International Captain
So Will Pucovski to make his long awaited debut with this batting line-up looking so much better than the first 2 Tests

Warner
Pucovski
Labuschagne
Smith
Wade
Green
Paine

Green has to stay. Not only based on being the leading run getter last test but with the bowling on offer it's a no brainer. I'd keep Head over Wade cos Head is likely to make a match winning contribution than Wade who will at best make a good looking 40

also guys, warner coming back shouldn't be alarming for india at all. we all think of him as an ultra aggressive test opener but that was only true until 2016. in 2014, 2015 and 2016, he struck at almost 90 but since then, his strike rate has been in the 60s in tests

i think we'll take the series or at least draw it regardless of who aus puts out unless they start scoring like they used to at home

You need to win in Sydney to do that tbh, barring **** weather in both tests. Aus grows another leg in Brisbane, primarily because they want to finish matches there quickly so they can get out of the joint. Australia’s Chennai.

Natarajan ahead of Saini isn't good. Saini is brainless but still offers 140 kph. Natarajan will most likely be the typical trundler who can grab a couple of wickets if stars align well.

Not that Saini was impressive in the warm ups either. Its a tough choice for India. U
Normally don't miss Umesh but here might as well do.

For that to happen, the two conditions need to be met:

1.) Ashwin gets Warner and Smith out for low scores. He has done well so far and should carry on with this form.

2.) Pujara or Rohit/Mayank need to get a big 100, at least in Sydney with Gill, Rahane, Vihari and Pant scoring 50s.
