India&#8217;s tour of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/australia-vs-india-t20i-series-india-predicted-xi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a> begins on November 21 at Brisbane with the three-match T20I series which will be followed by four Tests and three ODIs. In the absence of Steve Smith and David Warner, Australia has been handicapped as the team is struggling to find their rhythm and the right team combination. This gives Virat Kohli-led India an edge over the hosts and the tag of favourites to win the series.

Team India has been in phenomenal form recently in the T20I format with series wins against South Africa, Ireland, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sri-lanka-vs-england-2018-2nd-test-statistical-highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a>, and Windies. Australia, on the other hand, are struggling to win its games at home as well as away. They were whitewashed in the three-match T20I series recently against Pakistan in UAE and lost to Proteas in a lone T20 clash at home.

While the upcoming T20I series is important for both the teams, it is more essential for some individual players who have to perform well in order to stay in their respective teams. Here, in this article, we are going to take a look at the players to watch out for in the upcoming India Australia T20 series.

Glenn Maxwell has the reputation of tearing apart any bowling line-up in the world. He is arguably the most destructive batsman in the world capable of changing the course of the game in a span of a few deliveries. However, the 30-year-old has been struggling for form recently due to which he is facing a lot of criticism in limited overs format.

So far in 2018, the all-rounder has scored 462 runs in 16 games that he played at an average of 42 and at a massive strike-rate of 150. He could score just 2 fifties (one against Zimbabwe and one against Pakistan) in his last 12 T20I innings. The T20I series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/vvs-laxman-heaps-praises-on-the-indian-eves-after-they-demolish-australia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> is a chance for him to not only justify his spot but also cement his place in the ODI team ahead of the 2019 World Cup.

Rahul had a great Indian Premier League (IPL) season with Kings XI Punjab in 2018, scoring runs at will. Since then, the Karnataka-born cricketer has become a regular feature in India&#8217;s limited overs side. In 2018, Rahul had a decent outing so far in Indian colours in the shortest format of the game with a century and a couple of the fifties to his name. However, Rahul didn&#8217;t have a great outing in the recently concluded series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bangladesh-vs-windies-shakib-al-hasan-returns-to-lead-hosts-in-the-opening-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Windies</a>.

He managed to score just 59 runs in three matches played. Also, his flaw against the incoming deliveries was discovered which led to the decline in his form recently. The opening slots already being taken up, Rahul has to perform exceptionally well in order to cement his place at number four. There is tough competition for the slot, so the right-hander has to score big runs in the three-match T20I series against the Kangaroos to cement his place.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-281155" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Khaleel-Ahmed-2.jpg" alt="Khaleel Ahmed" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-281155" class="wp-caption-text">Khaleel Ahmed. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

The young Khaleel Ahmed recently made his international debut in the Asia Cup 2018 which the Indian team won for a record, extending the seventh time. The 20-year-old impressed everybody in his debut match against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/icc-suspends-three-hong-kong-players-for-breaching-anti-corruption-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hong Kong</a> by picking up wickets at crucial times of the encounter. His performances in the ODI series earned him a place in the T20I series against Windies.

The left-arm fast bowler picked up 3 wickets in 2 matches he played against Windies. He showed some good variations in the bowling by mixing up his deliveries very well. The T20I series against Australia would be crucial for the young bowler as its going to test his skills and mental toughness. This will be his first overseas series, so the Rajasthan born bowler has a good opportunity to make it count and earn a call for the 2019 World Cup.

The elder of the Pandya brothers, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/spinner-krunal-pandya-surprises-everyone-with-a-vicious-bouncer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Krunal Pandya</a>, made his debut for Mumbai Indians in the 2016 IPL and since then he never looked back. Krunal, along with his brother Hardik, is the crucial member of the Mumbai Indians outfit. The left-handed batsman helped Mumbai Indians win its third IPL title in 2017 by scoring crucial 47 runs in the final to take his team to a decent target in a low scoring game against Rising Pune Supergiant.

His heroics with the franchise has helped him earn a call in the Indian T20I squad. The Baroda born cricketer made his debut against the Windies and scored a 21 not out in the only match he batted out of three. He is a street-smart cricketer with unorthodox batting style along with exceptional fielding skills.

The 27-year-old can also be a handy left-arm bowler if needed. Krunal has to make the T20I series against Australia count both with bat and ball if he wants to cement his place. Also, it may also help him earn a call in the ODI squad to replace <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stats-ravindra-jadeja-and-his-love-for-big-hundreds-in-first-class-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravindra Jadeja</a> who has struggled in close matches for India with the bat.

D&#8217;Arcy Short came to limelight in 2017 BBL (Big Bash League) season in which he scored 572 runs for Hobart Hurricanes that saw him earn the Player of the Tournament award. Short, since then, has been the favourite pick for the T20 leagues with Rajasthan Royals bagging him for a whopping 4 crores in 2018 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-3-teams-that-could-change-their-captains/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a>. He also earned a call from Australian cricket team after the exceptional BBL season. Short had a decent outing in T20I cricket scoring 461 runs in 15 matches at an average of 35.46.

However, his poor performance in the 50-overs format might lead to his axing from the struggling Australian ODI squad. However, if he performs well in the T20I series against India, he might retain his place in the ODI squad and ultimately end up getting a call for the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ab-de-villiers-names-the-favourites-for-the-2019-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a>. So, the T20I series against India is very crucial the left-hander who can secure his place in the handicapped Australian ODI team based on his performances in the T20 series.

The 27-year-old can also be a handy left-arm bowler if needed. Krunal has to make the T20I series against Australia count both with bat and ball if he wants to cement his place. Also, it may also help him earn a call in the ODI squad to replace <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stats-ravindra-jadeja-and-his-love-for-big-hundreds-in-first-class-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravindra Jadeja</a> who has struggled in close matches for India with the bat.

D&#8217;Arcy Short came to limelight in 2017 BBL (Big Bash League) season in which he scored 572 runs for Hobart Hurricanes that saw him earn the Player of the Tournament award. Short, since then, has been the favourite pick for the T20 leagues with Rajasthan Royals bagging him for a whopping 4 crores in 2018 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-3-teams-that-could-change-their-captains/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a>. He also earned a call from Australian cricket team after the exceptional BBL season. Short had a decent outing in T20I cricket scoring 461 runs in 15 matches at an average of 35.46.
However, his poor performance in the 50-overs format might lead to his axing from the struggling Australian ODI squad.
