#6 Miss: Peter Handscomb

Australian wicketkeeper, Matthew Wade, had a nightmare of a time in the first two games of the series. He couldn't score past single digits in both the games, got into a feud with Kohli in the second game and struggled to stay upright in the extracting humidity of Kolkata at Eden Gardens.
His misery ended when he was snubbed for Peter Handscomb for the third game of the series.
However, it seems like bad fortune has latched itself onto Australian keepers right now. Handscomb had a chance of imprinting his name on the game when he came into the fold after Maxwell's dismissal. However, the youngster, who impressed heavily in the Test series against India earlier this year, could only score a hapless 3 off 7 deliveries.
He will get a couple more games in the series to make a case for his selection in the Ashes to follow, and it remains to see if he can stay focused enough to achieve the same, considering the strength and diversity that India has in its bowling reserves right now.
