IND vs AUS: Australia are touring India for a four match test series starting on 09 February at Nagpur. The Aussies will be looking to exact revenge for consecutive series losses at home to India, seeking a series win here after 19 long years. They are much better prepared for the India assignment, having played in the sub-continent in the past 12 months. Here is the lastest on team news and possible playing 11 for the visitors:
Australia playing 11 team news
- The experienced David Warner and the stylish Usman Khawaja will open the innings. Labuschagne and Steve Smith will follow who are their best players of spin.
- Batting all-rounders Travis Head and Cameron Green will follow. Green is racing the clock to be fit in time following a finger injury sustained in the South Africa tour. Alex Carey will keep the wickets.
- Australia have named four spinners in the squad but we feel Nathan Lyon and Ashton Agar might start the proceedings.
- Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have been ruled out for first test.

India vs Australia Dream11 Prediction
Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from AUS:
Nathan Lyon will be the biggest threat to the Indian batters. He is relentless in his line and lengths and will enjoy bowling in these conditions.
Tests | Wickets | Econ Rate | Bowl Avg | 5w | Best bowling figures |
115 | 460 | 2.36 | 31.6 | 21 | 8/50 |
Marnus Labuschagne will hold the key to for the Aussies. He has 10 hundreds and averages almost 60 in the red ball game. He has also excelled under most conditions.
Tests | Runs | Average | Strike rate | Highest score | Last 4 scores |
33 | 3150 | 59.43 | 55.7 | 215 | 11, 5*, 14, 79 |
We are tipping Travis Head as a major differential for your Dream11 teams. The left hander is an under-rated bowler too. Part time spin has often been India’s achilles heel in recent past.
Tests | Runs | Average | Strike rate | Highest score | Last 4 scores |
33 | 2126 | 45.4 | 61.1 | 175 | 92, 0, 51, 70 |
