India's predicted T20I squad to face Australia

Fast bowlers

South Africa v India - T20 International

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Recovered from his back injury, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, India's spearhead, would be aiming to make an impact in Australia and create the necessary opportunities for India early with his accuracy and movement.

His batting down the order is also a useful attribute.

Jasprit Bumrah

No India bowler has created as big an imprint as Bumrah in the last two years - the quirky bowling style and the dead accurate yorkers are his USP, and he is making sure to improve on them with every passing series and become a much more accomplished bowler.

He would be vital for India in the death overs.

Khaleel Ahmed

One from the batch of U19 players that played under Ishan Kishan, Khaleel has impressed one and all with his raw pace and has risen up the ranks quickly. He got his India cap in the Asia Cup and was also included for the West Indies ODI series.

Given that a left-arm pacer lends balance to the Indian attack, he could be in for a long run.

Umesh Yadav

He recently made a return to the limited-overs setup and while he has gone for a lot of runs, he also possesses the ability to pick up wickets upfront. Given that India have Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh could be included as the third seamer if India decides to go for an extra pacer on fast-paced wickets.
