9
C

Ravindra Jadeja IND | ALL

The in-form spin all-rounder won the Player of the Match in both the opening matches. He has scored 96 runs and has taken 17 wickets in this series and will be a safe captaincy choice on the Dream11 Team.

The batting all-rounder is likely to open the innings with Warner out injured. He scored 12 and 43 runs across two innings in Indore Test after missing the first match.

9

Virat Kohli IND | BAT

The former Indian captain started well in the first innings as he scored 44 off 84 but got out on a controversial decision. He has scored 76 runs from three innings and will be looking to end his century drought in the upcoming match.

9

8.5

KL Rahul

IND | BAT

The star Indian opener struggled to contribute in India's opening two wins in this series with just 38 runs from three innings. Rahul's Test average has slipped below 35 and will be a risky Dream11 Team pick on Wednesday.

7

Alex Carey

AUS | WK

The experienced Australian wicketkeeper-batter struggled for runs in the opening two matches with just 53 runs from four innings and should be avoided for the Dream11 Team selection.
