IND vs AUS Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Matthew Wade (45(21) in the previous T20I match)
Matthew Wade scored 45 runs off just 21 balls in the previous game. While his form holds him in good stead, Wade has a terrific record against India, scoring 315 runs in eight innings at an average of 52.50. With Wade likely to be used as a floater, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Top Batter Pick
KL Rahul (55(35) in the previous T20I match)
KL Rahul has a decent record against Australia with 260 runs in eight innings. He comes into the game on the back of a fine fifty in Mohali. With Rahul looking in decent touch against the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, he is a top pick for your IND vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Hardik Pandya (71 matches, 955 runs, 54 wickets)
Hardik Pandya was another top performer in the previous game, scoring a 30-ball 71. While his batting form is noteworthy, much is expected of Hardik's bowling, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar struggling for consistency. With the conditions also suiting him, Hardik is a must-have in your IND vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Adam Zampa (63 matches, 71 wickets, Average: 21.73)
Adam Zampa is one of the best leg-spinners in the world, averaging just 21.73 with the ball. Although he went wicketless in Mohali, Zampa was relatively economical. With Zampa's recent form also being great, he is a top pick for your IND vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.
IND vs AUS match captain and vice-captain choices
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell is perhaps Australia's best asset in the shortest format with a T20I strike rate of 153.11. He has a brilliant record against India with 432 runs at an average of 30.85. With Maxwell also likely to take up the sixth bowler's role, he is a viable option as captain or vice-captain in your IND vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has been in good form since returning to the Indian T20I side, scoring 278 runs in his last six matches. In addition, he averages 55.38 against the Aussies in T20Is. With Virat due for a big score after a bad outing in the previous match, he is a good captaincy choice in your IND vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.
