Ideally in place of Dhoni.. but yeah, whatever

Kuldeep should skip T20 bilaterals.  No need to waste him on such games, or dent his confidence.  That kind of stuff matters for wrist-spinners.  Let him be free to be brave and toss that ball up without worrying about being hit for a few sixes in a entertainment format.

Shankar got couple of hits with the bat. His bowling is not used. If he's being considered for the WC squad, should get a few chances in the ODI series against Aus. For this T20 game I would leave him out.

 

I'll rest Chahal and give Kuldeep a game.

 

* R Sharma

S Dhawan

R Pant

H Pandya

K Jadhav

D Karthik

K Pandya

+ M Dhoni

B Kumar

K Yadav

K Ahmed

 

3 pace options (Bhuvi, Khaleel, Hardik). 3 spin options (Kuldeep, Krunal, Jadhav if required for an over or two) .

Plenty of batting. Dhoni at #8 

 

Let Pant and H-Pandya go hell for leather at #3 and #4. If they get out quickly, there's plenty of back up in Jadhav, Karthik, Krunal and Dhoni to manage the innings.
