#2 David Warner
David Warner is an explosive batsman who can dismantle any bowling attack. The Australian would provide a left-handed option at the top and get the team off to flying starts.
He burst on to the scene in T20 cricket but is now one of the permanent members of the Australian Test team as well. He can hit boundaries at will, thereby destroying the plans of the bowlers.
#3 Virat Kohli (Captain)
Virat Kohli is a match winner in every aspect. His passion and love for the game are unparalleled. But what stands out is his desire to attain perfection every time he steps on to the cricket field.
He is one of the best batsmen in the world right now and is an ideal no. 3 for any team. He has a staggering record during run-chases, becoming a prime asset for any team he plays for.
He has proved his worth as a captain for India recently and has demonstrated strong leadership skills and so, he will be the captain of this side.
