Five Australian batsmen who gave India the most trouble

Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting is arguably the best batsman that Australia has ever produced after Donald Bradman. Being one of the greatest batsmen of all times, "Punter" scored 2164 runs at 40.07 with a handy strike rate of 81.41 against India.

He played a World Cup winning knock of 140* against an Indian attack consisting of Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and Ashish Nehra in 2003. Ponting used to play graceful pull shots that made him accumulate hundreds of runs. He was troubled by young Ishant Sharma and Harbhajan Singh when India toured Australia in 2007/08.

The Smiths, the Warners and the Maxwells have to replicate what these Aussie legends have done in the past to remain competitive in the ongoing series. We are all aware of the talents that this bunch of Australian cricketers has.

Will they crumble under pressure against Bhuvi, Bumrah, Pandya and the wrist spinners or will they dominate the Indian bowling?
