The blues will aim to raise the bar and force the hosts to lose another game after convincingly dominating the first T20I. Skipper\u00a0Rohit Sharma appears to lead from the front as both his on-field leadership and his bat speak volumes about his all-around play.<\/p>\n
Expectations might be high for Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya, who failed to perform in the first T20I, and considering the fact that Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and even Deepak Hooda await their call in the playing XI, it is a must-perform game for the duo (Hardik and Shreyas).<\/p>\n
Arshdeep Singh is a fresh face for the blues\u2019 bowling unit, and his contributions with the ball may put pressure on the selectors to give him a spot on Australia\u2019s trip for the ICC T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n
Ravichandran Ashwin, the experimental spinner\u2019s return in the league\u2019s shortest format has been a good voyage, and with the T20 World Cup and Asia Cup approaching on the calendar, the spinner might have availability for himself.<\/p>\n
