Most probably India will go with 3 spinners in spin friendly Chennai wicket. Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are handy with the bat. Kuldeep Yadhav can also give useful contribution with the bat. Jasprit Bumrah , Mohammed Siraj and All rounder Hardik Pandya will lead the Indian pace attack.

Australia have one of the best pace bowling attack in the world. Mitchell Starc , Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood is threat to any batting line up. So the contest is going to be between strong Indian batting line up vs Australian pace attack.
