India's Predicted starting XI for Test series against Australia
This series shall be a treat to watch for Test cricket fans.
6. Hanuma Vihari
Hanuma Vihari has been around with the Indian Test team for the past couple of years. He made his Test debut against England in 2018 at the Oval and notched a half-century in the first innings, batting at number 6. He has scored 552 runs in 9 Tests at an average of 36.80. A handy part-time off-spinner, he has taken 5 wickets as well.
Vihari did not do badly in the Australia tour considering the circumstances. He scored 111 runs in 5 innings with a top-score of 42. He was given the challenging task of opening the batting in the 3rd Test along with Mayank Agarwal. He did a decent job of seeing off the new ball in both the innings, which made things simpler for the batsmen to follow.
He has highly impressive numbers at number 6. 512 runs in 12 innings with 1 century and 4 half-centuries- all of which came in foreign conditions. If the management backs him consistently, expect him to come in handy once again.
