Here, Newstrack.com brings to you the list of potential players who may play India-Australia test series:

Mayank Agarwal

This young player has made cricket look effortless with his languid batting style. He comes with perfect plans against the opponents and execute them with perfection. His brilliance with the bat is unstoppable. Standing among one of the top players with scoring 76 runs in the first innings and a 42 in the second innings, he completely justified his inclusion in the team and will surely make his entry in the final Test match in Sydney.

Hanuma Vihari

Rohit Sharma opting out of Perth Test has handed him a brilliant opportunity to play for India in Sydney test series. He can also bowl the occasional off-spinners to give the fast bowlers a break.

Cheteshwar Pujara

Pujara was the star performer for India in the Melbourne Test as his 106 off 319 balls in the first innings laid a perfect foundation for the hosts. Currently, he is the top scorer for India in the series and he can once again be the difference maker between the two sides in the final Test encounter in Sydney.

Virat Kohli

Kohli, who was the top scorer of 2018 with 1322 runs in Test match, will surely be looking to start 2019 in similar fashion. Indian capitan Kohli, who is among the finest cricket players in the world will surely play in India Vs Australia test series.

Ajinkya Rahane

The Indian vice-captain has shown flashes of brilliance but he needs to play a knock of substance to help the team. This time the place and time is just right for him to make a healthy contribution in the middle order.

Rishabh Pant

The wicket-keeper batsman has already broken a number of records in this series when it comes to completing dismissals and he will be looking to continue his brilliant run of form. Pant has the necessary ability to bat in the heart of the middle order and he must use this opportunity to play a big innings.

Ravichandran Ashwin/Hardik Pandya

With Rohit Sharma opting out of the Test match, India may turn to Ravichandran Ashwin. He missed the third Test due to injury, if Ashwin is not declared completely fit, the visitors can opt for Hardik Pandya. He will add another pace option to the team and in the absence of Rohit, he can be a more than capable batsman in the middle order.

Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja’s ability to bowl long and economical spells can help in building pressure from one end. Add to that his live wire fielding skills and Jadeja is a captain’s delight. The all-rounder took five wickets in the Boxing Day Test and he will surely retain his position in the side for the final Test match in Sydney.

Mohammed Shami

Shami did exceptionally well in Perth. Though, his inability to control things when not bowling at his best hurts the team and the experienced pacer needs to work on that front.

Ishant Sharma

Captain, Virat Kohli will expect the fellow Delhi boy to shoulder the burden of leading the pace attack yet again. In Melbourne, he was not among wickets but the lanky pacer will be looking to change that in Sydney.

Jasprit Bumrah

In Melbourne, Bumrah took 6-33 to rout Paine’s side for 151 and carve out a first-innings lead of 292 and then claimed 3-53 in the second innings for a match haul of 9-86, and was deservedly named man of the match.
