India vs Australia: Rohit Sharma and Co eye much-needed ... (Scroll.in)

After a disappointing Asia Cup campaign, India will continue to search for answers and eye an improved performance against Aaron Finch's team.

India won the last bilateral series in the shortest format, played Down Under in December 2020. India will play three T20Is against South Africa after the Australia series and a lot will be riding on these six matches. Virat Kohli, who got his long-awaited 71st international century during the Asia Cup, will be confident and India will expect him to keep up the aggressive approach once he gets his eye. Rahul, meanwhile, is still trying to settle in after making a comeback at the Asia Cup and will be expected to take some pressure off Rohit and start strong. Chahal has proved to be expensive in the past but has been providing breakthroughs and India are likely to persist with him with the World Cup coming up. India entered as defending champions at the Asia Cup recently but defeats in the Super Fours stage to Pakistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka meant they couldn’t reach the final.

India vs Australia series: Catch the live action, scores, highlights, commentary, updates, stats and more from IND vs AUS, 1st T20I.

The Sri Lankans found Josh Hazlewood, an IPL regular, too hot to handle in the T20I series at home in June, so he, too, can be a handful. Steve Smith has been in good form of late in One-Day Internationals and Tests, and in the absence of Marsh, is likely to occupy the No. Deepak Chahar would be keen to be in the thick of the action, too, after having played just a single match in the Asia Cup. India would be hoping to determine its bowling combination for the T20 World Cup. Both teams are full of T20 stars, but with a marquee event around the corner, neither team would give undue weightage to the results. The three-match T20I series against Australia that begins at the PCA stadium here on Tuesday offers the Indians yet another chance to show their T20 skills at home.

Finch's Australia will meet Rohit-led Team India in the 1st T20I of the three-match series at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium. Thus, Rohit needs to hit a single six to equal Guptill's feat in the 1st T20I against Australia. The 35-year-old is second on the list of players with the most sixes in the shortest format. Nicknamed Hitman for his explosive batting style, the veteran Indian opener has fired 171 sixes and 323 fours in his illustrious T20I career. Rohit-led Team India will kickstart their [T20 World Cup](https://www.hindustantimes.com/topic/t20-world-cup) preparations with the three-match T20I series against the Aaron Finch-led side.

Australia bowl as David debuts; India leave out Pant (ESPNcricinfo.com)

India have chosen not to rush Bumrah back into the XI with Rohit saying he will probably play the second and third games.

He sent his first four balls - all from Umesh Yadav - for fours, with the third one demonstrating his firepower. Pat Cummins, though, got the job done with a four off the next ball. He reached his own fifty off 25 balls at the end of the 19th over and with only No.8 Harshal for company, he farmed the strike in the last and closed out the innings with 6,6,6. Green might not have even played had Marsh or Marcus Stoinis been fit, but he seized his opportunity, giving Australia the blistering start they needed. Aaron Finch gambled with Green for the final over and the allrounder ended up conceding 21. Rahul took on the pace of Josh Hazlewood and Green while Suryakumar picked off 22 runs off nine balls from legspinner Adam Zampa.

India vs Australia: Men in Blue's listless bowling at death and other ... (Firstpost)

India's bowling unit once again came under the scanner as Australia chased down a challenging 209-run target with four balls to spare, going 1-0 up in the ...

