The ongoing T20Is between India and Australia heads into the business leg, with Suryakumar Yadav and Co. leading the five-match series 2-1. Both sides will clash swords in the fourth encounter today at Raipur, with India looking to seal a series victory while Australia will want to draw level. 

Former India opener Aakash Chopra, ahead of the Raipur T20I, revealed that India might drop the likes of Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, and Prasidh Krishna for the crucial match.  With Shreyas Iyer being available for the final two T20Is, either Kishan or Varma can play in the middle-order.

Kishan in three matches has scored 110 runs, while Varma has managed just 50, tipping the favour in the former's court. 

Speaking on his own YouTube channel, the former Kolkata Knight Riders player stated all possible chances team management could make in the playing XI across batting and bowling departments. 

Here's what Chopra revealed

"There is scope for changes in the Indian team. A little birdie told me that two or three changes might happen. One is simple - Prasidh Krishna might not play this match, either Mukesh Kumar or Deepak Chahar might play in his place. Mukesh Kumar has come back. He was bowling in the nets.


Shreyas Iyer has come back and he will play. I have heard both Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma might not play. I cannot confirm or verify that, I have heard rumors. If they don't play, you might see both Jitesh Sharma and Shreyas Iyer playing."

The fifth and final T20I will be played on December 3 at Bangalore.
