The Indian team will tour Australia later this year for a multi-format limited overs series comprising three ODIs and five T20 Internationals.
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been left supremely impressed by the quality of youngsters in the Punjab Kings squad as well as the Indian T20 set up on the sidlelines of the IPL.
Marcus Stoinis says a ready reckoner in how to have a long T20 career has already been created by 40-plus stalwarts like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Faf du Plessis.
Virat Kohli said he is not mulling retirement at the moment as he has been enjoying the game.

Bumrah's exclusion wasn't solely about workload management-his leadership potential played a crucial role in the decision. The BCCI has all but finalised him as India's next Test captain.
Before his dismissal, Kohli showcased glimpses of his class, creaming Gus Atkinson for a delightful four through mid-on with a gorgeous on-drive in the 18th over.
'This wasn't an easy decision, but I believe it's the right time for me to step away from ODIs and fully focus on the next chapter of my career.'
'You guys need to understand, these guys are human beings. You give them the stick now, but at the end of their careers, you look back and how did they make you feel when they played? They made people feel happy.'

With more than five months to go for the next Test series, many in the BCCI believe that there is no need to take a decision right away.
