After a disappointing ODI series, Indians will be eager to get on to the field to maintain their winning momentum at least in this format of the game. They whitewashed New Zealand in their own backyard in the 5 match T20I series earlier this year but that series could have gone either ways.
As said by the Indian captain Virat Kohli earlier this year that ODIs are irrelevant but T20Is will be having the top most priority as it is important to build the team for the upcoming WT20 in India in 2021. India have several missing pieces in their squad and this should be a good little experiment for them to find the solution to it.
Here, let us take a look at the top 7 leading run-getters from both sides since 2010 in the shortest format of the game.
7. Yuvraj Singh
The southpaw has a staggering record against the Australians in this format of the game and he has scored 283 runs since 2010 against them in 10 games at an average of 56 and with a strike rate of 161.
6. Shane Watson
One of the greatest players in the history of T20 cricket and not just T20Is. He is regarded as the greatest all rounder in this format. There are no surprises that Shane Watson finds his name in this list with 302 runs with a destructive strike rate of 158. He averages 50 runs per game.
