India vs Australia 2nd T20 playing 11 prediction
 
India would have retained its winning combination in the second T20 but Ravindra Jadeja, who got hit on helmet and also suffered hamstring injury, has been ruled of the white ball series and BCCI named Shardul Thakur as his replacement. This would force coach Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli to rejig the playing 11 for the second T20 to maintain the balance of the side. Also, India’s first practice game is coinciding with T20 matches and team management need to release the players who would be part of Test series, starting December 17. 

India tentative playing 11: KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, T Natarajan, Jasprit Bumrah/Yuzvendra Chahal.

Australia, on the other hand, has been suffering from injury of its key players and latest addition to the list were captain Aaron Finch (hip/buttock region), Ashton Agar (calf). Meanwhile, Australian team management has released all-rounder Cameron Green for the India A vs Australia A practice game and Nathon Lyon replaced him in Australia T20I squad.
