Australia’s top four, that consists of openers David Warner and Aaron Finch, the new kid on the block Marnus Labuschagne at No. 3 with Steve Smith to follow, is probably one of the strongest batting line-ups in today's time.

All four are capable enough of winning the match single-handedly on their day, and that throws a daunting challenge to the Indian bowlers.

The cricketing world is witnessing a new hero in the form of Labuschagne. After a wonderful summer back home, in which he attained a Bradmanesque batting average, this will be a terrific test for the young batsman in a different format.

The youngster tackles spin well, a fact which was evident during the series against Pakistan and New Zealand.

In him and Smith, Australia have two batsmen at No. 3 and 4 who play spin very well and that is very important to do well in this part of the world.

While Warner and Finch can provide explosive starts, Labuschagne and Smith can lay down the foundation through the middle overs for a big finish at the end.

It is going to be extremely difficult for the Indian bowlers, for sure!
