 "India vs Australia 2nd T20 Playing 11, live streaming, match timings")
India are taking the field for the second T20I against Australia at the massive MCG in Melbourne today brimming with confidence, buoyed by the emergence of young talent and the resurgence of captain Suryakumar Yadav. Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh won the toss and invited Suryakumar-led India to bat first.
Players like Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Shivam Dube have made waves with their explosive T20 batting, bringing power and aggression to the line-up. Until recently, however, India had been waiting for their skipper to deliver big scores consistently. In the series opener, Suryakumar answered that call with a quickfire 39 off 24 balls, including a towering 125-metre six off Josh Hazlewood, showcasing his return to form.
Rain cut short the opener in Canberra, leaving India well-placed at 97/1 after 9.4 overs, with Suryakumar and Shubman Gill looking in fine touch and poised to dominate the Australian attack. While forecasts suggest rain in Melbourne, India will aim to resume where they left off, focusing on building momentum and capitalizing on their strong start in the abandoned first match.
