India vs Australia 2019, T20I series – Approaching milestones

Australia’s limited-overs tour of India will serve them as a rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup in England later this year. Less than 100 days prior to the tournament, the Australian team is unsure of their combination for the World event. In fact, India is also on the same line but their issue has been the middle-order spots only. All the players of both the teams will take the field keeping the CWC in mind.

All the approaching milestones for the players ahead of the India-Australia T20I series:

45 – Yuzvendra Chahal needs five more wickets to complete 50 T20I scalps. Only Ravichandran Ashwin (52) has taken 50 T20I wickets so far for India.
