India Playing XI vs Australia – 3rd T20I, India Tour of Australia 2025:
Openers: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill
The visitors would like to win the third match of the five-match series against Australia to level the series and keep their chances of victory alive.
For that to happen, they will be confident of their batsmen to perform well, as it was the failure of the batting department which was a major reason why India lost the previous game by four wickets.
Apart from Abhishek Sharma, who scored an aggressive half-century, no other batsman could take the lead as the Indian batting lineup tried to adopt aggressive options, which led to the batsmen losing their wickets.
The team management will hope that the batsmen will correct the mistakes made in the last game and perform brilliantly in the next game.
The responsibility of giving a good start to the team will be on the opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill.,
The pair have not been successful as a partnership in the two matches so far in the series, and they will be looking to turn the fortunes around and show what the Indian opening pair is capable of in the first six overs.,
If we talk about the individual performances of both the batsmen, Shubman would like to score a big score while Abhishek would like to continue the good work he is doing for the team in 2025.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel.
After the openers will come the middle order which had a change in the last match, in which Sanju Samson will bat at number three and Harshit Rana will come to bat before Shivam Dubey.
It will be interesting to see if the Men in Blue continue their approach of being flexible, given the performance of the batting lineup in the last match.
Another thing to watch is what approach the Indian batsmen decide to adopt against the Australian bowling lineup. They will be aggressive or take more responsibility by assessing the situation and situations.
Regardless of the approach and batting order, the responsibility of scoring most of the runs for the team will be on the top five batsmen.
Bowlers: Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Jasprit Bumrah
After a poor performance by the home team in the first ten overs, the bowlers did well by taking six Australian wickets, considering they did not have enough runs to play for.
The bowling attack would like the batsmen to get better scores to defend when they take the field in the third match.
Their fast bowling arsenal for this match will include Jasprit Bumrah and Harshit Rana, while Shivam Dubey will be the third fast bowling option.,
As far as spin bowling is concerned, it will be commanded by Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty and Akshar Patel.
