India's predicted XI for the third T20I against Australia

Wicketkeeper:

Rishabh Pant

Australia v India - T20

Rishabh Pant failed to seal the first T20I in India's favour, in spite of scoring 20 runs from 15 balls. He will definitely have to up his game and improve his glove-work as he dropped D'Arcy Short in the second T20I off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's bowling.

He should also try to utilize the role of wicket-keeper batsman to the maximum at the expense of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

All-rounder:

Krunal Pandya

Australia v India - T20

Despite being hammered away for 55 runs in 4 overs in the first encounter, India's persistence with Krunal Pandya for the second T20I reaped benefits as he conceded just 26 runs from his 4 overs while also dismissing the dangerous Glenn Maxwell.

On the spin-friendly track at Sydney Cricket Ground, his four overs will come into good use and he could surely take a wicket or two. Krunal Pandya also needs to perform with the bat to cement his place for the upcoming tournaments.
