HIGHLIGHTS of INDvsAUS 2nd T20I: Maxwell's 113* off 55 balls leads Australia to series win

Vice-captain Rohit Sharma has been rested and Dhawan comes in. Vijay Comes in for Mayank Markande and Siddharth Kaul replaces Umesh Yadav

After a thrilling roller-coaster ride in Vizag, India and Australia are set to lock horns in the series decider at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Wednesday. It’s high time for the men-in-blue as they have never lost a T20I series at home under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. As they have already stated that the momentum is intact, let’s hope for yet another electrifying encounter where the hosts manage to wrap up the last T20I series before World Cup on a winning note.

Coming to the toss, Australia have won it again and opted to field first with an unchanged playing XI.

“We are going to bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, so hopefully, we can chase this down. We back ourselves to chase the target down. If at all there is going to be anything for the pacers it is going to be up front, so would like to exploit that,” said Finch at the toss.

On the other hand, India have made three changes for the game. Vice-captain Rohit Sharma has been rested and Dhawan comes in. Vijay Shankar comes in for Mayank Markande and Siddharth Kaul replaces Umesh Yadav.

“We would have bowled first as well. Like Aaron said it's a good wicket. Looks like the old Bangalore wicket and that's a good sign. Looks like there has been a lot of hard work done to prepare and maintain the pitch. Shot selection was something we discussed. The bowling was outstanding. We need to get used to playing big games,” said Kohli.

Here're the playing XIs:

India: Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Vijay Shankar, Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni(w), Dinesh Karthik, Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Siddarth Kaul

Australia: D Arcy Short, Marcus Stoinis, Aaron Finch(c), Glenn Maxwell, Peter Handscomb(w), Ashton Turner, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson, Jason Behrendorff, Adam Zampa
