5 key battles to watch out for in the India - Australia series

Yuvraj Singh Vs Mitchell Johnson:

Yuvraj Singh is making a come-back to the Indian side after some sparkling showing in the ‘A’ series against the West Indies and the Challenger series. After a training stint in France, Yuvi has lost a few kilos and is looking as fit as he was in his prime. With both form and fitness in his side, Yuvraj would want to make a fresh beginning to his career. While comparison with his old-self is sure to be there, he would want to stay clear of that.

Johnson was back to his fiery best for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, clocking speeds of around 150 kph. He picked up 9 wickets in the last series against England including a four-for in the first match. With his pace and slinging action, Johnson would be a potent weapon for his captain and Bailey would want to unleash him against Yuvraj to stop the south-paw from getting into his stride.
