India had a big scare before the start of the England series. India's two prime bowlers Bhuvi and Bumrah were injured and it was a big blow for India. Ishant really took the responsibility on his shoulders as the leading bowler for India. He was phenomenal in all the Tests for India. He bowled beautifully with his impeccable line and length.

He took 18 wickets in five matches. He played all the matches with a great intensity. He took charge of the bowling department from the front. He would be very important for India in Australia. His bowling with Bumrah would define the course of the series.


3. Cheteshwar Pujara

Pujara always becomes a questionable character when it comes to foreign tours. After the terrible dismissals in his first three innings, Pujara showed some grit in the second innings of the third match in England. He was unlucky that he was not able to convert the inning into a hundred. He gained a lot of confidence by that inning. He scored a good hundred in the fourth Test.

Pujara has to be at the crease if India wants to last longer. Pujara has the ability to last throughout the session, which becomes a key in the foreign conditions. If Pujara bats out the new ball in the next match, it would become easier for India to score runs in the next sessions. Pujara has to play a role of anchor in the series to guide India to their victory in Australia.
