3 Players To Watch In IND vs AUS 4th T20I: India went 2-0 up with wins in Visakhapatnam and Thiruvananthapuram before a Glenn Maxwell storm in Guwahati helped Australia remain alive in the series.
The series has been a high-scoring one so far, with 5 of the 6 innings being over 200 runs and the only other under-200 score was 191. Among the bowlers who have played in at least two games in this series, the third-best economy rate is 9 runs per over. This tells you how difficult it has been for the bowlers to contain runs or take wickets, as the dew has played a significant role.
The same treatment of the bowlers is expected in the 4th T20I, which will be played on Friday in Raipur, another venue where dew has an effect on the game.
There are some changes bound for both teams. Six of Australia’s squad members have left for home to rest after a long World Cup. This gives an opportunity to a number of fringe players. For India, Shreyas Iyer will make his first impact on the series, and Mukesh Kumar is back after missing the 3rd T20I for his marriage.
3 Players To Watch In IND vs AUS 4th T20I:
Chris Green
Off-spinner Chris Green is likely to make his T20I debut in Raipur against India. The 30-year-old from New South Wales is a T20 specialist spinner and has already featured in 190 T20 matches in various leagues across the world.
Chris Green has played for over a dozen teams in his career. His economy of 6.98 stands out, given that he bowls regularly in the powerplay as well to target the opposition left-handers in the top order.
Shreyas Iyer
According to the Three players to watch in 4th T20I India vs Australia, Shreyas Iyer is likely to replace Tilak Varma in India’s playing XI today. While Iyer has cemented his place in India’s ODI side, he is one of the fringe players in India’s T20I squad.
His last T20 match came a year ago. He missed out on plenty of action this year, including the IPL 2023, due to a back injury. The two matches in this series, and if picked, the 3 T20Is in South Africa next month, along with the IPL 2024, will give Iyer ample games to lay his claim for a spot in next year’s T20 World Cup squad.
Axar Patel
As per the 3 Players To Watch In IND vs AUS 4th T20I, Axar Patel has the second-best economy and the best among the Indian bowlers in the series so far. In a series where the bowlers have had no place to hide, Axar has conceded runs at only 7.83 runs per over, even while bowling a couple of overs in the death.
Axar has long been the understudy of Ravindra Jadeja in the Indian team. But in T20Is, Axar’s game is as good – his batting can be argued to be even better – as Jadeja’s.
