3 issues for skipper Virat Kohli to resolve before Australia Test series 

#1 Who will open?

With Shikhar Dhawan being dropped from the squad, it is most likely that the southpaw won't take the flight to Australia for the Test series. His dismal run on overseas tours has led to his ouster from the team. It is also certain that India will bank on young players like Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal for the opening slot alongside KL Rahul, in the future.

KL Rahul is a sure starter as an opener, although India still needs to find his partner. This is why the two games against Windies hold a key for a probable idea of India's opening pair in Test matches. It also seems that Murali Vijay will see his career at crossroads as the veteran will have to make hard yards to get back into the fray for the opening slot.
