2018 Australia vs India - 1st T20I @ Gabba

[Bomberboyokay]

5.50pm AEST. First of a three-match series.

India opted to bench Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Washington Sundar and Umesh Yadav for the series opener. Virat Kohli was back to leading the team after having skipped the T20I series against West Indies. India's XII, named on the eve of the game, included three spin-bowling options. Krunal Pandya, by virtue of his all-round skills, could get the nod in the XI at the expense of one of the wristspin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. India are likely to have a three-man pace attack comprising Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel.

India (possible): 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 KL Rahul, 5 Rishabh Pant (wk), 6 Dinesh Karthik, 7 Krunal Pandya, 8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9 Kuldeep Yadav/Yuzvendra Chahal, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Khaleel Ahmed.

Australia, who had opted for an all-seam attack in the first ever international game on the Gold Coast, might continue with the same template and bench legspinner Adam Zampa.

Australia (possible): 1 Aaron Finch (capt), 2 D'Arcy Short, 3 Chris Lynn, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Ben McDermott, 7 Alex Carey (wk), 8 Nathan Coulter-Nile, 9 Andrew Tye, 10 Jason Behrendorff, 11 Billy Stanlake

Gee storms hardly ever happen during the afternoon/evening in QLD at this time of year

Constantly losing tosses. Just saw that Root has won his last 7 tosses or something like that, wish we had that luck.

That Indian quick with the real straight arm is a bloody weird action...

Almost looks a bit chucky!

Either hit out or get out Short

[Wolfs]

Test matches in coloured clothing is a novel idea.

We needed a spinner though. Surprised they didn’t go Agar though

 

[HBF]

We're very watchful.

 

[LukeParkerno1]
