IND vs AUS Dream11 team: Australia need to win this test to have a chance to regain the BGT. The wicket in Delhi is naturally slow and this is a good chance for Australia to show some domination.
1. Steve Smith
Steve Smith remained unbeaten in the 2nd innings of the first test. He batted brilliantly in the first innings as well but got out to a Jaffa from Ravindra Jadeja.

2. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is playing at his home after a long time and there won’t be any better venue for him to score big in tests after a long time. He got out to a poor ball in the first match.
Tests vs AUS | Runs | Strike rate | Highest score vs AUS | Average | Last 5 scores vs AUS |
21 | 1694 | 52 | 169 | 47 | 12, 4, 74, 23, 0 |
3. Marnus Labuschagne
Marnus Labuschagne looked extraordinary on the first day of the test match where he showed brilliant technique in handling spin. The Delhi pitch will be slow in nature and there won’t be any fast turn on offer which will allow him to play mostly on the backfoot.

4. Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins struggled to find his line and length for the Indian conditions but he is a fast learner and one can expect him to crack the code in the 2nd test. He will also have Mitchell Starc as his partner in the 2nd test.

5. Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin didn’t bowl well in the first innings of the previous game but showed his class in the 2nd innings when there was little help in the wicket for him. The Delhi wicket is expected to be conducive and he will have a huge part in it.
