Australia vs India Test series: 3 players who can be match-winners for India

2. KL Rahul

KL Rahul has not been a regular in the Test team, so the upcoming series against Australia is a golden opportunity for him to show his class and cement his place.

Rahul's biggest problem in his career so far has been his inconsistency. Every once in a while he plays a memorable innings, as he did during the last Test in England, but he usually can't keep up his good form for more than a couple of matches.

What he needs to master is how to score runs consistently. If Rahul gets going, then he can score as quickly as anybody in the world.

He has the unique ability to score quickly as well as bat for long periods, and both of those things could greatly help India on this tour.

1. Virat Kohli

Arguably one of the greatest batsman of all time, and the best of his generation, Virat Kohli has come a long way as a Test cricketer over the last few years. After his exceptional English tour with the bat, where he was the highest run scorer by a distance, Kohli would look to replicate his performance in Australia too.

He has been scoring big hundreds and double hundreds in recent Test matches with ease, specially after becoming the captain of the side. On this Australian tour, Kohli will again be the backbone of the Indian batting and the most important match-winner for the team.
