IND vs AUS 5th T20I Playing XI: India is set to play the fifth and final T20I against Australia in Brisbane today. Having already secured an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series, the Men in Blue will be hoping for another overseas series win.
India Probable XI for 5th T20I
To finish the tour of Australia with authority, India will have to look to overcome batting inconsistencies. India may thus consider changes to their lineup for this match. The team management might opt to bring Sanju Samson back into the squad, as he has not featured since the second match. This could be in place of Jitesh Sharma, who scored 22 and 3 in the third and fourth matches respectively.

The team management may also consider giving opportunities to Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh to ensure they remain match-fit. This could mean Washington Sundar and Shivam Dube might be rested for the final game.
With upcoming series against South Africa, the team might also rest some key players. According to reports, Jasprit Bumrah might thus be rested ahead of the South Africa series with Harshit Rana potentially taking his place.

Australia is expected to maintain a similar squad, possibly including Ben Dwarshuis and Glenn Maxwell. Notably, Dwarshuis went wickteless in last match but he might be retained considering Gabba's traditional preference for seam bowlers over spinners. Glenn Maxwell, who returned to the team in the fourth T20I, is also likely to retain his position in the fifth and final match in Brisbane.
