India vs Australia 2017: 5 player encounters to look out for

#3 Steve Smith vs Jasprit Bumrah

Will be crucial to get rid of Steve Smith

The Australian captain averages 66.72 against India in seven innings and has over the past 15 months proven to be India's biggest nemesis across all the three formats.

This series promises to be no different but then he might have to deal with the threat of Jasprit Bumrah who has, in a very short period, shot up not only in the rankings but also in the reckoning.

He has, with his plethora of variations with both the new and old ball, become Kohli's go to bowler in ODI cricket and hence when Smith walks in to bat, Bumrah will, by all means, have the ball to hurl at him.
