India disappointed its fans in the recent tournament Asia Cup. They are the most successful team in the Asia Cup and had won the most titles in this tournament. This was very rare as they could not even qualify for the final. They lost important matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. India had made some changes in the squad for this home series against Australia but almost 95% of the players are the same who were part of the side in the Asia Cup. Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are back on the team.
Rohit Sharma is going to lead India in this home series. He was good in some matches of the Asia Cup. We can expect that he will play the main role to handle the top batting order of India. Virat Kohli is back to good form after a very long time. He scored his 71st century against Afghanistan in Asia Cup. He is the other batter who had played a lot of matches against the bowlers of Australia and can perform well. Suryakumar Yadav will surely get a place in the final playing eleven for this match while KL Rahul is the other who is confirmed in the playing eleven. Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh were part of the bowling squad of India in Asia Cup and both bowlers had been dropped from this home series. Harshal Patel had been added to the squad.
