KL Rahul ($15,500)
KL Rahul’s knock at the top (50 off 36 balls) in the first match was a welcome sign for India with his performance key to setting Australia a total that went all the way to the last ball. Rahul will take a lot of confidence from his performance and coming to his hometown venue he will look to improve and make another big score before the ODIs begin.
Nathan Coulter-Nile ($17,900)
Nathan Coulter-Nile (3/26) was brilliant with his spell of bowling in the first T20 and provided the platform for Australia to claim victory. The quick will once again be crucial with the ball and should collect points.
Glenn Maxwell ($18,500)
Glenn Maxwell (56 off 43) carried on his Big Bash League form as he took on the Indian bowlers to set up what looked like an easy win that somehow got stretched to the last over. Maxwell looks in good nick for another big score.
Jasprit Bumrah ($18,000)
Jasprit Bumrah (3/16) showed that he is head and shoulders above his peers when it comes to death bowling with his performance in the first T20. He managed to take the game to the final ball and is the man India will look towards to turn things around in Bengaluru.
