Australia vs India 2018-19: 5 key individual battles that will decide the ODI series

#3 MS Dhoni vs Peter Siddle

Veterans face-off!

The 2011 World-cup winning captain MS Dhoni returns to the Indian side for the ODI series against Australia as a wicket-keeping batsman. Despite passing the baton of captaincy to Virat Kohli, Dhoni still engages in plenty of strategic talks with Kohli in between overs to cook up wicket-taking ploys.

Being one of the fastest hands behind stumps at the international level and still an excellent finisher down the batting order, Dhoni's presence in the team will bolster India's batting strength. Unfortunately, Dhoni has not been able to deliver as well as he would have liked to in recent few innings.

With a fast-bowling veteran Peter Siddle joining the Australian side, it will be interesting to see how he plans to stop Dhoni in the ODI series as Siddle is expected to do plenty of bowling in the death overs.
