6. Hardik Pandya 

Making a comeback to international cricket after a long break will be Hardik Pandya. The destructive all-rounder will hold the key for India in the lower middle order. Thus far in IPL 2020, Pandya has now bowled a single over hence it will be interesting to see whether he resumes bowling in the ODI series. 

Once Pandya starts bowling it automatically improves the balance of the Indian side. The hard-hitting batsman will be keen to perform against Australia and show his class in the death overs. Pandya is an ideal batsman at 6 as he has the power game to take away the game from any side only in a few overs.
