Australian team ranks first in the current ICC rankings and enter this after beating Sout Africa at home in their last Test series. The star pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are missing the opening Test due to minor injuries while Cameron Green is also ruled out.

Pitch Report
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.
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.
