Smith won the Player of the Series award for his consistent and outstanding batting performance in the three-match ODI series.The entry of Manish Pandey and Sanju Samson into the Indian side for T20 is expected to provide strength to the already strong batting line-up. On the other hand, inclusion of Mitchell Starc is likely to bolster the bowling line-up of Australia. However, they need to find a player who could fill the place of David Warner as he will not be playing in the upcoming T20 series due to injury.
