IND vs AUS: The Men in Blue are currently playing against Australia for a three-match ODI series. And since this series is nearing its end, the T20I side too has left for the T20I series, where captain Suryakumar Yadav had posted a picture at the airport along with fellow teammates Jasprit Bumrah, Shivam Dube, and Tilak Varma.
The BCCI had announced a 16-member team for the five-match T20I series, which will be held in Canberra. Seven players from the ODI, like Gill, are in Australia currently.

It's the first time that both these teams will be facing each other in the shortest format after their Super 8 match in the 2024 T20 World Cup last year. In that match, the Rohit Sharma-led side won by 24 runs.
The Suryakumar-led side had won the Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE, where they were unbeaten. All eyes will be on India's star opener Abhishek Sharma, who was adjudged the player of the tournament award in the Asia Cup 2025.
Jasprit Bumrah's form will also be in focus, who gave the ODI series.
Players like Sanju Samson, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jitesh Sharma, and Rinku Singh are also part of the T20I team.
India’s T20I Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar.
