Indian players to look out for T20I series against Australia
India is set to play the first match of the T20I series at Visakhapatnam against Australia on Thursday. After the World Cup heartbreak, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj won't be a part of the series. Suryakuamr Yadav will take command of the team and the likes of Rinku Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravi Bishnoi will feature in the squad. Here are the top players to look out for in the series.
1 / 5
Rinku Singh
The explosive left-handed batter will look to make his mark in the T30 format after enjoying a successful stint with the Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scoring 474 runs with a strike rate of 149.53 and a batting average of 59.25.

Yashasvi Jaiswal
The left-handed opener after impressing with Rajashtan Royals made his debut against West Indies earlier this year. He scored a maiden ton in the Test format against the Caribbean side and also scored a century in the 19th Asian Games establishing himself as one of the future prospects.

Tilak Varma
The left-handed middle-order batter was the backbone of the Mumbai Indians in the last IPL season. He struck 343 runs for MI, playing some crucial knocks for the team. Except for his 55* in the Asian Games in national colours, he is yet to impress and the Australia series will be the best opportunity for him.

Shivam Dube
Another left-handed batter who has the ability to finish the games for his team. After impressing with CSK, Dube went on to shine for India, especially in the T20I format.
