The first T20I between India and Australia to be played at the Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Thursday, November 23 may be interrupted due to rain. Both the teams are preparing for this match and they have some new players. After the recently concluded 50-over Mahakumbh, the five-match long series is going to begin.
In the absence of Mitchell Marsh, Australia will be led by Matthew Wade who led them in their last bilateral T20I series in South Africa against South Africa. Apart from Marsh, other senior players including Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will also miss the series, giving the recent ODI world champions a chance to test their bench strength.
On the other hand, India have made Suryakumar Yadav their new captain for the series and he has already made it clear that the hosts will aim to play fearless cricket over the next 12 days. The Men in Blue are also due to compete with players who were part of the gold medal-winning team at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China in October.
