IND vs AUS T20 Playing 11 Prediction: It is very difficult to predict with which playing 11 the Indian team will enter the first T20 against Australia on Thursday. Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy. Whereas Ruturaj Gaikwad has been made the vice-captain. Apart from them, Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the opening options. All three players are likely to get a place in the playing 11. If this happens then either Tilak Verma or Rinku Singh may have to sit out.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut on the West Indies tour. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan have been in and out of the playing 11. Ishan and Yashasvi can be seen opening in the first T20. Rituraj may get a chance at number three. Suryakumar Yadav will be at number four. Now two players will get a chance Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, and Shivam Dubey. Rinku may have to sit on the bench.
Ravi Bishnoi may be on the bench
Apart from this, the thing to be seen will be whether both Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar will play or one of the two will play. Both can be given preference over Ravi Bishnoi to bring depth in batting. Apart from this, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, and Mukesh Kumar will be the 3 fast bowlers.
What will be the Australian team?
Talking about Australia, Steve Smith is certain to play. He was due to open in the T20 series against South Africa before being ruled out due to a wrist injury. Marcus Stoinis and Sean Abbott should get a chance. Did not play in the World Cup semi-finals and final. Tanveer Sangha can be tried by giving rest to Adam Zampa.
