A three-match series between the two sides is scheduled to begin on September 20.
Digital Desk: Former opener Gautam Gambhir has stated that India cannot win the T20 World Cup until they defeat Australia.
Both sides will play each other in a three-match T20I series beginning on September 20th, which will assist them to prepare for the event in Australia.
According to the Hindustan Times, Gambhir stated at a Star Sports media conference that India can only win the T20 World Cup if they defeat Australia during the tournament. He cited the team's victories over Australia in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup.
"I've said it before and I'll say it again. India will not be able to win the T20 World Cup until they defeat Australia."
"Consider the 2007 T20 World Cup. In the semi-finals, we overcame them. We crushed them in the quarter-finals of the 2011 ODI World Cup. Australia is one of the most competitive teams in the world, and you must defeat them in order to win any competition "Gambhir stated.
Gambhir also suggested that Kohli open the batting for India and that all of the speculations may make KL Rahul feel nervous. He stated that instead of focusing on specific individuals, people should consider how India may thrive as a whole.
"What exactly happens in India? We always forget what Rahul and Rohit have done over a long period of time when someone begins doing very well, such as when Virat Kohli made a hundred in the last game "Gambhir stated.
"Think about what happens to KL Rahul when Kohli opens the batting... Consider how insecure he (Rahul) must be feeling. Think about it: if he gets a poor score in the first game, there will be another debate about whether Kohli should open the second game."
"Consider KL Rahul entering the World Cup with the mindset, "What if I don't score runs against Pakistan?" 'What if Virat Kohli replaces me?' That is not what you desire. Rather than focusing on certain individuals, we should consider how India might thrive "Gambhir stated.
