Australia will be bowling in the first T20 International against India here Sunday with rookie leg-spinner Mayank Markande set for international debut.

With an aim to give game time to some of the fringe players for the World Cup, India will have opener KL Rahul back in the playing XI in place of Shikhar Dhawan.

Markande has been inducted into playing XI in place of all-rounder Vijay Shankar while Umesh Yadav replaced Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the side that played final T20 against New Zealand.

For Australia, Peter Handscomb makes his debut in shortest format and will also keep wickets.
