The T20I series between India and Australia starts today in Mohali. In the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022, India failed to reach the finals. Sri Lanka won the final against Pakistan. Virat Kohli returned to his old form in the Asia Cup and scored his 71st century against Afghanistan. Kohli will definitely be one of the players that the Australian bowlers are paying special attention to. While Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya are also seen as important players. The Indian team is in confusion as to who to field between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik at the wicket keeper position.
In terms of batting, Rohit Sharma is set to open alongside KL Rahul, while Virat Kohli will play at No.3. Suryakumar Yadav at No.4, Hardik Pandya likely to take No.5 and Dinesh Karthik at No.6 if Bant is not taken. If Pant makes it to the squad, Hardik is likely to drop out. The number 7 spot in the Indian team is vacant as Jadeja is out due to injury. Axar Patel is expected to be fielded in that place.

Yuzvendra Chahal will join Axar in the spin department. Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel are the trio of fast bowlers. However, the team has an option to include Deepak Chahar in the playing XI. Chahar’s batting ability is a big plus for the Indian team. But the question arises as to who should be seated if Chahar is included in the team. The match between India and Australia starts at 7.30 pm. The match will be telecast on Star Sports Network.
India’s playing XI for the first T20 against Australia: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant/Dinesh Karthik, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Jasprit Bumrah.
