India Squad For Australia T20I Series (Predicted): Focus on Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar

Jasprit Bumrah fitness will be watched keenly

Mumbai, September 10: India will be eager to dish out a strong show against Australia in the three-match Test series beginning on September 20, and it is imperative for them.

India failed to reach the Asia Cup 2022 final after going down to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 and they will be keen to make amends against Australia at home.

But that will not be the lone target for India as they would want to further assess the team members ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. There have been a couple of injury concerns in India camp like Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar.

India would be hoping that they would return at the earliest, in this series itself and gave a good account of themselves. India felt the absence of these premier players in the Asia Cup 2022 as they struggled to induce some flexibility in the squad.

So, here’s India squad for the Australia T20Is (Predicted).

1. India squad

1. Rohit Sharma (captain), 2. KL Rahul, 3. Virat Kohli, 4. Suryakumar Yadav, 5. Hardik Pandya, 6. Rishabh Pant, 7. Axar Patel, 8. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9. Arshdeep Singh, 10. Jasprit Bumrah, 11. Yuzvendra Chahal, 12. Dinesh Karthik, 13. Ravi Bishnoi, 14. Deepak Hooda / Sanju Samson, 15. Deepak Chahar.

2 India vs Australia Schedule

1st T20: September 20, Mohali, 7.30 PM IST

2nd T20: September 23, Nagpur, 7.30 PM IST

3rd T20: September 25, Hyderabad, 7.30 PM IST

3 India team selection — talking points

India skipper Rohit Sharma indicated that they will continue with the policy of experimenting. So, we may just see the players playing unusual role in the 11 and India might just look to give opportunity to a couple of more players. Sanju Samson might just get a look in the place of Deepak Hooda or the selectors might want to give a short break to Rishabh Pant. They would want to give a run to pacer Deepak Chahar as he had replaced Avesh Khan in the Asia Cup 2022 squad recently.

India will also be eager to see the return of Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the Asia Cup with an injury. Other than that, the rest of the team get selected itself unless the management want to give a break to someone.
