After beating Australia by 2 wickets in the 1st T20I, India would be looking to take a 2-0 lead in the ongoing 5-match T20I series versus Australia. India brought a lot of relief to it’s fans with this T20I victory on 23rd November, especially after the heart-breaking and gut-wrenching loss in the finals of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
The likes of Surya Kumar Yadav and Rinku Singh performed well in the 1st T20I and took centre stage during India’s victory. But it was a last-ball finish and India would be looking to register this victory in a comprehensive manner.
Despite both the teams not having some of their top players, they put up a resounding performance. This just goes on to show the amount of pedigree and skills which both the two teams have in this format.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 vice-captain choices in the 2nd T20I between India and Australia:
1. Rinku Singh (India)
After a superlative Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, Rinku Singh has transitioned into the Indian cricket team and has cemented his place in the T20I side of India. He has been delivering the goods with the bat consistently and will be a player to watch out for in the 2nd IND vs AUS T20I in Indore.
Rinku Singh scored 22* runs in 14 balls and had a great outing with the bat. Since he comes in the middle-order, it is advisable to make him the vice-captain of your fantasy team and not the captain.
2. Steve Smith (Australia)
Australian legendary cricketer Steve Smith has been a force to reckon with in every single format. He scored 52 runs in 41 balls in the 1st T20I and would be looking to continue his good form.
We can expect him to perform well in the 2nd T20I at the Greenfield Stadium in Indore and can be a great vice-captain choice in your fantasy team in this IND vs AUS game.
3. Tanveer Sangha (Australia)
Playing in the absence of Adam Zampa, Tanveer Sangha has grabbed the opportunities with both hands. He bagged 2 wickets in the 1st T20I and his wickets included Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma.
We can expect Tanveer to once again spin a web and bamboozle all the opposition batters with his wily bowling. Sangha can be a player to watch out for in the 2nd T20I between these two sides.
