Hardly any Australian team visiting India in the past has looked as nervous as Steve Smith & Company on tour currently facing with. More than the 1-4 defeat they have suffered in the ODI series hardly received such defeat against the host in the past; it's the body language of otherwise ever-aggressive Australians that has surprised cricket fans. The admission of that can be found in the words of stand-in coach David Saker, who believes the team is a "bit scared" of Virat Kohli's Team India."It's not mainly personnel, I think it's mainly just their mindset and where they are in their games. A lot of them are playing a little bit scared, which we try not to do. We try and make sure they play with a lot of freedom and express themselves as much as they can. But when you're losing, you play scared.

Ahead of the three-match T20I series, which begins October 7, the Australian squad will welcome fresh legs as Jason Behrendorff, Dan Christian, Moises Henriques, Tim Paine and AJ Tye arrive in India. Flying back home will be Pat Cummins, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, James Faulkner and Hilton Cartwright. "After a long tour, India can sometimes get you down and wear you down, but getting five or six new guys into the squad after what's happened in the one-day series, we'll be really determined to bounce back," David Saker said.
