But captain Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya are certain and in current form Dinesh Karthik is ahead of Rishabh Pant.
Karthik kept practicing for a long time after his batting session.
But to be fair to Pant, he is the only left-arm specialist batting option in the top six and if both Karthik and Pant are included in the playing XI, then Rohit to play Pandya as the fifth bowling option. Will be forced, which can backfire. on occasions.
Similarly, Axar is the most frequent spinner in sight but Pakistan have Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz and Khushdil Shah in the top order and playing a left-arm spinner against them may not be a good option.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s experience cannot be ignored as he brings variety to the table.
Yuzvendra Chahal, by far looks like the first-choice spinner and with big side boundaries on big Australian grounds, wrist spinners are a must have.
With Mohammed Shami hitting the straps with Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the pace troika looks settled as Harshal Patel cannot be picked on current form.
