 "IND vs AUS 2nd T20I: Playing 11 probables, toss timing and latest team news")
The Indian team is under pressure for the first time in a home series under the captainship of Rohit Sharma. It was under Rishabh Pant’s captaincy that India lost back-to-back matches against South Africa in a five-match series in June. But under Rohit, it is the first time that India are trailing at home in a bilateral series.
Therefore, this match in Nagpur becomes a do-or-die game for India.
Here's how the Playing 11 of India and Australia would look like
India would look to play Jasprit Bumrah and would want him to perform as well. He would most likely come in place of Umesh Yadav as Bhuvneshwar Kumar, no matter how badly he performed in the last game, is part of India’s T20 World Cup plans and hence can’t be made to it out just yet. Umesh Yadav, the local boy would have to sit out most likely.
Australia on the other hand would play with the same team as it managed to chase down such a big total with it.
