18:20 IST: Overall India have won 11 T20Is against Australia whereas Australia have managed to win just six times.
18:18 IST: India and Australia continue their cricketing rivalry as India host Australia. Virat Kohli and his men had a successful tour Down Under where they won the Test as well as the ODI series 2-1. The T20 International series ended 1-1.
18:15 IST:Â Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the first of the two-match T20I series between India and Australia in Visakhapatnam.
The likes of Rishabh Pant and all-rounder Vijay Shankar are aiming to make the final cut to the World Cup and the T20I series will go a long way in boosting their confidence. With Hardik Pandya out injured, it will be a great opportunity for Shankar to strengthen his case while Pant will also look to make the most of the chances he gets. For Dinesh Karthik, who was dropped from the ODI squad to play Australia, the two T20Is will be his last chance on the international stage to make a statement before the World Cup. Coming to India's bowling department, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is back after a break. Bumrah is two shy of his personal tally of 50 wickets in T20I cricket, an achievement only in possession of Ravichandran Ashwin. All eyes will be on rookie leg-break bowler Mayank Markande who could make his debut in international cricket.
