#3 Almost half of the Indian squad has never played an international match in Australia
If we have a closer look at the Indian T20I squad, you can see that players like Khaleel Ahmed, Y Chahal, S Iyer, Krunal Pandya, R Pant, W Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav have never played an international match in Australia. Though some of the players have played in Australia for India 'A', the pressure of an international match is completely different. These young batsmen will be tested in the bigger grounds of Australia.
While, it would be a great opportunity for the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, K Ahmed and Yuzvendra Chahal to impress the selectors in the T20I series as the next ICC WT20 (though it is 2 years away) is set to be held in Australia. But, in the current series, their inexperience could hurt India's chances of winning.
