other hand, will take confidence from their thumping 9-wicket win over Australia in the final ODI.
Veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli delivered a stunning batting display to help India avoid a whitewash and the onus will now be on the rising superstars such as Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill and others to power the team to a series win in the T20Is.
India have not lost a single series since Suryakumar Yadav took charge of the T20I side and will be eager to extend the impressive run. The Suryakumar-led side definitely faces its toughest challenge yet in the upcoming series against Australia and will be eager to prove its mettle.
