The undisputed King of the cricketing world staged an incredible comeback in the recent Asia Cup after being out of form for the entire year in international cricket. Kohli ended up as the second-highest run scorer of the tournament, scoring 276 runs at an average of 92 and a magnificent strike rate of 147. He also brought up his elusive 71st international hundred for which the fans were waiting for 1020 days. Having got the monkey off his back, Kohli will be raring to go in the upcoming series.

2. Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is one of the most destructive batters in the T20 format. The all-rounder played a crucial role in Australia’s victory over India in the 2019 T20I series. He will, once again, look to guide his team to a memorable series win taking the momentum into the World Cup next month.

3. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has been included in the Indian squad as an X-factor player who can turn the game on its head. The star batter has played numerous memorable knocks in the format this year.

Fans will love to see his fireworks all around the ground in the series.

4. Adam Zampa
