India Predicted XI vs Australia, 4th T20I: Will Management Persist With Prasidh Krishna?

India will be up against Australia in the fourth T20I of the Australia tour of India, 5 T20I Series 2023, on Friday, December 1 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur, India. The match is set to commence at 7:00 PM IST. Team India's two-match winning streak came to an end with a five-wicket loss in the third T20I at Guwahati. Opener Ruturaj Gaikwad's scintillating century went in vain as the Indian bowlers struggled to defend a total of 222.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell's explosive 48-ball 104 helped Australia stay alive in the series ahead of the final two T20Is. As they head into the fourth T20I, the team will be bolstered by the inclusion of Shreyas Iyer and pacer Deepak Chahar in the squad.

Here is India's predicted XI for the fourth T20I:

Openers: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad, despite an unfortunate run-out in the first T20I, smashed a half-century (58) and a century (123*) in the subsequent matches. With 181 runs in three matches, he stands as the leading run-getter in the series. India will expect Ruturaj Gaikwad to carry this momentum into Friday's match.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has formed a solid partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top of the batting order. The opener has been a reliable contributor for India throughout the series, amassing 80 runs in three matches at a strike rate of 205.12.

Middle order: Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh

Ishan Kishan has been in top form in the ongoing series, scoring 110 runs in the three matches, which includes two half-centuries. Although the southpaw failed to make an impact in the third T20I in Guwahati, the wicketkeeper-batter will look to make amends in the upcoming match in Raipur.
