The T20I series is of tremendous significance to both India and Australia, as the no.1 and no.2 teams in the ICC T20I rankings face off in what will act as a major preparation for the T20 World Cup 2026 which is set to take place in February-March.
India will be boosted by the return of Jaspreet Bumrah, who was rested in the ODI series.
