Australia vs India 2018-19: India's predicted XI for the final Test

#8 Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja's accurate bowling has tormented Australia throughout the 3rd Test

Ravindra Jadeja has bowled extremely well in the Boxing Day Test match. He claimed five wickets in the match, and he outplayed Nathon Lyon who took just one wicket in the match. His accurate bowling has chocked Australia from one end which led the fast bowlers to wrap them up.

Ravichandran Ashwin will fight for the spinner should he prove his fitness in the next few days. However, India will likely go with Ravindra Jadeja because of his ability to provide batting stability down the order.

Also, Jadeja's ability to complete his over is less a minute gives no breathing space for the Australian batsman.

#9 Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma is leading the Indian fast bowling attack

Ishant Sharma is another automatic choice for the Indian Playing XI. He has been impressive so far with his immaculate bowling. Being the senior member of the squad, he has led the bowling department extremely well.

He has taken 11 wickets so far in this series and has provided break-through wickets at the crucial moments throughout the series. His ability to bowl long spells has helped India to go with just four main-stream bowlers adding more depth to the batting.
