High Risk - Good Returns

Shardul Thakur: Has picked up at least a wicket in each of his 7 T20Is played this year (Total 13 wickets)

Adam Zampa: He played well in the ODIs, but if he carries that momentum in the T20s, it will be good as in T20s he is struggling this year.

X-Factor Picks

D’Arcy Short: Scores of 40, 37 and 33 in his last 3 T20I matches (all are vs IND); he also had a phenomenal BBL 2019-20

Steve Smith: Will certainly look to carry his ODI form into the T20Is; the only time he batted at Canberra in a T20I, he scored 80* from 51 balls.

Shreyas Iyer: Has scores of 33*, 1, 17, 44 and 58* in his last 5 T20 internationals.

Hardik Pandya: He last played an international T20 in Sep 2019, but his recent exploits in the ODIs and IPL before that makes him an X-factor player.

Must Have

KL Rahul: He had an outstanding IPL; but before that his scores in T20Is this year read 45, 39, 27, 57*, 56, 54 and 45.

Glenn Maxwell: Scores of 113*, 56, 13, 19 and 46 against India in his last 5 T20Is; also had a great run in the ODIs.

Aaron Finch: Has scores of 39, 40, 46, 55, 14 and 42 in all T20 internationals played this year.

Ashton Agar: Has picked up 13 wickets in just 6 matches this year in T20Is; can be handy with the bat as well.

Virat Kohli: He averages 65 and has a SR of 147 against Australia in T20Is (584 runs in 15 innings vs AUS)

Jasprit Bumrah: He is with wickets in each of his7 T20Is played this year barring just one; he also had an outstanding IPL
