India will kick off their big tour of Australia with first of the three-match T20I series at Gabba in Brisbane on Nov 21.

Given both teams' recent performances, India is a hot favorite for this series. India has been unbeaten in their eight T20I series or tournament and will look to stretch their winning streak.

The trio of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Virat Kohli are in great form and should continue to score big runs in Australia as well. In bowling Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah will take the responsibility.

On the other hand, Australia is on a six-match losing streak in T20I format and need to play a great brand of cricket to return on winning ways. Australia's hopes rely on their bowling attack of Nathan Coulter Nile, Billy Stanlake, Andrew Tye and Jason Behrendroff.
