India vs Australia 2017: India’s probable XI for first T20 International

Table of Contents

Fast bowlers

Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Newly engaged Bhuvaneshwar Kumar will be the part of XI according to the calculations. Bhuvi had great past series against both Australia and Sri Lanka and he would want to continue his good form in this T20 series as well. Indian selectors are smartly shuffling their pace bowling options and this is giving effective results for the team.

Jaspreet Bumrah

The geeky faced young pace bowler, Jaspreet Bumrah, has become one of the important bowlers in the limited overs and management is always keen to groom him. Bumrah is now on the 2nd spot in the list of T20 bowling rankings and his past performance makes him the strike bowler of today’s match as well. Bumrah’s spell will play a deciding factor as he bowls really well in the death.

Ashish Nehra

Ashish Nehra, India’s most senior player in the pool is also making his comeback after 8 months; he last played in February against England. Nehra was in talks for last few days for his selection in the team but his T20 record and his experience in the clinched moments is useful for the team. Despite the other pace bowlers in the team, we might find him in the playing XI.
