Middle Order

#6 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik is one of India's most experienced campaigners. The right hander has played some match winning knocks for the visitors in the past and has scored 1675 runs at an average of 30.45, which is quite decent considering his batting position.

He was unable to convert his start last time, but looked good in his short innings of 13, The batsman is likely to get another chance to prove his stance.

#7 Ravindra Jadeja (All-rounder)

Ravindra Jadeja

After the exclusion of Hardik Pandya, India lacks an all-rounder option in this area. As a result, they are left with no other option except Ravindra Jadeja. He has been a key figure in the Indian team and proved his worth on each and every opportunity he got.

The all-rounder can play crucial roles in both departments either batting or bowling and was among wickets in first ODI against Australia. He picked up a crucial wicket of dangerous Usman Khawaja to end with economical figures of 1/46 in ten overs.

He failed to replicate his bowling success in batting and threw away his wicket at eight. Despite this, he is likely to get a go ahead for the second game on the basis of his experience and lack of options.
