Australia vs India 2020-21: Best combined XI of T20I series
There were a number of top performers in the recent T20I series between Australia and India and here we make a combined XI featuring some of the most talked-about names in the series.
Mitchell Swepson at No.10:
The 27-year-old leg-break bowler has just started his international career but picked up the man of the match award in the third game with bowling figures of 3 for 23. Swepson returned to the national side after making debut against England in the T20Is in June 2018 and picked his first wicket in the series in the form of Kohli. He also gave glimpses of his batting ability by making 12 not out off five deliveries in the same game that the Australians lost by 11 runs.
Swepson was ordinary in the second game in which he picked just one wicket before coming back strong in the third to help Australia win the game and reduce the gap. He ended up as Australia’s top wicket-taker in the series with five scalps.
It is yet to be seen whether Swepson can survive the tests of time to come out as a premier spinner of Australia in the days to come. But the fact that he was drafted into the Test squad for the upcoming series against India to assist Nathan Lyon shows that the Australians are not afraid to bank on him for the future.
