India vs Australia 3rd Test: 3 Bold Predictions

Mitchell Starc is going to make a return, and David Warner is going to miss out on both the 3rd and 4th Test due to an injury that he sustained in the 2nd Test match.

India and Australia are going to play the 3rd Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 at Holkar Stadium in Indore. The Indian cricket team is leading the four match series by 2-0, and a win in the 3rd Test will ensure their place in the final against Australia in World Test Championship 2023. Indore Stadium is going to have a red soil pitch for the Test match, which is going to help the spinners. Batting will be quite difficult on the track in the third and fourth innings. Australia’s spin woes are likely to be exposed more in the upcoming 3rd Test. Steve Smith is going to captain the Australian team in the absence of Pat Cummins. Mitchell Starc is going to make a return, and David Warner is going to miss out on both the 3rd and 4th Test due to an injury that he sustained in the 2nd Test match.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Bold Predictions

3 Bold Predictions for India vs Australia 3rd Test

1- Virat Kohli to Score a Century

Virat Kohli, the Indian run-machine, has an average of around 25 in the Test cricket for past three years. He has failed repeatedly in the longest format of the game. However, Kohli looked all set for a big inning in the 2nd Test before he was controversially judged out. The Indian batter will look to maximise his return to the form with a blasting century in the 3rd Test, and we expect him to get to the three figure landmark in this knock.

2- Mitchell Starc to Go Wicketless

The Australian pacer Mitchell Starc is expected to play in the 3rd Test in place of Pat Cummins, who has gone to home due to family emergency. Starc is a deadly bowler, but the Indian pitches are not going to suit him. The Indore Stadium pitch is going to be a spinners paradise, and Starc, who excels on fast decks, will find it hard to pick any wickets in the 3rd Test.

3- Steve Smith to Score a Century

The Australian captain Steve Smith has failed in the Test series so far. He is going to captain the Australian team in the 3rd Test, and we expect him to return to form with a scintillating century in the match.
