AUS vs IND Dream11 Team | India vs Australia 1st T20I Match Prediction

Visakhapatnam, 24 February at 07:00 PM IST

Skipper Virat Kohli returns to the helm as India gear up to take on Australia in the first of the two-match T20I series at Visakhapatnam on Sunday. Australians would be relieved for India’s talismanic spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been given rest but at the same time, they have to deal with refreshed Jasprit Bumrah.

Aussie riding high on Big Bash form 

The touring Australians would look to make the most of Big Bash form, with the likes of D’Arcy Short, Kane Richardson, Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell all having an excellent run. If they can carry on from where they left at the BBL 08, the hosts could find it difficult to get them under control.

Pitch conditions – Visakhapatnam has been kind to the batsmen. However, there is always some purchase for the spinners.

Wicket-keeper – There is a chance Peter Handscomb would keep wickets for Australia. We’d recommend you go with MS Dhoni to be on the safer side.

Batsmen – Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Aaron Finch would be the top picks among the batsmen.

All-rounders – Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell bring the X-factor to the table and must be picked.
