The left-arm wrist spinner has not been his usual self on the Australian tour. Kuldeep was a great success in South Africa and England but he has not managed to replicate his form on the Australian soil. In the first two ODIs, Kuldeep has conceded 120 runs in 20 overs with only two wickets. In the second ODI, he went wicketless while giving away 66 runs. This ODI now provides a final chance to Kuldeep Yadav to end the tour on the top.

#9 Khaleel Ahmed

Khaleel Ahmed conceded 55 runs in the eight overs he sent down against Australia in the first ODI at Sydney. He was dropped in the second ODI, and Mohammad Siraj earned his ODI debut. The ploy did not work, and Siraj gave away 76 runs in his 10 overs with three wides.

The team management will have to pick one between Khaleel and Siraj. Khaleel played in the T20Is against Australia and was impressive in the home series against India. His left-arm bowling adds another dimension to the attack as well.
