After a nail-biting end of the ODI series, India’s preparation for the KFC T20 International series has begun.
India, who lost the five-match ODI series 1-4 against Australia, will be keen to turn the tables in the three-match T20 series, which starts on Tuesday at the Adeliade Oval. Australia, on the other hand, will be keen to assert their dominance over India at home, where they are a tough team to beat.
With an array of stars in both teams, the series promises to be an entertaining one. India, who have always possessed a strong batting line up, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and MS Dhoni will now be joined by Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh for the T20 matches.
Australian bowlers will find it tough to contain such a strong batting line-up.
On the bowling front, Ashish Nehra and Harbhajan Singh will join R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Umesh Yadav.
Meanwhile, cricketers took to Social Media to express their excitement and preparedness for the upcoming T20 matches.
