With the chance to seal the series, India lost the toss and was thrown in to bat first. However, the interesting thing is that India has made important changes for the IND vs AUS 3rd T20 in Guwahati. The most economical Indian pacer in the series, Mukesh Kumar, has been left out to everyone’s surprise.

When asked about India’s playing XI at the toss, skipper Suryakumar Yadav said that Avesh Khan is replacing Mukesh. Surya added that instead of playing in the IND vs AUS match, Mukesh is currently playing his biggest game, i.e., the pacer is getting married.

“One change for us: Avesh replaces Mukesh, who is playing his biggest game; he’s getting married, and we wish him all the best,” Surya said at the toss.
