Predicting India’s Playing XI for their final T20I against Australia

The Indian team has bagged the T20 series with a win against Australia at Raipur. The young and inexperienced Indian team exhibited their potential throughout the series to overpower the Australian team. Now they will be going to Bengaluru to play the last match of this T20 series. In this article, we will take a look at the probable India’s Playing XI in the final T20I in Bengaluru.

Top Order

The opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad has been outstanding in this series. Both openers have delivered impressive individual performances which is a great sign for India going forward in this format. They will be hoping for another brilliant outing in the last match of the series. 

Shreyas Iyer has made a comeback in the team but the comeback did not go as expected in Raipur. He will get another chance in Bengaluru to deliver a performance that many expect from him. 

Middle Order

The performance from the Indian middle order has also been spectacular in this series. We have seen some explosive knocks in the middle order from these young faces. At No.4 Suryakumar Yadav will be the lynchpin of this batting attack. Rinku Singh will be accompanying him at No.5 and his finishing skills will be crucial. The wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma showed promise in the last match with his quickfire cameo. He will get another chance to carry on his form. Axar Patel with his batting skills will be instrumental as well in the lower middle order.

Bowling Unit

The fast-bowling unit of Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Kumar, and Avesh Khan put up a strong performance to prevent Australia from chasing the target. Chahar is making a comeback after a long spell of injury and he picked up a couple of wickets in Raipur. Fans would be expecting more wickets from him in the next match.

Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi played their part in the last match to take wickets in the middle overs. On the difficult track in Bengaluru, their contribution will be even more important as the Australians would be looking to exploit the batting heaven of Chinnaswamy Stadium.
