1. Team News - India
There is 24% chance of thunderstorms in Indore on Tuesday evening (January 6) and that is a not a positive news ahead of the game. The Indore pitch generally leans towards batsmen, and India might just retain the side for the first T20I. It means Ravindra Jadeja might have to sit out of this match. Since the first match did not take place, India will be keen to watch the recovery status of Jasprit Bumrah and Shikhar Dhawan in a real-match situation.
