#4 Josh Hazlewood, Brisbane
This was a match-turning, rather series-determining performance from the Australian quick. Indian were riding high on confidence after they almost pulled off a historic win under the leadership of Virat Kohli (Dhoni was out due to injury) in the 1st Test of India's 2014-15 tour of Australia.Had India won the 2nd Test, it would have shifted the momentum in its favour.
Josh Hazlewood made his presence felt in the first session itself when he tricked Pujara to nick off an away swinger to the keeper. He further broke the back of India's middle-order, dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara, Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni to end with figures of 5/68 in the first innings and 7/142 overall.
