India's Predicted XI Vs Australia, 3rd Test: Shubman Gill To Replace KL Rahul?

The trio of Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Axar Patel have not just delivered with the ball, but they have also scored big so far in the series.

There are chances that the team management might go with Gill in place of Rahul as the young batter has shown great results in the Test series against Bangladesh, where he smashed a ton.

Cheteshwar Pujara: The ever-reliable Cheteshwar Pujara, who played his 100th Test in the last match, fell for 0 in the first innings. However, he played an unbeaten knock of 31 runs and took Team India across the line in the last innings. He will be eyeing a big score in the third Test.

Virat Kohli: The star India batter smashed 44 and 20 runs in the second Test. Kohli will look to play a bigger innings in the upcoming match.

Shreyas Iyer: Coming back from the injury and replacing Suryakumar Yadav, the right-handed batter failed to
