IND v AUS 2020: Australia's predicted playing XI for the 1st Test

Bowlers: Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

Australia's Nathan Lyon has been a class apart with the pink ball

Australia's bowling attack - Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood - picks itself. The quartet have served their country brilliantly over the last few years, and have firmly established themselves as some of the best bowlers in the world.

While Cummins has been penetrative and consistent for Australia across formats, Starc has been a massive threat with the pink ball. Both players are on the back of rather unremarkable limited-overs series, but they are well-rested and will be raring to go against a shaky Indian batting lineup.

Hazlewood, on the other hand, was impressive in the white-ball leg of the tour. He'll serve up nagging lines and lengths as usual, and will resume his battles with Indian skipper Virat Kohli and No. 3 Cheteshwar Pujara.

Lyon has been perhaps the only spinner to seamlessly make the transition to Day-Night cricket, and this is largely due to the number of revs he puts on the pink ball. The veteran off-spinner was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy with 21 scalps, and he could continue from where he left off.
