ICC World Twenty20 India 2016:  India v Australia
Coulter-Nile has been in sizzling form for the Aussies

Nathan Coulter-Nile has a pretty good idea of the Eden Gardens wicket. He has played quite a few matches on the ground for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and is aware of the two-paced nature of the wicket. Knowing this, the Australian kept mixing up his length and pace, resulting in Rohit Sharma chipping one back to him. Coulter-Nile almost missed the return catch but grabbed onto the rebound.

The well-built fast bowler then returned to dismiss Kedar Jadhav and Virat Kohli in quick succession to trigger a collapse. He had gotten rid of Kohli for a duck in the first ODI as well and seems to know a thing or two about bowling to the Indian captain. Considering the wealth of experience he carries and his current form, Coulter-Nile is quickly establishing himself as Australia's go-to bowler.
