India vs Australia 2019: 5 key players who could make the difference for India

#4 Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is in the form of his life and has made it a habit of befuddling batsmen. Kuldeep was rested for a few matches in New Zealand will be fresh with energy and can surely make a big difference and be the X-Factor for India in this series.

Yuzvendra Chahal, his spin twin, has also been in great form and Kohli's love for wrist spinners means that the duo are certain to start the matches.

#3 Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is sure to make a big difference in this series. The all-rounder impressed on his return to the side but his full effect wasn't shown. He took few spectacular catches and fielded very well, he also played few quick cameos smashing the Kiwi bowlers all around the park.

More so, his bowling will be of great importance. His presence will mean that India doesn't need to play an extra pace bowler and can use that spot to accommodate some of the other fringe players. Full of heat and a point to prove, Pandya will want to make a statement that he's fully back after his off-field controversy.
