#3 Give another chance to Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur formed a formidable new-ball pair with Jaydev Unadkat in IPL 2017. He led the bowling well under Dhoni's guidance and was instrumental in Pune Supergiant's run to the final. He performed brilliantly for India A during their recent tour to South Africa.
The Mumbai lad bowls with good pace and can swing the ball nicely away from the right-hander. He got a couple of chances in the ODI series against Sri Lanka as well. It is still early days for the youngster and a good performance against the Australians will boost his confidence ahead of the domestic season.
With so much workload on Bhuvi and Bumrah and a lot of matches still remaining in the season, it won't be a bad idea to try out Thakur in the T20Is
