India lost the three-match ODI series 1-2. The Men in Blue will be keen to bounce back in the upcoming T20I series. When they played a series in the format the last time in Australia in 2020/21, the visitors won 2-1.

The second T20I will be played in Melbourne, while the third will take place in Hobart. Gold Coast will host the fourth game, while the final match will be played in Brisbane.

India will hope for Suryakumar Yadav to fire in the T20I series

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav's form could be an issue of slight concern for the Indian team heading into the T20Is. The star batter has struggled to score consistently in recent times.

While he led the Men in Blue to victory at the Asia Cup 2025, he did not have a great tournament with the bat. He made just 72 runs from six innings at an average of 18 and a strike-rate of 101.40.

Suryakumar has played six T20Is in Australia so far. He has scored 239 runs at an average of 59.75 and a strike-rate of 189.68 with three half-centuries. The skipper will be eager to get among the runs and fire this time around as well.

Overall, he has featured in 90 T20Is, piling on 2670 runs at an average of 37.08 and a strike-rate of 164.20 with four hundreds and 21 half-centuries.
