The ever-milling modern-day sport does not allow extended celebrations and India, in the immediate aftermath of their T20I series triumph, will have to hit game mode and treat the India vs Australia 5th match T20 2023 on Sunday as a workshop to fit two key pieces in their grooves ahead of an exacting assignment. Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar will have significant roles to play in the T20Is against South Africa, beginning on December 10.

Iyer who showcased his exceptional show with the willow in the 50-over World Cup played his first international match in the T20 over after a year. He played his last T20I match against New Zealand last November. So, Iyer will be looking to rack in some runs and he will be longing for an outing at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where he cracked a hundred against Netherlands not so long ago in the one-day showpiece.

India's speedster Deepak Chahar found himself in a similar scenario as Shreyas Iyer. In fourth T20I against Australia, Chahar picked two wickets of Tim David and Matthew Short and conceded 44 runs in his four-over spell. He does not have to worry about the series result as the Suryakumar-led Indian side is leading 3-1 over the Aussies.

The team management will also keep an eye on Washington Sundar's performance ahead of South Africa's T20I series. Sundar kept moving in and out of the team due to injuries but has managed a return to India colours during the T20I against New Zealand at Ahmedabad on February 1 earlier this year, though he did not bat or bowl in that match.

The Aussies have nothing to lose now as Matthew Wade and company would like to return home with a victory, an apt epilogue to their country's highly fruitful stint in Indian shores over the last two months.
