‘He can create chaos’

"He’s a gun T20 player. If he’s in for a while, there’s guaranteed entertainment. Irrespective of whether you’re Australian or Indian, you’ll enjoy it. He has the ability to take the game away from you. You don’t want him out there too long because he can create chaos," Shastri said on Fox Cricket.

"His preparation, his belief in his own ability, the range of shots that he has, and then the mindset to go out there and back himself from ball one. From the get-go, he’ll go after the bowling. That’s where he can be extremely dangerous, very explosive, and quietly confident about his own ability," said Shastri.

Ind or Aus - Who Start Favourites? 

Australia are a formidable side in any format, and playing at home - they become doubly-dangerous. 

But reigning T20 World champions India cannot be taken lightly at all. India have been having a dream run in the shortest format. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side recently led the side to the Asia Cup triumph and would be confident about their chances against Australia as well. The opening T20I takes place on October 29 and a full house is expected at the venue.
