India vs Australia Live Score, 2nd T20I (India National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team): Hello and welcome to the live blog of the second T20I between India and Australia at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Rain spoiled the opener in Canberra, but India’s aggressive, high-risk approach under coach Gautam Gambhir remains central to their World Cup build-up.
India head into the second T20I against Australia at the MCG with confidence, buoyed by Suryakumar Yadav’s return to form and a fearless young batting core led by Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Shivam Dube.
With Bumrah, Kuldeep, Axar, and Varun Chakravarthy forming a strong bowling unit, India appear well-balanced. Australia, without Starc and Cummins, rely on Marsh, Head, and Stoinis for firepower in a series that promises attacking cricket from both sides.
Playing XIs:
India: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson(w), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.
