India vs Australia 2017: India's predicted playing XI for fifth ODI

India's skipper has had a rather disappointing series

Virat Kohli had had a quiet series by his standards, averaging just 35 across four matches. He has gotten starts in two games but subsequently thrown his wicket away. He will be looking to finish the series on a high and get some confidence ahead of the T20I series. While his batting has disappointed, his aggressive body language and smart captaincy have paid rich dividends for Team India.

Manish Pandey was expected to stake his claim for the No.4 spot in this series, but surprisingly, his two biggest contributions have come lower down the order - at No.6. With Hardik Pandya's promotion to 4 proving to be a masterstroke, Pandey's only hope of finding a place in the side will be if he can hone his art as a finisher.
