India would aim to win the second game of the five-match T20I series against Australia and take a 1-0 lead in the series after the first fixture between the two teams was called off due to rain in Canberra.
The onus will be on the opening pair of Abhishrk Sharma and vice captain Shubman Gill to get the team off to a good start while playing in their natural aggressive style in the first six overs.
In addition to laying a platform for the team, both Abhishek and Shubman would hope for the incoming batters to capitalize on it and help the team post an above-par total against a strong Australian batting lineup.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel
Other than captain Suryakumar Yadav, no other batter got the chance to bat in the series opener and would want to make up for it in the next game.
Although India is expected to go with an unchanged playing XI in the second fixture to be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, it would be interesting to see if the team management decides to bring in a bowler, keeping in mind the conditions.
When it comes to the bowling arsenal, it remained untested in the first T20I, and it would want to put on a spirited performance in the upcoming contest.
Other than Bumrah, the captain will have to decide who bowls from the other end, as there are a few options that Suryakumar Yadav can rely upon between Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Axar Patel.
As far as the second spin bowling option is concerned, the team will stick with Kuldeep Yadav, with Shivam Dube fulfilling the role of the sixth bowler to complete India's bowling attack.
