Fast bowlers
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed
After a mediocre ODI series and missing out in the first T20, Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a comeback of sorts with a tight spell in the second T20 at Lucknow. He bowled the knuckleballs to good effect and picked up a couple of wickets. Bhuvi will want to build a momentum going into the Australian series. Also, Jasprit Bumrah might be rested for the final T20. Bumrah has been India's premier bowler across formats and the Indian think-tank might want to keep him fresh and fit for the long tour of Australia. Bhuvi will have the extra responsibility of leading the bowling attack in the absence of Bumrah.
Khaleel Ahmed will look to extend his purple patch in international cricket. The left-arm seamer has impressed everyone with his swing and pace and will want to finish the series on a high with a strong performance at Chennai.
