Virat Kohli is expected to go back to number three in India's batting order, after having gone a slot lower against Australia. Kohli has been highly successful at no.3 and provides stability to the middle order, something which others can't and haven't been able to.
Meanwhile, Indian bowlers were disastrous in the Wankhede track, as Aaron Finch and David Warner slammed them for multiple boundaries, leading Australia to an easy win. Jasprit Bumrah has a huge task in hand, as he wasn't effective in his comeback match.
