India have found themselves under pressure in both Tests. However, they successfully managed to get themselves out of that position, courtesy of their all-rounder trio. Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel will be again eager to perform with both bat and ball. Shubman Gill might get a chance after KL Rahul failed to put up any big scores in the first two Tests.

Australia meanwhile are in a very tough situation. They will be forced to make a few changes. Captain Pat Cummins returned home just ahead of the 3rd test due to family commitments. Two veterans David Warner and Josh Hazlewood have been also ruled out. Along with Ashton Agar, both of them have returned back home. Steve Smith will be captaining the Australian team in the absence of Pat Cummins. Young all-rounder Cameron Green and reliable pacer Mitchell Starc will finally make their return to the lineup. IND vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction, 3rd Test 2023: Tips To Pick Best Fantasy Playing XI for India vs Australia BGT Cricket Match in Indore.
