Aus picking a very large squad for India including 4 spinners which is a first for me seeing us go with that many.
India will be strengthened by the return of Ravi Jadeja who is a gun player and will probably use him with Ashwin and Axar as their spinners. Handscomb as a backup batter is an interesting choice for me, been picked as he is a reputed good player of spin but everytime he comes to the wicket if he plays Id expect the likes of Bumrah, Shami and Siraj to be brought into the attack as everyone knows he shuffles back and in front of his stumps and imho he will just be target practice for the Indian quicks as a lbw candidate.
India have been off their game in recent times and a few of their players have got ahead of themselves as the rupees have been flowing in and their heads getting bigger with their rock start status. Kholi and Pant who are usually bogeyman have been out of form and they have also had to recall Pujara who looked finished a while back so I reckon we are a chance if we get the run of the toss and the Indians dont stitch us up with dodgy wickets spinning at right angles.
A drawn series would probably be a win for us and thats my favoured result....
