India ponder options with series-winning streak under threat

Australia's opening victory over India was, to a degree, unexpected. However, the manner in which the tourists staggered over the line suggested strongly that Aaron Finch's team remains very much a work in progress, both mentally and technically.
Having put together a diligent display with the ball and in the field - albeit aided by MS Dhoni's 'take it to the finish' batting instincts - the Australians appeared to be on course for a comfortable victory with Glenn Maxwell in the vanguard.
But the collapse that followed Maxwell's skied miscue of a Yuzvendra Chahal legbreak was redolent of a team lacking either recent form in the case of Ashton Turner, or confidence in chasing as is the case with Marcus Stoinis, Maxwell and Peter Handscomb, all part of Melbourne Stars' traumatic surrender of the Big Bash League final to Melbourne Renegades led by Finch. Equally, the mastery of Jasprit Bumrah over Australia was well and truly maintained, leaving it possible to wonder how the game might have panned out if he had been bowling the final over rather than Umesh Yadav.
India, too, have questions, particularly around Dhoni's place in the batting order alongside the younger wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who has been good enough as a pure batsman to earn a place in the team. A seasoned team that has not lost a T20I series to Australia in more than a decade will expect better in Bengaluru.
