IND vs. AUS: The Indian team will play a three-match T20 series against Australia starting on Tuesday, September 20. The first match of the series will be played at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. Before this game on Sunday, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma talked a lot with the media about the team combination in the press conference. Meanwhile, from the opening of Virat and Rahul to the return of Umesh Yadav in Shami’s place on the team, Rohit stood by him on many things. He recounted how Umesh got a place in India’s T20 team after three years.
Rohit Sharma said: “Prasidh Krishna is injured, Siraj (Mohammad Siraj) is playing county and Avesh Khan is sick. So Umesh Yadav got a place in the team. While he played brilliantly this year in IPL. We are aware of his skill and understanding, that’s why he’s back and he can use it for the team. It is worth noting that information came out on Saturday night that Mohammed Shami has been out of this series due to Corona.
Umesh returns after three years
Speaking of Umesh Yadav’s international T20 career, he has only played seven matches for the India team so far. He has taken 9 wickets at an average of 24.33 and economy of 8.76. Interestingly, Umesh also played his last international match against Australia. He had conceded many runs in this match played at Visakhapatnam on February 24, 2019 and failed to take a single wicket. He had spent 35 runs in four overs here. Australia won this match by three wickets.
Shami’s World Cup hopes may take a hit
Let us tell you that Mohammed Shami did not get a place in the 15-man squad of the upcoming T20 World Cup in India. But he was listed on the four-man reserve player roster. Shami had not found a place in India’s T20 squad since the T20 World Cup held in the United Arab Emirates in October-November last year. But before the T20 World Cup 2022, he was included in the main team of the series from Australia and South Africa. It was hoped that if he does well, he can be included in the main team before the World Cup. But now his hopes may be shattered. He has been ruled out of the Australian series. However, according to the report, he will be fit until the South Africa series which starts on September 28.
