India vs Australia 2017: 5 player battles to look out for in the T20s

#1 Nathan Coulter-Nile vs Rohit Sharma

In the midst of a purple patch

This tussle in the powerplay could set the tone of the innings, the match, and the series.

Rohit was the leading run scorer in the ODI series and Coulter-Nile posed plenty of problems every time he galloped in to bowl. With sharp pace and decent outswing, Coulter-Nile can peg the Indians back with early breakthroughs, and there is no bigger fish than Rohit.

However, the Indian vice-captain is in the midst of a purple patch and seems to have the answers to almost all the questions hurled at him. A stern test awaits him, but he is confident after the ODI series and hence suitable answers should be fired back at the bowler.
