India vs Australia: Aaron Finch Confident of Nullifying Threat of Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina

Upbeat after convincingly taking the ODI series, Australia's Twenty20 skipper Aaron Finch is confident that the hosts can handle the more experienced Indian reinforcements in Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina that arrived for the three-match T20 series starting on Tuesday.

Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina were left out of the five-match ODI series against Australia that India lost 4-1. The experienced duo will be raring to seal a berth in the Twenty20 squad with the T20 World Cup - to be held in India - around the corner.

India saved their number 2 rankings in the ODIs by winning the fifth and final match in Sydney and oif they manage to beat Australia 3-0 in the T20 series, they would go to top in the ICC T20 rankings for teams.

"India have brought in a lot of experienced players, which I think leading up to a world tournament in a couple of months is about trying everyone possible," said Finch. (IPL 2016 Auction: Yuvraj Singh, Kevin Pietersen in Rs 2-Crore Pool)

"We'll have some individual plans for guys like Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina. It's just important that our guys with the ball have got to execute plans as well as you can. If they're just hitting the good balls, that's not a problem."

"When you've got a group of senior players, it's brings quite a calmness to the group. There tends to be less panic in the dressing room. If you've a lot of youngsters, everyone's on edge. Whereas the senior players know how the games go. If they're still the best players regardless of their age, you just pick them," he added.

Problem of Plenty for Australia

Australia will have their own hands full as the T20I side takes new shape. Usman Khawaja has been neglected once again, much to everyone's surprise, but the new names coming in have impressed in the recently concluded Big Bash League.

So this will be a test for them as well, considering that spots are up for grabs for the World T20.

"Usman's been in great form. He's been performing at all levels and across all formats. The good thing is who don't you bring into the side? I think it's good pressure to have that in your squad. I think as soon as you're trying to fill holes with bits and pieces players, that's when you're under pressure as a team.

"The luxury we have at the moment is that there are some outstanding players not playing and sitting on the sidelines. I think that shows how healthy the batting for Australia is at the moment," he said.

While the batting looks good on paper, Australia may experiment with their spin options as well as the younger pace bowlers. For the first time in this series, though, they will have some pace experience as Shaun Tait returns after an absence of five years from the international arena.

"In T20, and in ODI cricket, if you don't take wickets with the new ball, it puts so much pressure on the others because it is so hard to contain good batting line-ups on flat wickets through the middle overs. Where Australia have been good over the while is we've been able to take early wickets," said Finch.
