4 reasons which make India start favorites against Australia for the T20Is

#3 Experienced Death Bowlers

Bhuvi and Bumrah: India's trusted death bowling pair

Death bowling has a major impact on T20 cricket. It can make or break a game. When power hitters go hammers and tongs, you should have the right temperament to keep them under check and use your variations smartly to get on top of them.

India have Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, two of the very best when it comes to death bowling. They have had enough experience in IPL playing for Mumbai and Hyderabad, where they face some of the world's fiercest hitters.

Bumrah and Bhuvi have bowled well in the death overs for India. Bumrah has a lethal yorker and a well disguised slower one which is hard to pick. He can be termed as India's yorker machine, as he can dish out yorkers day in day out.

Bhuvi too has a good yorker and a knuckleball which is bowled at a considerably lower speed. They have formed a good partnership and have the lowest economy rate during the death overs amongst the top nations.

#4 Knowledge Of Conditions

When India toured Australia in early 2016, India triumphed in the T20 series 3-0. Virat Kohli was the Man of the series and Rohit Sharma played exceptionally well. Shikhar Dhawan chipped in and Suresh Raina provided the finishing touches. Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, they two debutantes had impressive debuts in Australia.

Most of the current set of players from India have played in Australia before and they have performed really well. This should bode well for the team and they will definitely start as favourites as the current Australian team is undergoing a major transformation.
