Australia vs India 2018-19: 5 players for whom the T20I series is important

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is arguably one of the destructive batsmen Australia have ever produced in the history of cricket. He could hit the sixes with the ease and also an athletic fielder. He is a kind of player who can change the course of the game in the span of a few deliveries. However, his recent form in the limited-overs cricket has dipped out.

So far in 2018, he has scored 424 runs in 15 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. He should make a mark in the T20I series against India to secure his place.

He is facing a lot of criticisms for his recent form in the limited-overs format. The T20I series against India 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.
