All eyes are on Tim David as the big-hitter gears up for his maiden series in Australia colours in a three-match T20I contest in India, starting on Tuesday. The Aaron Finch-led team is looking to cash in on his big-hitting finishing abilities when they defend their T20 World Cup title at home from next month. David, 26, made his T20I debut for Singapore in 2019 and has played 14 matches, scoring 558 runs at a strike rate of 158.52. He also impressed in patches for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2022.
India and Australia are all geared up for the upcoming three-match T20I series, starting from September 20 in Mohali. With the Indian side featuring the likes of skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah among others, the Australian team also has some superstars in their ranks like Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Pat Cummins and Steve Smith. The Aaron Finch led-team is all set to give a tough fight to the hosts, ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. On Monday, both the teams went to sweat it out in the practice ground and what caught everyone's attention was the all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, playing left-handed shots.
The T20 World Cup is just a month away and both India and Australia will try to find their best possible XI heading into the marquee event. Both the teams will square off in the first T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel are back in the squad for India after recovering from their respective injuries while Australia will look to hand a debut T20I cap to big-hitting Tim David. It would be interesting to see how the likes of Virat Kohli and Steve Smith perform for their sides.
Aaron Finch finds Twenty20 cricket "exciting" and has no immediate plans to quit the format, the 35-year-old said ahead of their three-match series against India on Monday.