On a day when both Rohit and Virat — the first-choice opening pair according to some — were sent back to the hut early, it was Rahul who stood up for the hosts with his 35-ball 55 that comprised four fours and three sixes. Among his wickets was top-scorer Green, who departure in the 11th over began a mid-innings revival of sorts for the Men in Blue. And the manner in which he took the Aussie attack to the cleaners, smashing seven fours and five sixes, was a sign of the all-rounder back at his destructive best with the bat in hand. And it’s not just runs, his strike rate of 157.14 should also shut the critics up for a while. Pandya’s form both with bat and ball had taken a hit after a match-winning all-round display in the opening game of the Asia Cup against Pakistan. Speaking of back-ups, how good was Axar Patel in the series opener! For a change, however, all-rounder Cameron Green walked out at the start of the chase, an unfamiliar position for him in international cricket. While Jasprit Bumrah’s inclusion in the squad was a major boost to the Indians, the star pacer wasn’t included in the opening T20I, meaning Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Harshal Patel had to share the seam-bowling duties with assistance from Hardik Pandya. And with the kind of performance dished out on Tuesday, there still is a plenty for skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid to ponder over. It was poor performance in the bowling department that was the primary reason behind their defeats against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. While Finch, who had registered seven single-digit scores in his last eight outings, couldn’t quite convert a promising start into a bigger score, it was Cameron Green’s fireworks that gave the visitors the start that they needed to successfully chase down a target of this size. His 30-ball 61 was laced with eight fours and four sixes and the Western Australian struck at over 200, giving the team management a solid back-up to Warner.

India dropped as many as three catches during Australia's innings as the visitors chased down the steep 209-run target with four wickets and as many ...

And it was Axar Patel, one of the better fielders in the Indian team, who put down the chance at deep midwicket off Hardik Pandya’s bowling to allow Green, then batting on 42, to bring up his half-century. The third dropped chance would then occur in the 18th over, in which the pair of Matthew Wade and Tim David plundered 22 runs in Harshal’s final over. Axar would then have a chance fluffed off his own bowling the very next over, this time India vice-captain Rahul spilling a chance at long off, with Steve Smith surviving on 19. Pandya bounced back to form in style with a blistering 71 not out off 30 balls, helping the Men in Blue post a formidable 208/6. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison.

Australia's relatively short trip, with just three T20Is in their itinerary, marks the beginning of the Indian home season and the Men in Blue will be counting on the energy boost that the home crowd provides to come out on top. Wade would make the most of the chance handed to him by smashing three consecutive boundaries off Bhuvneshwar in the penultimate over to bring the equation down to two off the last six balls, finishing unbeaten on 45 off 21 balls. The seamer, returning to the XI after an extended injury layoff, dropped a tough catch off his own bowling after Wade chipped the ball in his direction. Cameron Green, who opened for the first time in international cricket and laid the foundation for a successful chase with a lively 61, was the first to be handed a lifeline. It was almost as if India had carried on from where they left off in their defeats to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup, making their 101-run hammering of Afghanistan seem an aberration, as the bowling unit once again failed to defend a target and leaked runs aplenty in the slog overs. This was after India posted a total in excess of 200, thanks primarily to Hardik Pandya’s heroics in the middle order with vital contributions from KL Rahul (55) and Suryakumar Yadav (46).

India vs Australia: Axar Patel makes claim for Ravindra Jadeja's ... (Firstpost)

Without Jadeja, India's plans seemed astray, so much so the management still hasn't found out a solution to fit Pant back in even if for his left-handed ...

Probably not, for he has always been the backup to Jadeja but at the same time, has patiently waited for his chances to come by. It is his moment, with a clear-cut path to the fast-approaching T20 World Cup. His arm-ball comes in with the angle, and can bowl right-handed batsmen round the legs as Josh Inglis found out. He is now the No 5 batter as well as the finisher with DK pushed to the last couple overs. Patel is definitely not the same fielder as Jadeja. There is no chance he will be pushed up the order ahead of Pandya, unless there is need for some reckless pinch-hitting. It was an add-on to his primary bowling and fielding skills, thus underlining his impact as a vital T20I player. As a left-hander coming in at number five, Jadeja reversed the right-hand uniformity, pushed Hardik Pandya down to number six and elongated India’s batting line-up. With 3/17 from four overs, Axar Patel staked his claim for Ravindra Jadeja’s vacant spot in the T20 World Cup. Yet, he’s currently a backup for reserve bowler Mohammed Shami, [who is down with Covid-19](https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/india-vs-australia-mohammed-shami-out-of-t20i-series-after-testing-positive-for-covid-19-umesh-yadav-recalled-11276251.html). For the record, Yadav isn’t to blame here. Even so, it would give the same look to India’s bowling as last year’s T20 World Cup, thus rendering any team experimentation moot.
