India vs Australia 2017: 5 positives for India

Deadly death bowling

Australia v India - Game 1

One of the things that made a big difference in the tour for India was their death bowling. After the return of Aaron Finch, the Aussies got off to great starts thrice before the Indians pulled things back.

The main reason behind this was the Indian wrist spinners, who gave vital breakthroughs in the middle overs. The Indian pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah then maintained the pressure on the Aussie batsmen by keeping things tight in the death overs.

Though both Bhuvi and Bumrah took five wickets each in the ODI series, they were economical in the death overs and made life difficult for the visitors with their variations. A strong pace bowling department is always a dream for the Indian fans and now, they can breathe easy as the side have found two gems in Bhuvi and Bumrah.
