Shubman Gill
Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Shubman Gill had been in form of his life during the recently-concluded IPL. The Orange Cap winner amassed 890 runs in 17 matches at an impressive average of 59.33 which included three centuries and four half-centuries. Gill, who has scored 128 in his last Test match against Australia, earlier this year, will look to continue his fine form against the same opponent at The Oval.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli will be itching to make a big impact against Australia after failing to deliver in the 2021 WTC final against New Zealand at Southampton. The then India skipper got a good start, scoring 44, in the first innings. He however, failed to convert it into a big score. The right-handed batsman managed just 13 in the second innings as India went on to lose the game by eight wickets. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) opener scored back-to-back tons in his last two IPL matches and the Australians are well aware that Kohli has an ability to score big runs to put them out of the game.
