Ashwin played the 1st Test and he got injured before the 2nd Test, the openers Murali Vijay, and K.L. Rahul are not performing well and the middle order is fully dependent on Captain Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara.

A piece of good news for the Indian team is that all-rounder Hardik Pandya is all fit and is likely to make his comeback in the 3rd Test against the kangaroos. He was injured during the Asia Cup 2018 and was going under various treatments and surgeries. He will boost the energy of the Indian team in the middle order and with his balling too.

The former Australian national cricket team batsman Michael Hussey want Indian team to include the all-rounder Hardik Pandya in the Playing XI as he will help with both, that is bat and ball, and it will help in attacking the opponent.
