India's strongest ODI playing XI for Australia tour

Spinners - Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal

Wrist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal complement each other well. They played a key role in helping India win their first ever ODI series win in South Africa and were good in the series against England also, especially Kuldeep.

Chahal's leg-spin will come in handy for India during the middle overs to break partnerships and choke the run flow. Chahal is very consistent and can be relied upon both in the powerplays and then in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav could prove to be the X-factor on this tour. Kuldeep's variations could make life extremely difficult for the batsmen, who are not the best at playing spin.
