IND vs AUS, 2nd T20I: Will Jasprit Bumrah Be Part Of Playing XI?

The Indian team will be looking to bolster their bowling department by including Jasprit Bumrah in the playing XI and It will be interesting to see if Bumrah makes his comeback. 

India had a terrible run in the first T20 against Australia at Mohali. India got outplayed despite posting 209 runs on the board. Again the death bowling ultimately failed to live up to the expectations and Australia had a facile win. India will again be locking horns against the Kangaroos in the second T20 which will take place on Friday in Nagpur. The Indian team will be looking to bolster their bowling department by including Jasprit Bumrah in the playing XI and it will be interesting to see if he makes a comeback or not.

"Absolutely, he is ready, nothing to worry about", Suryakumar said on Bumrah. 

"Actually after the last game, we didn't have any discussion but as you have seen last day the match went on long and there was also dew, and you also have to give credit to them, they kept attacking, we are trying our best," he added. On the other hand, Aaron Finch's Australia would be looking to secure the three-match T20I series against India on Friday. 

He also spoke on Harshal Patel and stated, "Harshal's slower balls and his different variations are really deceptive and he has just come from an injury, so this much benefit of the doubt should be allowed."
