India will miss the services of regulars Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Jasprit Bumrah, along with KL Rahul who might have got a game had he been fit. Australia, on the other hand, have been dealt a late blow with Josh Hazlewood being ruled out due to side soreness which he picked up during the IPL.
