Toss Australia opt to bowl vs India
Australia captain Matthew Wade won the toss and asked India to bat in their quest to level the series. Both teams made several changes for the first T20I to be played in Raipur.
Shreyas Iyer was back for India as the vice-captain of the side. Fast bowler Mukesh Kumar, who had missed the Guwahati T20I for his wedding, also returned along with Deepak Chahar and wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma, who had made his T20I debut at the Asian Games earlier this year. Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan were left out to accommodate them.
The Sydney Thunder offspinner Green was making his T20I debut. The 30-year-old brings a wealth of T20 experience, having played in the CPL, IPL, PSL and T20 Blast.
