Probable Playing XI for India.

1.    Rohit Sharma (captain) -He is in pretty good form and leading his team from the front.

2.    KL Rahul(VC) -Joined the squad after his marriage, being a batter he will play against Aussies.

3.    Pujara- One of the most consistent performer in Indian soil, lots of expectations from him with the bat.

4.    Virat- He is in some insane form in recent time in ODI cricket scoring back to back centuries and lots of run. Team expect him to perform in the same manner. He is the x factor for India.

5.    Subhman- He has shown some tremendous batting in the last series against NZ and will be a big contender against the Australian cricket team.

6.    KS Bharat- After Pant being Injured and KL Rahul not ready to do keeping in test cricket, Bharat is the best choice for keeping wickets in test. He can make his test debut in this series. There will be a serious competition between him and Ishan Kisan.

7.    Jadeja- After the injury he is making his way to the test team. He is expected to do well with both bat and ball. He has previously proven to be one of the best all rounder in test cricket for India. Hard to leave him out of the playing XI for any team considering his performance.

8.    Ashwin- The veteran spinner might be the greatest threat to the Australian in this series. With his variations he can be the match winner. Ashwin can contribute with bat also, and he has proven track record of this. He will be leading the spin attack for India.

9.    Shami-With Bumrah out of the tournament, he will be in charge of pace attack for India. He is in great form and India will be looking for wickets from him.

10. Shiraj- With experienced Shami,Shiraj will be looking to threat Aussies by his extra pace and bounce bowling, he is expected to play in final XI.

11. Axar Patel- With recent form both in batting and bowling he is a serious contender to play in the final XI. He has to compete with Kuldeep but because of his batting skill he may be given preference over Kuldeep.
