India and Australia are all set to face off against each other in a three-match T20I series starting 20th September. The series holds tremendous importance for both teams as it will help them to finalize their team combinations before the 20-20 World Cup begins next month.
Both the teams have several big names in their squads who will light up the series with their marvelous cricketing skills on the pitch. Let’s take a look at five players who will be top performers in upcoming India vs Australia T20I series:
1. Virat Kohli
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. However, he didn’t have a memorable Asia Cup with the bat. Yadav will look to put his dismal show in the tournament behind him and start afresh in the upcoming series. Fans will love to see his fireworks all around the ground in the series.
4. Adam Zampa
Adam Zampa has emerged as one of the best wrist spinners in international cricket in recent times. The spinner has dismissed star batter, Virat Kohli, on a number of occasions in the past. He has great numbers bowling in India where he’s picked eight wickets at an average of 17 and an economy of six.
5. Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik staged a comeback for the ages, after his stupendous performances in the Indian T20 league this year. He stormed his way back into the Indian team and played several memorable knocks in the year so far. After warming the bench for the majority of the Asia Cup, Karthik will look to make strong statements with his performances in the series. He will give his all to seal a place in the playing eleven of the 20-20 World Cup.
