India vs Australia 2019: India's strongest XI for T20I series

Bowlers: Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal

Fast, hostile and intimidating, Umesh Yadav has been looked upon as one of India's most promising pace bowlers. Unfortunately, as many fans would know, the Indian cricketer has been plagued by inconsistency to find himself in and out of the team on a regular basis.

However, despite being "not-so-impressive" post-IPL 2018, the selectors have reposed their faith in Yadav, thanks to his memorable performance in the recently concluded Ranji Trophy. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar being rested for the T20I series, the experienced bowler once again gets a chance to hit the mark and he wouldn't want to disappoint.

Now that Kuldeep Yadav has been rested, leg-break talent, Yuzvendra Chahal would spearhead the spin-attack for India in the upcoming T20I series against Australia. A wily spin bowler who has been outfoxing batsmen all over, Chahal would pose as one of Australia's bigger threats, given their vulnerability to spin bowling.

India's pace sensation, Jasprit Bumrah returns to the squad after receiving a much-needed break. From picking up crucial wickets to tightening the screws in the death overs, Bumrah has been India's go-to man in the past few years. The fast-bowler would be raring to go ahead of the World Cup and gain some match-practice before flaunting his skills in England this May.
