India vs Australia 2019: Players to watch out for in T20I
The two cricketing giants are ready to lock horns yet again to offer mouth-watering encounters starting with two-off T20I series from 24th Feb in Visakhapatnam. Australians are geared up to give the Indians a tough fight after their humiliation in their own backyard. On the other hand, Indians are high on confidence after their domination in Australia and New Zealand. But their form in T20I is a bit worrying factor as they settled for a 1-1 draw against the Aussies and losing 1-2 to the Kiwis. Still, Indians are the favourites with their home advantage as well as having a full-fledged squad. Both the nations are looking forward to picking the best combination from their remaining few matches to strengthen their respective squad for the mega event in England. Here are the few players who could make an impact in the T20I series.
#1 KL Rahul
KL Rahul, an exquisite manoeuvrer of the cricketing ball, has been out of form for the past few series. To add to his woes he was handed an interim ban from international cricket for his controversial statement in a talk show. Hence he was dropped from the limited overs squad during Australia and New Zealand tour.
Last year his avg in T20I was 36 at a strike rate close to 150. His top two innings were one against Ireland scoring 70 off just 36 balls followed by a glorious 101* (54 balls) against England in Old Trafford. But in his next 7 outings, he just managed to score 111 runs with an avg of mere 18.5.
He will be coming with all guns blazing against the Aussies to regain his entity. A player of his caliber is expected to grab the given opportunities.
