Nathan Lyon is one of those rare spinners who has bowled well against Indian batsmen. His record is equally impressive against Kohli's men, whether at home or away.
Overall, Lyon has taken 64 wickets against India in 14 Test matches. In Australia, he has taken 30 wickets against India in 7 Tests.
The Indian batsmen would have to be wary of Lyon's turn and variations if they want to maintain an upper hand against the Aussies after the new ball has lost its sheen.
Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins can be a difficult customer on the bouncy tracks of Australia. He has the ability to generate disconcerting bounce, with a very dangerous short ball in his repertoire.
Cummins hasn't played against India that often. In the 2 Test matches that he has played against India, both of which came in India, he has bagged 8 wickets.
That suggests he has been able to trouble the Indian batsmen, so the visitors would have to be on their guard against him in the upcoming series.
