India vs Australia 3rd T20 Playing 11: IND take on AUS at Hobart. (CREIMAS for BCCI)
India vs Australia 3rd T20 Match Playing 11, Full Squad: After losing to Australia in the 2nd T20I in Melbourne, India might opt to make a few changes to their team at Hobart in order to claw back the advantage. Currently trailing 1-0 in the 5-match series, the Men in Blue might opt to bring in Arshdeep Singh into the mix in place of either Kuldeep Yadav or Harshit Rana.
Arshdeep, India’s most successful T20I bowler, hasn’t found a place in the side for the first 2 matches but with India on the backfoot, it might force the team management to sacrifice one spin option and bring him in. With India’s obsession with batting deep and Harshit scoring 35 in the last match, all signs point towards Arshdeep replacing Kuldeep in the XI at Hobart.
Australia will also have to change their team in one slot with Josh Hazlewood set to skip the last 3 T20Is vs India in order to prepare for the upcoming Ashes. That would mean that 33-year-old Sean Abbott might get a look in and showcase his skills.
Here’s a look at the IND vs AUS Predicted Playing XIs:
IND predicted XI: Shubman Gill (vc), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy
AUS predicted XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Short, Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Sean Abbott, Tanveer Sangha.
