#1 Not concede too many boundaries to the openers

As everyone is aware, India relies too much on their top three batsmen - Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli. This was clearly evident in so many matches in the past.

The Indian openers love to score boundaries, unlike skipper Kohli who loves to build an innings. If the visitors manage to curb that, then it adds pressure on the openers, and they might throw away the wicket.

If India lose their openers early, it adds more pressure on their fragile middle order. Australia can expose their weakness in the middle overs to turn the game.

But it's not easy to cut down boundaries when the Indian openers get going, as they can do so with ease. Australia either should stick to a good line and length, or place a better field to cut down the boundaries.
