India vs Australia 2019: 5 key players who could make the difference for India

#2 Shikhar Dhawan

Dhawan will look to regain his form

Shikhar Dhawan is the batsman to watch out for this series. The southpaw hasn't been in great form and things have just been droning on for him. With Rohit Sharma being the player more likely to be rested, this series will be a great opportunity for him to regain his lost touch.

He has loved Australia as an opponent and a home series can do wonders for his confidence. India will want their premier opener to shine and thrash the Aussie bowlers. The pitches in India will suit his batting style and he's a player to watch out for.

#1 Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah receives appreciation from Kohli

Jasprit Bumrah's return will be the one which most Indian fans will be waiting to see. He was rested for the limited-overs series against New Zealand and the preceding ODI-series against Australia on the back of outstanding yet exhausting performance in the Test series.

Bumrah was missed in New Zealand but the India bowlers covered up for him fairly well with Mohammed Shami impressing one and all. Bumrah will surely play all the games as Bhuvi is rested for the first 2 ODIs and is not part of the squad in the T20Is. His yorkers and lethal pace at the start will provide tough competition to the Aussie batters who will also have to face a nightmare later on in the innings in the form of Kuldeep and Chahal.

Bumrah is India's greatest impact player and captain Kohli's trump card and he will hope that he gets a fitting comeback after a break.
