Aaron Finch – Just like ODI format, he is also a contender to lead Aussie team in T20I format.
An aggressive top-order batsman, Finch has a strike-rate of 151.69 in T20I format and is one of the best openers in the shortest format of the game.
Since Steven Smith did not play any T20I contest since 2016, the captaincy of T20I format was always up for grabs.
David Warner seemed to be an automatic replacement for the job.
However, now with being ruled out, the responsibility might fall on Finch.
If given the job, he will succeed Warner and not Smith, practically.
