Strongest  Indian playing XI for the Test series in Australia

#3 Wicketkeeper and all-rounder - Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant is a young test cricketer who recently scored his maiden century during the tour of England. During the course of his maiden century, he broke the record for the highest test score by an Indian keeper in the fourth innings of a test match. He has the talent to perform at the highest level and should definitely be groomed for the future by the selectors and team management as he is still relatively very young.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja is in splendid form after his selection during the England series. He is batting well and scored his maiden test century against the West Indies. His bowling has also scalped useful wickets for the Indian team. He should be a definite selection for the all-rounder's spot and if possible also the lone spinner spot during the Australia tour.
