NEW DELHI: In a bid to secure an unassailable lead in the third T20 International against Australia, the Indian cricket team is gearing up for a crucial clash in Guwahati on Tuesday. The spotlight is on the stylish Tilak Varma, who may face an exit from the playing eleven, making way for the rested Shreyas Iyer.
After a well-deserved week of rest post the World Cup final, Shreyas Iyer is set to join the squad and take on vice-captaincy duties from Ruturaj Gaikwad. While Iyer's return is anticipated to strengthen the team, it also raises the possibility of him replacing Tilak Varma, a decision seemingly influenced by team combination rather than form.
