India win toss, elect to bowl vs Australia

November 21, 2018 13:00

India captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bowl against Australia in the T20I series opener.

Kohli is back to lead the team after missing the three-match T20I series against West Indies.

Kuldeep Yadav is the lone spinner as India go in with three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed.

The batting line-up looks quite formidable as Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan open the batting followed by Kohli at No. 3.

KL Rahul manages to retain his place despite an inconsistent run recently followed by Rishabh Pant at No. 5 and Dinesh Karthik playing the finisher's role at 6.

Krunal Pandya retains his place as the second spinner, while also being able to contribute with the bat.
