The Indian cricket team will go with a lot of confidence into the three-match T20 International series after winning the 3rd ODI at Canberra on Wednesday. India lost the series 2-1, but the good performance with the bat and ball in the last ODI will allow them to take the momentum into the T20I series, starting December 4.
However, three Indian players -- Shardul Thakur, Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav – who played the third ODI are not part of T20I squad, while Deepak Chahar and Washignton Sundar are notable additions in the squad.
