Australia vs India 2018-19: 5 interesting storylines that could determine the outcome of the Test series

#2 Mitchell Starc vs Virat Kohli

The best batsman in the world going against arguably the most lethal bowler of this generation

Mitchell Starc vs Virat Kohli is probably going to be the biggest narrative of this series. The biggest star in the Indian side going against the biggest star in the Australian one - that is one battle that could define the entire tour.

Starc has just recently made his way back into the team from injury, and has been slowly but steadily getting back to his old rhythm. He played in the last T20I against India and even in those four overs, he was able to show that he's back to his old brilliant self; the ball that got Shikhar Dhawan out was by far the ball of the match.

Starc showed good rhythm and bowled close to 150kph at times, which would always make it uncomfortable for batsmen.

On the other hand, you have Kohli who is in the form of his life and leading a side that is expected to win against the Aussies. The way both of them perform in this series is going to have a huge impact on the outcome.
