The 5 match T20 series between India and Australia is starting tomorrow i.e. from 23rd November. This series is important for the preparation of the T20 World Cup to be held in June 2024.

Before the T20 World Cup, Team India has to play only 11 T20 International matches. Hardik Pandya was injured during the World Cup 2023. It is very difficult for him to play before IPL 2024. In such a situation, T20 league will also become important for the preparation of the World Cup. Senior players have been given rest from the series against Australia. Suryakumar Yadav has been made the captain.

The T20 World Cup 2024 is to be played jointly between West Indies and America. Before the World Cup, the Indian team has to play a series of 5 T20 matches against Australia, 3 against South Africa and 3 T20 against Afghanistan. According to the news of Times of India, Hardik Pandya has been leading the T20 team for the last one year. There is little hope of his return before IPL. As captain, he has made Gujarat Titans champion.

Who gets a chance as an opener?

Talking about the series against Australia, apart from Ishan Kishan, Rituraj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal have got a place in the team as openers. In such a situation, it remains to be seen who will get a chance in the first match. Recently, Yashasvi had scored a century in the Asian Games. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan remained sitting on the bench most of the time during the World Cup. In such a situation, Yashasvi and Ishaan can play as openers in the first match. Suryakumar Yadav can land at number-3 while Tilak Verma can land at number-4.

Will Akshar Patel return?

Left arm spinner and all-rounder Akshar Patel got a place in the team for the World Cup 2023. But he got injured during the Asia Cup. After this, R Ashwin was included in the team in his place. He is going to make a comeback from the series against Australia. This series is going to be important for Rinku Singh to Shivam Dubey.
