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

#1 Rohit Sharma vs Pat Cummins

Has to deal with fast, swinging balls up front

Perhaps the best opener going around against the white ball, Rohit Sharma's contributions at the top of the order will not only set a platform for the rest of the batting order but also go a long way in determining the outcome of the match.

However, he will be facing Pat Cummins, who will be the leader of the bowling attack, and ever since his comeback into the Australian scheme of things, he has looked a complete article and is, by all means, a match winner with the ball.

The encounter between Rohit and Cummins during the first powerplay promises to be a real humdinger!
