While the likes of Kohli, Vijay, Rahane and Pujara are difficult to contain for a whole series, Australia do have the right weapons in their armoury to wreck India's lower middle order and tail-enders.

A big issue England and New Zealand had was containing India’s long batting lineup. The likes of Ashwin, Jayant Yadav and Jadeja contributed vital runs in the previous series that helped India take important leads in each Test match.

Australia may not be able to contain Kohli or Pujara for long, however, once they get past the top order, it is imperative that they do not let the tail wag. If they can get rid of the lower order in quick time, Australia would have doubled their chances of winning.
