While the Australian batting is not at full strength, all their first choice are bowlers are fit and available for selection. Despite, the team's struggles of late, the current Australian bowling attack is without a doubt the best in the world. The trio of Mitchel Stack, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are a complete pace bowling attack as they have everything one wishes from their pacers.

Each of them averages below 30 and there is not a batting unit in the world which would not fear them. It's a bowling unit which is not dependent on pitches. On the Australian tracks which are not expected to offer swing and seam, they could make a big difference.

To support them, Australia has arguably the best off-spinner of the last few years in their ranks in Nathan Lyon. The 31-year-old is someone who has produced the goods for Australia all over the world. He is one player who has been a consistently troubled the Indian team. Against the world number test team, Lyon has taken 64 wickets in 14 matches.

While the batting unit of hosts is vulnerable, the Australian bowling is sure to cause India major troubles. How well Virat Kohli's side play them could well decide the series.
