#1 Fitness concerns of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins

The injuries and fitness of Hazlewood and Pat Cummins will be another important issue which will affect the outcome of the Test series. Though they are expected to be fit for the series, we may have to wait to see how the workload during the series will take a toll on them.
Mitchell Starc was back in the team against Pakistan. However, he didn't make much of an impact. Veteran bowler Peter Siddle will be another backup option along with Mitchell Marsh and the other sets of fast bowlers Australia has.
Nathan Lyon will be accountable for the spin bowling department once again, but, Indian batsmen's ability to play spin well will make things tough for him.
The series will be once again the battle between Indian batsmen and Australian bowlers. Kohli and co. will get plenty of time to adapt to the conditions as they play the T20 series and ODIs ahead of the Test matches.
India has a big chance to win the series here in Australia which considering the factors favouring them and therefore should grab them with both hands.
