While the first match of the series will be played in Mohali, the second and third T20Is will be played in Nagpur and Hyderabad, respectively.

India will look for a better performance in the series as they failed to impress in the recently-concluded Asia Cup. They started the tournament as favourites but they lost to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage to eventually get knocked out of the competition.

However, for Kohli, the tournament proved to be a big boost as the player ended as the second-highest run-getter with 276 runs to his credit from 5 games. He was only behind Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan, who scored 281 across 6 matches. Meanwhile, Kohli had an astonishing average of 92.00 in the tournament and his strike rate was 147.59.

Promoted

What would have given Kohli and his fans the much-needed relief was his 71st international century – a ton that came after the gap of almost three years. Kohli had scored 122 not out against Afghanistan in the Super 4 stage.

Talking about Australia, they will be high on confidence after clean sweeping New Zealand 3-0 in ODI series that concluded on September 11.
