Pre-Match Analysis:

India will be without their prolific run-getter last year Shreyas Iyer who sustained a back injury in the preceding Test series which provides an opportunity for Suryakumar Yadav to show his hitting skills in the 50-over format. Rohit Sharma will miss the series opener citing family commitments, Hardik Pandya who was recently elevated to the vice-captain role will lead the side. Ishan Kishan will open alongside inform Shubman Gill. With the return of Ravindra Jadeja, the side is completely packed with a talented bunch of all-rounders which provides more depth in batting and variety in the bowling. Virat Kohli who has scored centuries in all forms over the last 6 months will bat at his regular No.3 position. Mohammed Siraj who has taken a centre stage in the bowling department lately will likely to share the new ball either with Mohammad Shami or Umran Malik.

Australia will be keen to get into a rhythm in this series with ODI World Cup not far away. Steven Smith who led the side in the final two Tests will continue as their skipper. Glenn Maxwell has completely recovered from a leg injury and makes his way back to the side. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh who did quite well in the ODI series against England will keep his place although he will get tough competition from Marcus Stoinis for a place in the final eleven. Mitchell Starc, Nathan Ellis, and Adam Zampa are the genuine bowlers in the line-up.
