Ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup Super 12 stage, the Indian team will play a couple of warm-up games against Australia and New Zealand at the Gabba in Brisbane. It is safe to say that the Gabba is one of the most bouncy tracks in the world, and it will be good practice for the Indian team.
Team India recently played a couple of practice matches against Western Australia at the WACA Stadium in Perth, where they won one and lost one of their matches. Virat Kohli did not play in Perth, and he would definitely want to get some practice ahead of the main tournament.
