#3 Persist with Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant made the world take notice of his batting talent with an attacking hundred against England in the fifth and final Test of the series.
Pant is an attacking batsman who can take the game away from the opposition in a matter of few hours. Also, he is a left-hander which will make Australian bowlers adjust their line. His wicket-keeping is still a work-in-progress, but, the other option that India has in Parthiv Patel is also not known for his skills behind the stumps.
Australian pitches are conducive to stroke play which will allow Pant to play an attacking brand of cricket he is known for, and that will eventually allow India to put up a better batting performance in the lower middle order.
The lower order batting proved to be the difference between India and England during the English series which indicates the importance of lower middle order batting.
