I feel Agar should either play as a bowler or not play at all. He is not a power hitter and Aussie don't need him to bat at 6. They need to find a better option.
Why change a winning formula?So, Pant is supposedly fit and is not starting today, while Pandey starts ahead of him in an unfamiliar role and Rahul as good as he has been up until now, continues to keep the gloves.
Does this mean that the bloke was dropped? And is Rahul the ODI wicket keeper out of position at five from now?
You need to watch all knockout matches of India since 2014 WT20 then you can surely get an answer to your question.Why change a winning formula?

Suprised that neither Stoinis nor Maxwell is in the team. Even Mitchell Marsh or somebody like a Travis Head would have been a good edition instead of Turner.Lack of power hitters in the squad cost us the series, definitely don't think Maxwell or Stoinis should be in the side but come on, you can't expect to have a team where the only player who can attack from the first ball in the middle order is Ashton Turner
After their last outing in the World Cup, they definitely needed to be sent back to Domestic cricket. They shouldn't be rewarded for costing us a finals appearance and maybe a win. Mitch Marsh is much more of a consistent batsman in ODI cricket and is a far better bowler so I would rather take him batting 5-6. Stoinis has had about 1 match winning innings since his 146 vs NZ and he was batting a 3. Maxwell is a complete hit or miss and has been more of a miss for the longest time. Travis Head has performed better opening so it wouldn't do us very good bringing him. With all of that being said, I just want Ashton Turner out of the teamSuprised that neither Stoinis nor Maxwell is in the team.

Shami has outstanding ever since comeback in ODI cricket.
Still can't get over the fact he was dropped in the Semis of the world cup for an half fit Bhuvi.
The ball is doing a bit after pitching in - perfect for somebody like Pat Cummins who would be lethal on this wicket. Not an easy target by any means for India.If he could just improve his consistency marginally, he is bound to become a legendary ODI bowler.
Australia probably underpar here but the lack of Dhawan means this will not be an easy chase at all.
Think after his break and his BBL form, Maxi deserves another go in place of Turner. Turner himself did not have a great BBL, looked out of form and Maxi seems in a much better head space that should aid his lack of consistency.After their last outing in the World Cup, they definitely needed to be sent back to Domestic cricket.
