India are gearing up to take on Australia in the fourth T20I match of the ongoing five-match series on Friday at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur. India are leading the series 2-1 as they only need one win to secure the series. Australia got back into the series on the back of their victory in the third match where Maxwell has starred with the bat to take Australia over the line. Maxwell had played a brilliant knock of 104* to help Australia chase the 223-run target. Heading into the fourth match, India will be solidified by the availability of Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar who both have joined the team for the fourth match. Talking about the performance, India have been incredibly sensational in their batting attack while amassing more than 200 runs in the last three matches. India will have a further boost in their batting order with the return of Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas Iyer will be in action on the back of a marvellous outing in the World Cup where he scored more than 500 runs. India’s bowling unit will also see some boost with the presence of Deepak Chahar. Mukesh Kumar also returns after missing the third game. For Australia, they will be with a complete different team with Maxwell, Steve Smith and Adam Zampa retuning back home. Australia would hope for Travis Head to continue with his rich form to support them in the batting department. Australia, meanwhile, will need a victory to level the series. 

India probable XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Kumar

Australia probable XI: Aaron Hardie, Travis Head, Matthew Short, Ben McDermott, Tim David, Matthew Wade (c&wk), Chris Green, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Jason Behrendorff, Tanveer Sangha
