Ravi Shastri picks India-Australia Test XI: Ravi Shastri picks Test XI

Ravi Shastri India-Australia Test XI: Before the WTC final, former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has announced the best playing XI by combining the players of India and Australia. The most shocking thing in the Best Playing XI (India-Australia Test XI) selected by Shastri is that he has given place to only 4 players from Team India. The four players who Shastri has included in this team of his choice are Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jadeja and Mohammed Shami, while the former Indian coach has made Rohit Sharma the captain of this team. Apart from this, the former coach has included Australian players like Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon in his team. Apart from this, in this XI selected by Shastri, the former coach has described Nathan Lyon as his choice and not Ashwin as a spinner.

The former coach said that it was difficult to choose a joint India-Australia Test XI. Ashwin is the best class spinner. Pujara can play in every Test team. So it was difficult for me to select such a team. "If Steve Smith had been Australia's captain, Maybe I would have made him the captain of this team, but I had to choose between Pat Cummins and Rohit. In such a situation, definitely my choice is Rohit as captain.

Shastri has picked Marnus Labuschagne, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith for No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5. "My choice for No. 60 was Labuschagne from the start, his performance has been fantastic. His average is close to 3, so he has become my choice at Number 5. At the same time, Shastri said about Kohli, "What Kohli has done in so many years, he has done by batting at number four. Smith is the No. <> choice for me.
