Average Score
Player Picks
Marnus Labuschagne AUS | BAT
The world's no.1 Test batter scored just one fifty from four innings against South Africa in the last Test series. But he has scored over 3000 runs at an average of almost 60 and will be a safe captaincy choice for the Dream11 Team.
Steve Smith AUS | BAT
Smith is closing on 9000 Test runs and is likely to achieve this feat in this series. He has scored 1742 Test runs at an average of 72.58 against India and has been in excellent form across formats lately.
Cheteshwar Pujara IND | BAT
India's veteran no.3 scored 90 & 102* against Bangladesh in the first Test in December and also completed 7000 runs in Test cricket. Pujara has scored 1893 runs at an impressive average of 54.08 against Australia in Tests so far.
Ravichandran Ashwin IND | ALL
Nagpur's pitch is supposed to be helpful for the spin bowlers and Ashwin is likely to bag maximum wickets. He took seven wickets from two innings against Bangladesh in the last Test series and has taken 89 wickets from just 18 Tests against Australia so far.
Travis Head AUS | BAT
The in-form batting all-rounder has cemented his place in the no.5 position in Australia's Test team with consistently impressive performances lately. He scored three half-centuries from just four innings against South Africa in the last Test series.
Virat Kohli IND | BAT
The former Indian captain ended his century drought lately with four white-ball hundreds in the last few months. Kohli will be looking to carry his red-hot form in Tests as well and have impressive numbers against Australia in Tests.
Usman Khawaja AUS | BAT
The veteran Australian opener scored 195* against South Africa in Australia's last Test match and enter this tournament after impressive performances in the Big Bash League 2023.
Mohammed Siraj IND | BOWL
The star Indian pacer has been in red-hot form in white-ball cricket having recently achieved the no.1 bowler's ranking in ODIs. Siraj has taken 13 wickets from three Tests against Australia so far and costs only 8.0 credits on the Dream11 Team.
Axar Patel IND | ALL
The spin all-rounder took eight wickets from two Tests against Bangladesh in India's last Test series and contributed 52 runs as well. Axar has taken 47 wickets from just eight Tests and costs only 8.0 credits on the Dream11 Team.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Suryakumar Yadav
IND | BAT
The star Indian batter is likely to make his Test debut in this fixture with Shreyas Iyer missing the match. Suryakumar has struggled in the recent ODIs and should be avoided for the Dream11 Team selection.
Lance Morris
AUS | BOWL
The 24-year-old pacer will be making his long-awaited debut in this match with Hazlewood and Starc ruled out with injuries. Morris enters this series with good success in BBL 2023 but is unlikely to produce wickets at Nagpur's surface.
