Shaun Marsh has been one of the best players for Australia. However, he has not been in the form this year, being able to score just 317 runs in 7 matches. Bumrah, on the other hand, has been in the form of his life. He has taken 28 wickets in 6 matches so far at a magnificent average of 25.57.

However, the 35-year-old left-hander enjoys a good record against India, having scored 422 runs against them. He has constantly supported David Warner and Steve Smith in the batting department. In their absence, the responsibility of the batting comes totally on him. His experience might play an important role for his team during the whole series.

The Indian team also carries a lot of expectations from Bumrah, who will be their lead bowler for the series. If he is able to control Marsh throughout the series, then India will have a good chance to win their first Test series in Australia this time around.
