#1 Who might struggle- Prithvi Shaw
This might come as a surprise to some people as the recent outing against West Indies was very successful for the young Prithvi Shaw, but a weak West Indies bowling attack in home conditions in no match to the world-class Australian bowling attack in the away conditions.
Even the experienced openers have found it difficult in Australia, and this young man will be facing this lethal Australian attack with huge loads of expectation on his shoulder. Shaw is the Sehwag mould batsman, but not all are the Nawab from Najafgarh and it is too early to compare them both.
This Australian tour will be the litmus test for Prithvi Shaw, but with age on his side, and a captain who is willing to back him all the way, one can expect even a bad trip can help him to retain the spot as an opener.
