By their high standards, Australia has underachieved at the five World T20s held before this current edition in India. The fact that this event, which gets underway for Australia on March 18 against New Zealand, is the only major piece of cricketing silverware that they’ve yet to win has been well-documented. Australia still remains one of the favourites to win it this time. The team recently beat South Africa in an away T20I series and got the much-needed confidence and momentum ahead of the global event. Here’s a look at 5 Aussies who make a huge impact for their team in India.

David Warner these days bats at number 3 for the Aussies in the shortest format. Such is the strength of their batting lineup that as many as four guys are competing for the opening spot. Warner is a massive hitter of the ball and well versed with Indian conditions being a regular feature of the IPL like many of his teammates.  He recently played a cracking knock with Glenn Maxwell, against South Africa when they were struggling at 32-3 and guided the team in a massive run-chase. His 57 T20I innings have produced 1595 runs at an average of 29.53 and a belligerent strike rate of 140.77. This includes a top score of 90 not out and 12 fifties. He is the leading run-scorer for the Aussies in this format.

The Australian all-rounder loves to take on the bowlers. He is unpredictable and inconsistent yet no one can doubt his match-winning ability. Maxwell can strike big and has all the shots in his kitty. He can frustrate the bowlers and force them into bowling lengths they usually wouldn’t. The Aussies have never won a WorldT20 and much will drought depend on this man’s form if they are to end their drought. Maxwell is a brilliant fielder and also a useful off-spin bowler. His 30 T20I appearances have produced 502 runs including 2 fifties and 15 wickets.

The tall all-rounder who idolised Steve Waugh and Jacques Kallis, Mitchell Marsh was earmarked for higher honours ever since he captained the Australia Under-19s to victory in the 2010 World Cup in New Zealand. Marsh is a fine seam bowler and a massive striker of the ball. His 5 T20Is have produced 97 runs and 2 wickets. He has played 52 T20s and scored 1067 runs taken 31 wickets. He has only recently become a regular member of the national side and will look to cement his place in the team. Marsh will give his skipper plenty of options being a top-class all-rounder.

He now plays for the Melbourne Stars and his performances have been impressive. He has 28 wickets from as many T20 matches. His 2 T20Is haven’t produced any wickets however he has bowled economically conceding at 6.12 runs per over.

At the crease, Watson is an aggressive brute with a broad chest, a right-handed disciple of Matthew Hayden, and someone who often doesn’t need to follow-through to gain a boundary. However, his drives and pulls are delivered in a much smoother style. He has always been a dangerous striker in the shorter formats. As a bowler, Watson has a knack of picking up wickets at crucial times. He has played 54 T20s scoring 1366 runs and taken 43 wickets. The all-rounder is the second highest run-scorer and the leading wicket-taker for the Aussies in this format.
