The Aussie bats should take care of that by conveniently getting out.

If India don't play Bhuvi here, then there is no point of selecting him in test squad.

How do they play him though? India needs the insurance of batsman at 7 with Pant not very dependable. Lyon has taken 7 wickets in that match, so it is not purely a pacers' pitch. Spinner helps in the over rates and resting the pacers too. Jadeja is very good on those counts. The current 3 pacers are locks by the look of it. Hence unless one of them gets injured or break down which is a huge possibility, its difficult for Bhuvi to come in.

Jadeja has to play, we need a spinner. He's in for Ashwin. Battle is between Vihari/Bhuvi for the last spot IMO.
Logically you go for the batsman, but I just want Bhuvi to play and don't rate Vihari at all

In fairness there’s not much advantage for Australia to produce a green top, at least not the current side.So Perth pitch will be considered as sporting or doctored ? Just asking because I have read on this forum many times that Australia doesn't doctor wickets.

I'd be staggered if the pitch doesn't get a significant mow before the match from that state. Considering India has three bowlers who consistently hit the seam and we only have two (Starc tends to miss it a lot) I doubt a green pitch would advantage us.So Perth pitch will be considered as sporting or doctored ? Just asking because I have read on this forum many times that Australia doesn't doctor wickets.

Bhuvi is an automatic pick imo. It's between Jadeja and Vihari.

ROHIT & ASHWIN OUT OF PERTH TEST
H.VIHARI & JADEJA IN
( 13 MEMBERS ANNOUNCED)
https://www.cricketcountry.com/news...ari-ravindra-jadeja-in-13-member-squad-777446
India named their 13-member squad for the second Test against Australia in Perth, with offspinner R Ashwin and lower-middle order batsman Rohit Sharma ruled out due to injuries. Prithvi Shaw is still unavailable for selection
Hanuma Vihari and Ravindra Jadeja have been added to the 13-member squad in place of Rohit and Ashwin.
Shaw is still recovering from his left ankle injury he picked up during the practice game in Sydney.
Ashwin has a left-sided abdominal strain while Rohit jarred his lower back while fielding in the 1st Test at Adelaide, both are undergoing treatment.
“The team management is closely monitoring these players and a call on their availability for the third Test will be taken at an appropriate time,” a BCCI release stated.
Ashwin’s unavailability is a big loss as he had taken a six-wicket haul at Adelaide to help India record their first win in a series opener in Australia.
Rohit, who made a Test comeback at the Adelaide Oval, was expected to retain his place in the eleven after scores of 37 and 1.
With the trio unavailable for selection, India included Vihari, Jadeja, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the 13-member squad.
Squad for 2nd Test: Virat Kohli (C), M Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (VC), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav

Umesh should be given a go. He looks like a better seam bowler than Shami. You cant say that either of them is more likely to spray it than the other. If not for any other reason, the fact that Umesh took a fukin 10-fer in his last match that too played in India which should have worked in his favour in the first place.
Ashwin's injury is a blessing in disguise. Looked toothless in the second innings while Lyon had Pujara dancing.
Jadeja and Bhuvi will be my replacement. Yes Vihari scored a 50 in his debut but Jadeja top scored with 86* in the same innings. Going with 4 bowlers again is a recipe for injury.
Bhuvi
Pant
Jadeja
Ishant
Umesh
Bumrah FTW
