India’s tour of Australia 2020/21 has been a very well fought contest so far. Australia won the ODI series and after getting a lot of criticism, India came back hard to win the T20I series 2-1 and now, the Test series is also level 1-1. Not may would’ve expected India to make a comeback in the 2nd Test after their horrible display in the opening game where they even found themselves at a record low of 36 all out at one stage.
However, it was a classy performance to come back in the series and we think it’s going to be a tough fight in the 3rd Test as well as the action moves to the SCG. India hasn’t had the best of records here over the years, so they will have to being their A-game to this crucial game of the series.

Australia
The home team’s coach Justin Langer has promised that David Warner will be back for the 3rd Test and why not?! He’s got a fabulous record at this ground with 700+ runs in 7 games including 4 centuries and 3 fifties. Joe Burns has been dropped and Will Pucovski has been added back to the side. Regardless, we want Marnus Labuschagne in our AUS vs IND 3rd Test fantasy team because he’s managed a couple of forties in this series so far.
With the ball, Nathan Lyon has a great record at this ground with 36 scalps in just 9 Test matches. He’s got only 4 wickets in 2 Tests this series which means he won’t be a very popular pick in today’s game, which makes us want to have him even more. Pat Cummins is the leading wicket-taker across both sides in this series with 10 scalps. He can bat well too and is a good option to be your fantasy captain or vice-captain for this match!
India
Biggest news for India is that KL Rahul is back in India after suffering an injury which may almost certainly mean an extended run for the likes of Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, the former having showed some great footwork at the top of the order, scoring 45 in the 1st innings and 35* in the 2nd. Along with him, one may select the stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane who proved his mettle when given the added responsibility of captaincy.

Both the all-rounders need to be picked today as Ravi Ashwin has managed 10 wickets in 2 games and is capable of adding valuable contributions with the bat as well. Due to recent improvements in batting scores in his career, Ravindra Jadeja now looks like a complete all-rounder and after a fifty and 3 wickets in the last game, he should be in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team too!
