Australia vs India 2018-19: 5 players who are crucial for Australia's chances in the Test Series

#2 Usman Khawaja

Usman Khwaja is the best batsman in the team.

Usman Khawaja will never find a better opportunity than this in his career to grab the attention of the Australian audience. He's Australia's best batsman currently and needs to prove it against a quality Indian bowling.

Khawaja has been very inconsistent in his career but has always shown signs of a great player with great stop-gap performances. This time, he has to hit the top gear for the whole series to assist a weak Aussie batting for any chances to win the series.

There are many new Test entrants in this squad and Khawaja, along with Marsh, needs to stand up to the challenge. The likes of inexperienced Aaron Finch, Marcus Harris, Travis Head don't look reliable enough as of now. So now is the time for Khawaja to become the hero in crisis for Australian cricket.
