India national cricket team vs Australia national cricket team:  The T20I series between India and Australia is reaching a crucial stage, with just two matches remaining. The fourth T20I takes place on Thursday at Carrara Oval, Queensland, with the series currently tied at 1-1. Both teams will be eager to assert dominance before the series decider. India, however, face a few challenges, as captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubman Gill have struggled to find form so far, failing to deliver impactful performances. This has placed extra responsibility on Abhishek Sharma to provide explosive starts and set the tone at the top of the order in the remaining games.

Shubman has now gone six matches on the tour without registering a half-century, highlighting a concerning dip in form. His scores since the start of the ODI series read 10, 9, 24, 37*, 5, and 15. The lone bright spot came at Canberra, where he shared a steady partnership with captain Suryakumar Yadav.

Gill has struggled particularly against fuller-length deliveries that offer even slight movement, and for much of the series, he hasn’t displayed the authoritative, composed touch that has defined his batting in the past. This ongoing slump has raised questions about his ability to anchor the innings and provide the solid starts India relies on at the top of the order.

India vs Australia Squads

India: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill (VC), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Sanju Samson (WK), Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar,

Australia: Mitchell Marsh (captain), Matthew Short, Josh Inglis (wk), Josh Phillippe (wk), Mitchell Owen, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Kuhnemann, Adam Zampa, Mahli Beardman, Benn Dwarshuis,Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Marcus Stoinis.
