India will be up against Australia in the five-match TI20 series, set to commence in the capital Canberra. Following the Asia Cup, this is the Indian team's first T20 assignment and Australia will challenge Suryakumar Yadav and Co, especially on their home soil with their fearless approach.

India will take on Australia in a five-match T20I series, starting in the Australian capital Canberra, following the hosts' impressive 2-1 ODI series victory. The personnel has changed a bit for both teams from the 50-over format to the 20-over, with Suryakumar Yadav continuing to lead the T20I side and Shubman Gill being his deputy. Australia will be T20 specialists Tim David, Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis return to the fold and it promises to be a cracker of a series, with two strong and quality teams being pitted against one another.

India will be without their premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the five games, but have the leader of the bowling attack, Jasprit Bumrah, returning for the T20Is. India's batting strength and quality will be challenged in these five games, given the captain and vice-captain, Surya and Gill, didn't particularly light up the Asia Cup. For Australia, the aim will be to continue from where they left off against the West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand, as the fearless approach and going for everything so far has worked for Mitchell Marsh and Co, thus far.
