In the fourth T20I, India will clash with Australia in Raipur at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have rolled up their sleeves and the match will start at 7 pm
Suryakumar-led Indian side is leading the series with two wins. Australia won the third T20I after Glenn Maxwell another heroic innings. Today, India will eye their third victory to seal a series win, whereas Australia will put in their best performances to stop the 'Men in Blue' from securing the win
India will also look to exploit the absence of a marauding Maxwell and other influential players such as Steve Smith and Adam Zampa not figuring in the playing XI here, having left for home after a long stay in the country where they won their sixth World Cup title
India's bowlers, though, will still have to deal with Travis Head, on a high after his scintillating match-winning hundred in the ICC World Cup 2023 final against India, and the seasoned Matthew Wade, who is leading the side in the ongoing series
Shreyas Iyer is likely to feature in the fourth and fifth T20I against Australia. With Shreyas Iyer's comeback, Tilak Varma is the only player who looks to be benched for the remaining two clashes
Deepak Chahar will be added to the Indian side and keeping in mind his ability to swing the ball should be considered for his inclusion in the playing XI. Speedster Mukesh Kumar has returned to the squad after one match break

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Ruturaj Gaikwad (vc), Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar,Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Chahar
