5 conclusions from the India vs Australia T20Is series

#5 Starc will be Australia's X-Factor this coming World Cup

There were shades of brilliance from Starc during the Indian Onslaught

India really went after the Australian bowlers in the first six overs of the final T20I. The bowlers were smacked all around the park with not much happening for the bowlers. Both Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma had smacked the bowl out of the ground with consummate ease.

And then, out of nowhere, Starc bowled a beautiful inswinger at pace and Dhawan despite being in the form of his life couldn't get his bat to it on time and was struck in front of the stumps.

Australia got the wicket on the review but in that brief moment, Starc showed shades of what he can do. On a lifeless pitch with the opposition going at the rate of knots, he produced brilliance which in another match with Cummins and Hazelwood backing him up could have changed the game.

In that brief moment, Starc, the highest wicket taker of the last World Cup, showed who is going to be Australia's trump card in the World Cup.
