#3 Wicket-keeper
Let us look at the options for the wicket-keeper position.
Syed Kirmani
Kirmani in 11 Tests scored 471 runs at an average of 29.43 which is higher than his career average of 27.04. He also scored 2 fifties with 55 being his highest score.

MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni has been the best wicket-keeper batsman India has ever had. But he struggled in Australian conditions. In 9 matches he scored 311 runs at an average of just 19.43. He scored just 1 fifty in 18 innings.
Parthiv Patel
Parthiv also doesn't have an exceptional record in Australia. He scored 160 runs in 4 games at an average of 32 including a fifty.
Kiran More
In 3 Tests he scored 143 runs at an average of 28.60 including a fifty.
Dhoni has the worst average among the keepers. The other three have a comparable average and since Kirmani played most games Down Under, he will be the wicket-keeper of this side.
