Australia v India 2019: Three reasons why India might win the third Test 

#2 Increased depth in the batting order

Ashwin will add depth to the batting order

As aforementioned, Pandya offers a lot to all three departments. Not only will be score through quickly, adapt to the situation and make adjustments, but also increase the depth of the Indian batting.

Ravichandran Ashwin, who was withdrawn in the second test due to injury, is expected to be back into the fold for this one. In the previous match, the two-time world champions fielded four fast bowlers, which meant that after Pant, the long tail was exposed.

If you think the number of fast bowlers doesn't necessarily affect the batting line-up if they can do their job well with the ball, it is important to know that while the number 8,9,10 and 11 of the Aussies scored a total of 71 runs in the Perth Test, the lower order of India only managed a paltry 11.

That's a significant difference. And probably, those runs proved vital in the end.

Now that Ashwin and Pandya are set to return, we can expect a few more runs from the visitors which can certainly lead to healthy totals.
