Top 3 Ideal Spin Combinations for India for the 1st Test against Australia

1- Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel

Team India can make a daring choice and opt to go with three spinners in the first Test against Australia. Nagpur has a reputation of being a turning track and Kuldeep Yadav can prove to be quite a handful for the Australian batting line-up at this wicket. On the other hand, Ravichandran Ashwin is a no-brainer as he is just irreplaceable in the Test cricket for India. Axar Patel has also done quite well for India in the recent times and deserves to be in the playing XI ahead of the returning Ravindra Jadeja.

2- Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja

If India thinks they need to strengthen their batting even while having three spinners in the line-up for the 1st Test against Australia then Ravindra Jadeja should play ahead of Axar Patel. It is unarguable that Ravindra Jadeja is currently the better batter between the two when it comes to Test cricket. Also, Jadeja and Axar are almost similar when it comes bowling and he is the most suited player to play instead of Axar Patel in the 1st Test.

3- Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja

The classic duo of Jadeja and Ashwin have won India many matches over the years. They are still the most perfect pair for India in the spin bowling department in Test cricket. Team India can stick to their trusted spinners against the Australian side on the 1st Test.
