India: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna
Australia: Matthew Short, Steven Smith, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (c & wk), Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Jason Behrendorff/Adam Zampa, Tanveer Sangha
Ishan Kishan: Ishan Kishan has been in fine form in the ongoing T20I series, delivering two consecutive half-centuries at a striking rate of 154.93. Currently standing as the second-highest run-scorer, he has accumulated 110 runs with five fours and nine sixes.
Marcus Stoinis: Australia’s all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will be a smart option, considering his ability to contribute significantly with both bat and ball. He showcased his prowess by scoring 45 runs at an impressive strike rate of 180.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Yashasvi Jaiswal, despite a challenging start in the first T20I, made a strong comeback in the previous match and crafted a remarkable half-century in just 25 deliveries. His innings included nine fours and two maximums, showcasing his ability to score quickly.
Arshdeep Singh: Arshdeep Singh can be a good differential pick, especially if India bowls first. He is India’s designated death-over bowler and his accurate yorkers can help him pick up a couple of wickets. Currently, he is selected in just 30.9% of the teams.
Tilak Varma: India’s top 4 has done most of the heavy lifting, which has led to fewer opportunities for Tilak Varma, at number 5. Additionally, the team promoted Rinku Singh ahead of him after India were approaching the death overs. Due to these reasons, his selection % has fallen to 9.4% and this makes him a great differential opportunity.
Matthew Short: Matthew Short hasn’t been able to deliver either with the bat nor the ball thus far. In the first match, he went for 13 runs and picked up a wicket in one over while managing just 19 runs with the bat in the second game.
