Australia will square off against India in the fourth T20I at the Carrara Oval, Queensland on Thursday. India were able to bounce back in the third T20I as they registered a five-wicket win at Hobart. Arshdeep Sing, Varun Chakravarthy and Washington Sundar had played a key role in India’s much-needed win.
Meanwhile, barring the first T20I, Shubman Gill hasn’t looked at his usual best on the Australian tour. Gill had managed only 43 runs in three ODIs and he has returned with scores of 37, 5, and 15 in the ongoing T20I series against the hosts.
India has been juggling with their playing combination to be ready for the T20 World Cup and the players would want to grab their opportunities with both hands.
