The tourist are struggling in India, they have managed to win just one game in five matches which include four ODI and one T20I, their confidence has taken a massive hit and is without talisman and leader Steve Smith.
India will be looking to inflict more pain as they will be aiming to wrap up another series win when taking on the Aussies at the ACA-Barsapara stadium in Guwahati. In the previous match, India routed Australia by nine-wickets in the rain-hit opener in Ranchi to take a 1-0 lead.
The visitors will have to play out of their skins to arrest the slide and level the series ahead of the last T20I in Hyderabad on October 13. For that to happen, the Australian need to find a way to move fast the wrist spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Chahal who have shared 16 wickets between them in four ODIs and T20I.
India (probable) 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 Manish Pandey, 5 Kedar Jadhav, 6 MS Dhoni (wk), 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Kuldeep Yadav, 9 Yuzvendra Chahal, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Jasprit Bumrah
Probable XI: David Warner(c), Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head, Moises Henriques/Marcus Stoinis, Daniel Christian, Tim Paine(wk), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jason Behrendorff, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa
