New Delhi, Oct 27 – Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav’s side kicked off a fresh T20I series in Canberra with new energy after a shaky ODI run. The match‑day at Manuka Oval began bright and sunny, giving the team a chance to refocus before the five‑game series against Australia starts on Wednesday.
The morning session was a blend of hard drills and cool‑down stretches. Head coach Gautam Gambhir watched closely, sharing tactics and keeping the squad locked on their game plan. It was a clear signal that India is ready to reset and shine in the shorter format.
India’s lineup mixes bright newcomers with tried‑and‑true stars. With Yadav leading the charge, players like Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah are expected to drive the attack, while spin duo Umesh Yadav and Kuldeep Kumar will try to control the middle overs. The team aims to prove that their fearless brand of T20 cricket is still alive and well.
Australia, guided by captain Mitchell Marsh, is coming in with momentum from their ODI success. They want that confidence to carry into the T20s, setting the tone in the lead‑up to the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup. Both sides view these games as pivotal for fine‑tuning strategy and player roles.
All five T20Is will kick off at 1:45 PM IST, with the toss just 30 minutes before kickoff. Fans can expect lots of excitement as India and Australia battle it out on the pitch, each hoping to secure early momentum in a high‑stakes series.
