5 key battles to watch out for in the India - Australia series

Australian middle-order Vs Indian spinners:

Jadeja and Ashwin played a crucial role in India’s triumph in the Champions Trophy. The weakness of the Australians against the spin bowling is no secret and these two spinners bamboozled them when the Australians were here the last time. With Yuvraj back in the side, it gives one more additional spinning option for Dhoni.

But Jadeja had a miserable Champions League and the Australians could certainly have taken a cue out of that. India’s weakness in death bowling is well-known and the opposition batsmen can well afford to play Ashwin out and take advantage of India;s wayward bowling in the final overs.

There are also other match-winners like Kohli, Raina, Rohit Sharma, Mckay, who could turn a match around on their own. This promises to be one interesting series.
