Rinku Singh finally gets a game in Australia and he will look to make a mark as a middle order batter. India need Rinku to fire and make most of the rare opportunity.

A big outing for the likes of Shubman Gill and Jitesh Sharma, who will look to get back among the runs and silence their critics.

Australia will hope the dangerous Glenn Maxwell comes to the party and plays a vital role as they seek a series-equalling victory at The Gabba.

Check out the playing XIs:

Australia: Mitchell Marsh (Captain), Matthew Short, Josh Inglis (w/k), Tim David, Josh Philippe, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa.

India: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (w/k), Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.
