Nikhil Chaudhary earns maiden Australia callup | Australia squad vs Bangladesh T20I 2026 |

#SportsFact #FactIndiaSports History has been scripted in Australian cricket! Delhi-born spin-bowling all-rounder Nikhil Chaudhary has earned his maiden call-up to the Australian T20I squad for the upcoming three-match series against Bangladesh. Drafted in as a replacement for star batter Travis Head (who is on personal leave), the 30-year-old is on the verge of breaking a massive 62-year-old jinx! If named in the final playing eleven, Nikhil Chaudhary will become the first India-born male cricketer to represent Australia since leg-spinner Rex Sellers back in 1964. In this video, we break down his unbelievable journey. From playing domestic cricket for Punjab alongside Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, to getting stuck in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic while visiting family, Nikhil's story is pure inspiration. Forced to stay Down Under, he worked odd jobs, dominated grade cricket, and eventually took the Big Bash League (BBL) by storm with the Hobart Hurricanes and earned a Sheffield Shield contract with Tasmania. Fresh off an IPL stint with the Delhi Capitals and currently playing league cricket in Belgium for JB Bruges, Nikhil will join Mitchell Marsh's squad in Dhaka ahead of the first T20I in Chattogram on June 17th.
