The India Cricket Team will get a good chance to seal the ongoing IND vs AUS T20I series with a win. The Men in Blue have been boosted by the arrival of vice-captain Shreyas Iyer. This essentially means that destructive southpaw Tilak Varma will have to concede his place to the senior batter. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav faces a tough headache in choosing between Prasidh Krishna and Deepak Chahar.
India started the series with back-to-back wins but then it was the Glenn Maxwell show that helped Australia remain in contention for the series. The Men in Blue will look to bounce back after the defeat and seal the 5-match series with a win in Raipur.

What to expect from the Indian Cricket Team
- Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad have established themselves as proficient batters and will retain their spot as the designated openers.
- At Number 3, Ishan Kishan has been in stunning form and the Men in Blue will bank on the keeper to light up the Raipur sky with some big hits.
- Shreyas Iyer will find himself back in the squad at Number 4 after a brief 3-match break after the ODI World Cup. The vice-captain will be entrusted with the duty of anchoring the innings for the hosts. Iyer’s arrival means it is time over for youngster Tilak Varma.
- The arrival of Iyer will force SKY to bat at number 5, his designated spot. The skipper will look to continue his fiery form and retain his rank as the World’s Number 1 T20I batter.
- Rinku Singh has established himself as the designated finisher in the team and will play at Number 6 with Axar Patel joining down the order at 7.
- Number 8 will be a tough choice for SKY. Deepak Chahar is back in the squad and an established all-rounder. Prasidh Krishna on the other hand leaked runs thereby making the case for Chahar.
- Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, and Arshdeep Singh will be the designated bowlers in the side.
