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

Shami needs to stand up and be counted

Mohammed Shami returned in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the fourth ODI and had a day to forget. He was carted around by David Warner and Aaron Finch early, ending up conceding 62 runs without picking a wicket. India are unlikely to recall Bhuvneshwar for a dead rubber keeping in mind the T20I series that lies ahead, hence Shami will get a chance to redeem himself when he takes the field tomorrow at Nagpur.

Umesh Yadav too made his ODI return in the previous game, and while he went for quite a few, he managed to pick up four of the five wickets that well - those of Steve Smith, Aaron Finch, Travis Head and Peter Handscomb. Umesh is unlikely to feature in the T20I series with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ahead of him in the pecking order and hence this would his final opportunity to stake his claim.
