India vs Australia 2017: India's probable XI for third T20

Bhuvneshwar has been on song in the powerplays

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The new and improved Bhuvi has been on fire, cranking up some serious pace with subtle movement to become a vital part of India’s team in white ball cricket. His control over the new ball helps him hit the perfect spots, often fooling the batsman into a false stroke in the powerplays.

He returns to the venue where he has bowled several match-winning spells for SRH, and would be hoping to do an encore with the India jersey on.

Kuldeep Yadav

There is still work to be done, but Kuldeep Yadav is taking giant strides in international cricket with his left-arm leg spin, earning loads of followers with every spell of his. A canny bowler who believes in outwitting the batsman with variations, Kuldeep, who by his own admission is ‘not a mystery bowler’, has been India’s X-factor in recent times.

In a decider like this, his sharply turning deliveries could remind the Australians of the first T20I, where the stumbled to the guile of the Indian spin attack, looking completely clueless.
