With the lack of finches, Australia’s team management will have to contemplate on who will descend with David Warner in the opening pair of Australia, this issue is a problem for him. Instead of Finch, Peter Handscomb has been included in the team. The Australian team will also depend heavily on spinners.

India: Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yajuwendra Chahal, Jaspreet Bumrah.
