While the first match of the series will be played in Mohali, the second and third T20Is will be played in Nagpur and Hyderabad respectively.

Kohli enters the series against Australia after a memorable performance in the recently concluded 2022 Asia Cup.

The tournament proved to be a big boost for him, as the player finished as the second-highest go-getter with 276 runs to his name from 5 matches. He was behind only Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan, who scored 281 in 6 matches.

Meanwhile, Kohli had a stunning average of 92.00 in the tournament and his strike rate was 147.59.

The former India captain also raced to his first international century in nearly three years with a 122 point unbeaten knockout against Aghanistan in the Super 4 stage.

On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav scored 139 runs in the continental event with only half a century in five games. He will aim to get back into rhythm for the 2022 T20 World Cup to be held in Australia in October-November.
