KL Rahul is the first player on this list. The right-handed batsman has been picked as one of the wicketkeepers in the squad. KL Rahul has already lost his opening slot to Shubman Gill.

In the ongoing series too, Shubman Gill is expected to open the innings and Rahul might be put in the middle order. If Rahul fails to perform in IND vs AUS Test series, he will find it hard to make a comeback to the team in the Test format.

Umesh Yadav is another player on this list. Yadav had vanished from the Test side due to his poor show. However, after a good show in Country Championship in England, he made a comeback to the side.

Also, the absence of Jasprit Bumrah helped him to be part of the Indian Test team. However, if Yadav fails to perform well in IND vs AUS Test series, he might not be picked for Tests in future series.
