This player was out of the first match? (PC-PTI)
Team India, which lost the ODI series against Australia, now has a chance to show its strength in T20. This series is starting from 29th October. However, even before the start of this series, a bad news is coming out. There are reports that it is difficult for Indian all-rounder Nitish Reddy to play in the first match of the series. Nitish Reddy suffered a leg injury during the second ODI, due to which he was ruled out of the third ODI. Now it is almost certain that he will be out of the first T20 also.
The Indian team practiced in Canberra on Monday. The practice could last only for an hour because it rained heavily. Nitish Reddy was also present in this practice session although he did not look completely fit. The sports journalists present there claim that this player will hardly be able to play the first match. The good thing for Team India is that it has a good medium pacer all-rounder in the form of Shivam Dubey, who played an important role in making India the champion by performing well in the Asia Cup.
Talking about T20 cricket, the Indian team is very strong. This team has batsmen like Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Shubhman Gill. In bowling there are Arshdeep, Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty.
Australia also has no dearth of explosive players. Apart from Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Tim David, Josh Inglis, players like Marcus Stoinis are in this team. In bowling, there are good players like Hazlewood, Nathan Ellis, Kuhneman.
