Australia vs India 2018-19: Five players to watch out for in the T20I series

#1 Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya made use of the opportunity in the T20 series against West Indies

Krunal Pandya is one of the hottest names in the IPL and one of the most consistent and reliable all-rounders in world cricket today.

He has played a lot of invaluable knocks in the domestic circuit and was also Baroda's leading run-getter and wicket-taker in 2016-17 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He finished up with 366 runs in 8 matches and also picked up 8 wickets in the tournament. After a long wait, he was finally named in India's T20 squad against West Indies and Australia.

Krunal made his international debut against West Indies in the first T20 and lived up to the hype. He finished with figures of 4-0-15-1 in the bowling department. While chasing a paltry total of 110, he scored quick-fire 21 off 9 deliveries, accompanied by 3 fours and took India home.

It will be really interesting to see what he does in the series against Australia with his all-round skills.
