Deepak Hooda is the first player on this list. Hooda was part of Asia Cup 2022 as one of the all-rounders for the team. He batted at the lower order and was expected to smash runs for the team towards the end. However, the right-handed batsman totally failed to come up with a good show for the team. He batted in 2 games and scored 19 runs at an average of 9.50. He also lost his wicket at a crucial stage.

In one game, he was also carted away for 50-plus runs in his 4-over spell. He was ruled out of the tournament midway due to health issues. Even though he might be fit again to play, he is likely to be dropped in the T20I series against Australia.

Rishabh Pant is another player on this list. Although Pant is the primary choice of a wicketkeeper for the team across formats, he has been inefficient in the format in recent times. In Asia Cup 2022 too, the left-handed batsman failed to come up with good knocks.

In 3 games, he scored 51 runs at an average of 25.50. He also lost his wickets at crucial moments during the matches. Hence, he might be dropped in the IND vs AUS T20I series and wicketkeepers like Dinesh Karthik or Ishan Kishan can be roped into the squad.
