AUS vs IND dream11 team for today’s match
There were several strong performers in the first game. Lets take a look at the players who can fetch good amount of points for the fantasy leagues in AUS vs IND dream11 prediction section
KL Rahul: This format is his forte. He played a decent innings in the 1st game. Though, he scored 51 in the first game, he took a good chunk of 40 balls for it. He would like to improve the strike rate in this game because he is completely capable of it.
Aaron Finch: He threatened to take the game away from India in the first game with a solid 26 ball 36 run knock but it was cut short by Yuzvendra Chahal. With series on the line, one can expect Aaron Finch to go big.
Virat Kohli: There is no doubt that he has been going through a rough patch but one cannot doubt his abilities and hunger to score runs in the big stage. India badly needs a typical Virat Kohli kind of innings and that day is not far away.
Steve Smith: He found his hands in the ODIs and gave the impression that he lost them in the first T20I. He is too good a player to miss out on the kind of form he is in at the moment. He can be a handy pick as well.
Other picks: Yuzvendra Chahal, Josh Hazlewood, T Natarajan, and Adam Zampa can all be valuable picks.
Today match score: Team batting first will be aiming to post around 170
