After scoring 93 runs with the bat and help South Africa post 489 in the first innings, Jansen took 6/48 to skittle India out for just 201 runs. By the close of play, South Africa were firmly in the driver seat, having scored 26/0 runs in the second innings and swelling the total lead to 314.

India played two spin all-rounders to extend depth in batting which India clearly needed, given the performance so far. Removing Reddy or one of the pacers to fit in Kuldeep also doesn't make too much sense in Australia where spinners get little help and there are already two in the team.

Ashwin again questions Kuldeep's absence from India playing XI, but does the wrist spinner fit in?

Kuldeep, who made his debut for India in 2016, has not ever been able to cement his place in any of the format, often losing to all-rounder for batting depth in the playing XI.
