They have Kohli and Pujara, equivalent of us missing Smith and Warner. Kohli's only had one good innings. If we knock both Kohli and Pujara out early thenĀ we can run right through them.
They have the injured Hardik Pandya missing at No 6 and can improve their tail by including Ashwin and Jadeja ..the latter averages 32 and thats handy coming in at No 8.
Jadeja and Pandya are also excellent in the field......I cant believe they didnt play Jadeja in Perth.....
They will be a lot harder to beat at the MCG if those three play....
Agree their openers are rubbish and I would expect changes there, I expect Handscomb to hold his place given the game is in Melbourne.....
