Middle Order:
Steve Smith will be seen batting at no.4, however, the right-hander will also be leading the Australian team as Pat Cummins returned back to his home due to serious family health issues. Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey got a great start in some of his innings in this Test series but couldn’t convert them into big knocks and got dismissed several times while playing sweep shots.
Peter Handscomb batted brilliantly in the second Test but didn’t get support from other batters. The right-hander will definitely be included in the upcoming Indore Test.
All-rounders:
Australian all-rounder, Cameron Green, who missed out first two matches due to an injury, might return to the field for the third match. Green’s ability to put pressure on the bowlers through his aggressive batting can be useful for the team.
Green can also be used in the middle overs to break some crucial and annoying partnerships. Green recently grabbed the attention, when he was signed by Mumbai for the upcoming season of the Indian T20 League.
