The T20I series between India and Australia commences today, just four days after the two teams faced each other in the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup final.
The first T20I is set to kick off at 7 PM tonight in Visakhapatnam.
Notably, several key players from both teams will not be participating in this series.
Suryakumar Yadav leads the Indian team, while Matthew Wade captains the Australian team.
The BCCI has appointed Ruturaj Gaikwad as the vice-captain, but Shreyas Iyer will take over the role for the last two T20I matches.
Unfortunately, Australian players such as David Warner, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green, and Mitchell Marsh will not be partaking in this tournament.
However, seven players who played in the World Cup have been included in the T20I squad against India.
