Bowlers
Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav has been India’s ace spinner for some time now in limited overs cricket. The chinaman also became the leading wicket-taker after first 15 T20I's overtaking Ajanta Mendis.
He took 2 crucial wickets in the first T20I giving away only 24 runs in his full quota of overs. He is a definite starter for the second T20I.
Yuzvendra Chahal

India might have missed a trick in not picking up Yuzvendra Chahal for the first T20I. The ace leg-spinner was dropped in place of Khaleel Ahmed who was all at seas playing his first T20I in Australia.
Chahal should be picked up for the second T20I as he has a good record against the Aussies and could provide some good middle overs which India missed in the first T20I.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvi did no wrong in the first T20I. He bowled good line and lengths upfront and gave away only 15 runs in the three overs that he bowled in the power play. He is pivotal to India’s chances alongside his pace partner Jasprit Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah, the current best bowler in the world, picks himself in any limited overs side in the world. He bowled up to his expectations in the first T20I giving away just 21 runs in the 3 overs he bowled, picking up the important wicket of Glenn Maxwell.
