The nature of the Chinnaswamy deck might not be precisely of his liking, but Chahar has several variations up his sleeve to counter the docility of the track.
A power outing against Australia can leave him in a good frame of mind, and he also does not have to worry about the outcome of the series as Suryakumar Yadav’s side already has it in its pocket through a 3-1 lead.Click here to read the match preview

India vs Australia LIVE
India sealed the series with a 20-run win in Raipur, and while the fifth T20I is just a mere formality with Australia playing for pride, it will provide an opportunity for both teams to experiment with their squads. Here are the possible changes that both teams could make in the playing XI for the fifth T20I.

India vs Australia 5th T20 Live
India take on Australia in the 5th T20I at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. India have already clinched the five-match series and lead 3-1. The fifth contest is an opportunity for India to fine tune their options before flying to South Africa. Meanwhile, for Australia, it is a chance to reduce the deficit and bring to an end a brilliant couple of months in white-ball cricket.
India vs Australia 5th T20I Live Score and Updates: India, fresh from their T20I series victory against Australia, must swiftly transition to game mode for the fifth contest on Sunday. This encounter will allow them to fine-tune key elements before the upcoming challenging series against South Africa.
Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar hold pivotal roles in the upcoming T20Is, and the Indian team management would eagerly anticipate their performance in the final outing before heading to Durban.
Despite Shreyas Iyer’s impressive form in the recent 50-over World Cup, his return to the shortest format in the Raipur T20I revealed a touch of rust. Iyer aims to regain his rhythm and hopes for a successful outing at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, a venue where he previously notched a century against Netherlands in a one-day fixture.
Similarly, Deepak Chahar, recovering from a prolonged injury layoff, faced his first T20I appearance in the fourth match after nearly a year. While he made an impact with the wickets of Tim David and Matthew Short, he conceded 44 runs in his four overs. The Chinnaswamy pitch may not be ideal for Chahar, but his array of variations could help him out. A strong performance against Australia would boost his confidence, especially with India already securing a 3-1 lead in the series.
India have addressed several key aspects over the last four matches. Suryakumar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ishan Kishan have been among the runs, while leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi leads the bowling charts with seven wickets. The team aims to maintain this positive momentum.
Meanwhile, the Australians, with nothing to lose, seek a victory as a fitting conclusion to their fruitful stint in Indian shores over the past two months.
